Claw Candy: Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dreams

I CAN'T. STOP. STARING. AT MY NAILS.

I have never seen as beautiful a nail polish as Deborah Lippmann's Mermaid's Dreams.  It's absolutely mesmerizing and there's no picture I could have taken to do it any type of justice.  To me, it looks like a shimmery aqua blue base with a heavy teal green sheen when it hits the light.  And in the mix of it all are some chunky dark teal glitter.  You have to see it on your own nails to fully appreciate it's splendor.  It really does remind you of mermaids.  And one more great thing:  For it being such a shimmery/glittery polish it wasn't all that hard to remove with just plain ol' cotton balls and acetone!  


If you remember a past edition of "I NEED THIS", you may recall that I once coveted this polishin a bad way.  What was keeping me away was its $18 price tag, but I found a killer deal that I also mentioned you guys a few weeks ago from Beauty.com.  Not only did I snag this for 20% off, but I also got 13% cash back from Ebates on it!  With all that I couldn't justify not getting this polish, and I'm so glad I did!


You can find more info about this polish from LippmannCollection.com and I highly recommend purchasing from Beauty.com, as they have frequent deals on the site!


Just a note on application:  I did find this to be a bit weird in application.  It wasn't bad, just not what I was used to.  I found that I didn't really need to wipe some of the excess off of the brush like I typically do with other polishes as it seems a little actually does not go a long way.  So I recommend just dipping the brush in the bottle and putting it directly on your nail with the excess and all.  Not a big deal though.

Pretty Decent Deal Alert for Beauty.com!! 33% Discount!!

Recently I heard that Beauty.com was having their Family & Friends 20% off sale, which I wasn't all that excited about.  When you add it up, 20% isn't really that much for me to spend money that I really shouldn't be spending in the first place.  But while wandering through Ebates I noticed that they had Beauty.com as 13% back!  That means you will be getting a total 33% discount off of your purchase.  Obviously the savings is not immediate, but Ebates pays out quaterly as long as your balance is $5 or above I think so you won't have to wait too long for the full discount to take effect.  I'm definitely checking the sale out now!  The site also has free shipping over $25 and 5% back rewards :)  They have many of the same brands and products that Sephora and Ulta carry.


Beauty.com's sale ends 5/18 and I'm not sure if the Ebates 13% back special will last through the week or if it's just for today, so you may want to hurry if you're interested!


You can check out the Friends and Family Sale here on Beauty.com, and if you don't have an Ebates (it's basically just an online rebates program, no catch) account already and want more information, you can sign up here at Ebates.com!
