Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream

Deborah Lippmann's Mermaid's Dream has been on a lot of nail and beauty blogs. It's from the Resort collection for Spring 2012, and it's beautiful; a sea foam green base with gold and turquoise glitter and turquoise mini-sequins. The texture is slightly rough, but I quite like that; it has the feel of foam-washed sand. You can smooth it out with a top coat if you prefer to.

There are many great pictures of this polish on the blogsphere; Vampy Varnish, Nails and Noms and A Vain Woman all stoked my desire for this polish. My post is really just a head's up that I found it in the House of Fraser store in London Victoria, after looking for it in vain in the Oxford Street Store.

This is £16, but I paid it willingly. Picture is of three coats; it applied easily and dried quickly. The brush is great; wide enough to do the nail smoothly in three swipes, but not so wide it's unwieldy, and perfectly trimmed.
