Remember Mermaid’s Dream, that gorgeous metallic seafoam green that Deborah Lippmann released last summer?
If you’re a fan of that beautiful glittery shade, I have great news for you.
This summer, glitter queen Deborah Lippmann is releasing four new shades inspired by the crazy popular Mermaid’s Dream. Deborah said, “I created these shades by listening to what customers wanted – more Mermaid’s Dream. I took the beautiful glittered shimmer to another level by creating a whole family of shades reminiscent of the cult classic.”
The four shades are Mermaid’s Kiss, Do The Mermaid, Million Dollar Mermaid and Mermaid’s Eyes.
Let’s start with Million Dollar Mermaid.
Described by Deborah as “tangerine twinkle,” this citrusy shade comes with orange sparkle.
This color would look fabulous with your tan.
Because of the crazy sparkle, this and the other shades in the collection might dry a little gritty.
But no worries – just use a top coat to make it smooth and shiny.
Lovely formula, application was a breeze.
I used three coats.
This is Do The Mermaid, one of my favorites.
Seriously. If I were a mermaid and I could choose the color of my tail, I would totally go for this.
So pretty.
Deborah Describes this as “lavender luster.”
Great formula too.
I used three coats.
LOVE.
This is Mermaid’s Kiss.
Deborah describes this as “bubbling blush.”
But this color is so much more than that. It’s cray to the zy.
Because you don’t just have a soft shimmery pink base and fuchsia sparkle, Mermaid’s Kiss also has gold glitter that gives it a golden sheen.
THAT. GOLDEN. SHEEN.
Crazy.
Again, problem-free formula.
I used three coats.
And the last shade is Mermaid’s Eyes.
Deborah describes this as “seaside cerulean.”
But I’d call it seaside awesome.
I love the metallic silvery blue base.
I love the silver and blue sparkle.
Love love love.
If my mermaid sisters refused to let me have Do The Mermaid as the color of my tail, Mermaid’s Eyes would definitely be my next choice.
Lovely formula, slightly more opaque than the others. I used two coats.
Now I know these colors would be fantastic to use for a mermaid-inspired skittles mani but I wanted to do something else. I wanted to see if they could be layer the different shades for a fun and easy gradation mani.
And the answer is yes, yes, yes!
First I layered Do The Mermaid over Mermaid’s Eyes.
And I loved how it looked.
So pretty.
Then I wanted to push things a bit and see if I can layer Mermaid’s Kiss over Mermaid’s Eyes and Do The Mermaid.
And yes, it turned out that I could do that.
And I ended up loving this collection even more.
A few more pictures because I couldn’t stop myself.
With top coat.
Deborah Lippmann’s Mermaids – Summer 2013 Collection will be available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source in June. Each bottle will be available for ₱825 each.
