Hello!
Today we're going to take a look at Sassy Pants Polish's newest collection, the Let's Be Mermaids collection! Each polish in this collection is designed to sparkle and twinkle and dazzle like a gorgeous mermaid sunning herself on a an idyllic beach. So if you like shimmery holographic goodness, pull up a chair.

Coverage: 2 coats in the first picture, 3 coats in the others
Formula and application: Good; glitters spread evenly and well.
I couldn't resist adding an accent nail tail to each of these using the UberChic Beauty Mermaid Life plate, and for this one, I stamped with Hit The Bottle Polish Amethyst Sizzle and Messy Mansion Lilac; Apparently this mermaid was a little drunk on her magic because her scales are a little askew! Let's hope the rest of our ladies are better behaved...
This is one of my favorites in the collection because of the interplay of blue and purple--I love the flashes of blue and pink and purple glitter and the blueish shimmer--this mermaid is the royal princess of the group. I wanted to show you the difference on this one between two and three coats--you'll probably get great coverage just fine with two, but there's a color and glitter difference with the extra coat that I wanted to highlight.
Next up is Sassy Pants Polish Mermaid Tails is a scattered holographic teal jelly with red-blue-purple UCC flakies:

This mermaid is a deep-sea diva, and this is another of my top picks from this collection--this looks like a shot of teeny phosphorescent jellyfish hanging out in the depths of the ocean, with all sorts of sea plants swaying around. I'd wear three coats of this just to get an extra layer of depth to it, but even with two coats all of the elements swirl together into nautical goodness. Love.
Then there's Sassy Pants Polish Mermaid Tears, a gold-shimmer seafoam jelly with aqua-green iridescent glitters, aqua hexes, turquoise micro glitters and blue-green chameleon shifting shimmer amid a scatter of holographic gorgeous:

This mermaid is ethereal and extravagant, like a gilded statue springing to life no the shore of the beach, waves of foam rolling off of her. The next time I'm going for a romantic walk on the beach with my sweetheart, this is what I'm wearing.
Next is Sassy Pants Polish Mermaid's Curse, a black jelly with multichrome flakes and blue-green shimmer:

This mermaid has a mysterious past and a goth soul. The flakes in this are like elegant jewels peeking out of a deep night sky, and the shimmer adds a touch of magic. Another favorite of mine.
Next up is Sassy Pants Polish Mermaid's Dream, a coral jelly with gold shimmer and orange-green shifting glitters:

This mermaid is sweet with a little bit of sassy sauce. This polish is versatile and soft, but the green shimmer gives it hint of pow. Gorgeous.
Next is Sassy Pants Polish Mermaid Love, a petal-pink jelly with a brush of scattered holo, a dash of golden shimmer, and a sprinkle of orange-fuchsia-gold UCC flakies:

This mermaid was raised by unicorns! If you could grow a magical unicorn strawberry, this is what it'd look like. The shimmer to the polish is understated, and I love how the flakes give the polish edge (this is why I chose a strong, dark, polish for my accent stamping). For beautiful mermaids who shouldn't be underestimated. ;-)
Finally, we have Sassy Pants Polish Mermaid of the Ocean Blue, a bright sky blue with blue, silver and purple shimmers, glitters, and holo:

Coverage: 2 coats
Formula and application: Good; glitters spread evenly and well.
For this tail accent nail, I stamped with Hit The Bottle Polish Amythest Sizzle and Peacock Shimmer.
This mermaid is the queen of the lagoon--I see her sipping cocktails on the rocks that surround a crystal-clear waterfall pond. This captures the essence of summer vacations and clear summer skies. Love, love love.
So what do I think of the collection as a whole? I think it captures the sparkle and shimmer and magic of mermaids--the essence of the beauty of the sirens of the sea. It's romantic and flirty, happy and mystical and mysterious all at the same time. The colors play with ocean themes with enough variety for a range of moods, but enough cohesion for easy nail art combinations.
The collection launches June 9th, 2pm central standard time in the Sassy Pants Polish store. They'll be available in both full-sized and mini bottles ($12 and $8 respectively), with the entire collection for $75 full-sized or $51 mini.

Nice swatches of each of the colors. They do remind me of mermaids too.
