So, I indeed managed to find Mermaid's Tears the day after I picked up the first three. It was at Ulta, and I stupidly didn't realize the B2G1 sale was still active on Sunday! Now I'm a little sad that I a) bought the first 3 on Saturday for a premium of $8 and b) that I missed out on getting Skull and Glossbones for *free* on Sunday. Oh well :/ This collection rocks, anyway. I need to get S&G somehow! ANYWAY, here's Sparrow Me the Drama and Mermaid's Tears. If you missed the other three (Steady As she Rose, Stranger Tides, Planks a Lot), I swatched them here. OPI Sparrow Me the Drama - A great midtone pink! Nice formula, but I still used 3 coats here. Comparison: OPI Sparrow Me the Drama and OPI Japanese Rose Garden - At the store, I thought it might be similar to OPI Japanese Rose Garden, but they are not really *that close*. I'm liking both of these shades now; I'm not sure why I was so anti-pink before! OPI Mermaid's Tears - Yay! Finally got this super lovely polish! I love it as much as I thought I would! Lovely formula on this one as well; 3 coats in the picture, but I think 2 coats was enough for real life. I don't have Orly Ancient Jade, which I've seen comparisons (and they are VERY close!), so you'll have to live with what I've got LOL: Comparison: OPI Mermaid's Tears and Essie Turquoise and Caicos - See, the OPI is *much* dustier! I don't even think I want a full size of T&C now... O_O Comparison: OPI Mermaid's Tears, Essie Turquoise and Caicos, Milani Dress Maker and Illamasqua Milf Anyway, I wore MT as a full mani yesterday, and tried CND Jade Sparkle over top before I took it off. Great combo! Hope you guys found these swatches useful! I knew I wanted the whole collection when the promo came out because I *love* dusty/greyed out polishes! :D
All of them are gorgeous both before and after.

De onderstaande foto herken je vast wel. Dat is een foto van mijn eigen natuurlijk lange nagels, een jaar geleden genomen. Toen waren mijn nagels nog lang en sterk van zichzelf.
