Deborah Lippman Mermaid's Dream

This is probably the most expensive nail polish that's ever graced by fingers. I present Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream, a complex aqua glitter. The base seems to be a mixture of fine foil-like gold and light blue-green glitters, with larger and darker turquoise hex glitters interspersed throughout. The formula was slightly sheer but built up to full opacity in two coats. So...I bought this for one of my friends as a birthday gift, but ended up trying out the sample bottle at Sephora on myself. I stood there in the middle of the store and did a full manicure. No shame. I think all the Deborah Lippmanns are overpriced (like $18 to $21?) for pretty average-looking colors but this one drew my eye.
