I know I’ve been spotty at best lately but with having company all week & getting my new computer (with a whole new system to learn) I’ve been working behind the scenes. I’m trying to learn everything as fast as I can but it isn’t easy! After posting my Charlotte Russe haul with swatches I kept having the nagging suspicion….I’ve seen that last polish somewhere… We went to Beauty Brands this week & guess what I came across! Deborah Lippmann Mermaid’s Dream is a close dupe in the bottle at least.

Sorry about the meh bottle shots…people did not like me taking photos in the store one bit!

I don’t own this polish to compare but I can go by what I see in the bottle since this looks identical! Normally I wouldn’t do that but they had swatch bottles out & it was definitely dead on. Store lighting can be funky so if you have this polish I’d love a comparison! For $3 I’d say the Charlotte Russe Nail Polish in Light Mint (terrible name) one is quite the bargain! I knew I’d seen this beauty in passing! After looking up swatches online I’m feeling pretty confident you don’t need both. Upon further research Urban Outfitters had a dupe awhile back. Since Rue 21, Forever 21, & Claire’s often share formulas…maybe they do too?

What do you think, dupes to the naked eye? Do you own the Deborah Lippmann for comparison? I’d love to see it!
