My friend gifted me my first Deborah Lippman nail polish. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to try brands that I never have!

I took this picture from my Instagram. I already reviewed Orly Calcium Shield Basecoat (top middle). For this post, I'm going to review the polish on the bottom left.

Product Review: Deborah Lippman in Do The Mermaid, Limited Edition

Where to purchase: Sephora and online at deborahlippmann.com
Price: $20 for 0.5 fl oz/ 15mL

Made in USA

Description from the website: Enter the dreamlike fantasy of our mermaid hues, inspired by fan-favorite Mermaid's Dream. Experience the mermaid's gorgeous glittering shine.
Thoughts: When I received this, I was excited! Not only have I been wanting to try Deborah Lippmann nail polish, this is just gorgeous.

Here's a closer picture of the color and it's very true! The website describes it as "lavender luster."

Here's how the brush looks like. Compared to OPI, it's thinner in width.

I applied Orly Calcium Shield Basecoat, 2 coats of Deborah Lippmann in Do The Mermaid, and then topped it off with Butter London Hardwear P.D. Quick Topcoat.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all even though the brush was thin, I actually found it easy to paint around the cuticles. That's a huge plus because I'm not good with using thin brushes. Secondly, the consistency is between thin to medium. Even though it was not medium (perfect consistency in my term), it wasn't runny. It applied smoothly, and there was no streaking and bubbles. With that said, I actually found the small glitters easy to work with. I know a lot of glitter polishes fall to the bottom but this didn't. It was spread out, as well as, on the nails. Third, the lasting power was 4 days. I noticed slight chipping at the tips. Since the color is light, it wasn't noticeable or at least to my naked eyes. You only notice it if you examine the nails closely. Plus, this is a gorgeous color. I even had a co-worker asking if she can use the polish. Lastly and with all glitter polishes, it takes some work to take it off. It's not as bad as big glitters but it does take some effort.

Pros:
* Gorgeous color!
* Thin brush but was easy to use.
* Easy to apply.
* No streaking.
* No bubbles.
* Glitters did not fall to the bottom in the bottle.
* Glitters were spread out on the nails.

Cons:
* Lasted 4 days before chipping.
* Takes some effort to remove.

Would repurchase: Yes.
