First off this is a long term lemming of mine and I was lucky enough to aquire it from one of my polish BFF's, well acutally her awesome husband picked it up for me.... how amazing is that?? I think I need to be doing some training with my man.... ha ha!
I don't own many Deborah Lippmanns but the ones I do I absolutely love. The formulas are great and who could resist that bottle, it's luxury to me! You know that feeling when something you've wanted for ages doesn't quite match up to what you've been imagining it to be, well this polish is NOT that problem. It is absolutely gorgeous, in fact if I had realised how beautiful it is I would have bought it myself long ago. I actually wore it for about 4 days and these photos were taken on day 3... that's how good the formula is. Also, it was actually pretty easy to remove too.
Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream is a green gold shimmer with an aqua blue base and blue glitters throughout, that's probably not a perfect description but it's as close as I'm going to get.
I used 2 coats for this mani and just so you know, this is one hungry polish! I used 2 coats of topcoat and it was still gritty so a further coat of Gelous and topcoat then sorted it out. It was well worth it, it's just stunning. I think everyone should own this one.
Hello fellow polish lovers,
OK for my very 3rd post I have Butter London Disco Biscuit to show you.
Butter London is a British brand but seems to be impossible to find in British stores except Harvey Nichols or online, very strange in my opinion! But they do have amazing polishes and great formulas.
I was lucky enough to get this amazing polish in a swap from one of my polish friends Peggy - how lucky was I??
Butter London Disco Biscuit is a gorgeous hot pink jelly with blue micro-glitter. It was released as part of Butter London's Spring/Summer 2012 colection.
As with all jellies it applied pretty sheer and for these pictures I used 4 coats. It also dries quite gritty which I was surprised by but this was fixed by 2 coats of topcoat. I used OPI Rapid Dry this time because my new beloved Poshe was packed away somewhere!
The glitter in this really does shine through and it really pretty and I love the squishiness of the jelly finish.
I can still see a VNL even with 4 coats and so next time I think I'll layer it over a similar colour or use it for a candy mani over a pretty glitter. I do love it and am pleased to have it in my stash!

Although this is a bit blurry it does show you how sparkly this polish can be!

This is what the bottle should look like:
Did you know that a Disco Biscuit is actually another name for an ecstasy tablet (as in the drug)??
Disco Biscuit can be ordered from Butter London at http://www.butterlondon.com/ for £12 GBP or $14 USD. I do believe that Ulta in the US also stock it.
