Summer Greens Day Four: Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream

Yup, after figuring out a layering combination to approximate this polish, I bought it when Beauty.com had a free shipping and 20% off sale.  I just couldn't resist.  Mermaid's Dream is the epitome of a cool summer green--it's a pale, blue-tinged green foil base with hex glitter that shifts from blue to green.  It took three coats for opacity and needed two coats of Nubar Diamont to make it shiny and to smooth out the glitter roughness on my nails.

I would not have been able to justify full price for this polish, but I do love it and I'm glad I got it!
