This is Urban Outfitters Sea Dust. This is a dupe to Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream.
I had DL Mermaid's Dream on my wish list since it came on the market. I had it in my hands a few times when I was at Nordstroms but never pulled the trigger. When I found out there was a dupe a few weeks ago, I nearly fell off my chair. I immediately went on the Urban Outfitters website and it wasn't there:( I posted a message on one of my Facebook groups and an awesome fellow blogger Amy at Polish & Such said she was going that weekend and asked if I wanted her to pick it up for me. There was a 2 for $8 deal so I asked her to pick up "Dust" as well since that is a dupe to DL Today Was a Fairytale.
This is one of those polishes that looks so much better in real life. It was hard to capture on a photo - it was also rainy so the lighting was difficult to work with. I am really loving this polish though. It applied perfectly and it seems like it's going to be a long wearing polish because the coats are so thin, but opaque. I love how unique it is and I am so happy that I only had to pay $4! What a deal.
Wow it is gorgeous!!! I will have to pull this one out soon! Gotta love a good dupe! :)
ReplyDeleteYep, I love dupes:)
DeleteLove! The price is a lot more attractive too!
ReplyDeleteAgree...can't beat $4 for something that is normally $18!
DeleteWow, it is a great deal!!! Especially for a gorgeous polish like that!
ReplyDeleteI agree:)
DeleteThis looks so gorgeous! Huzzah for polish friends and killer deals. ;) This is my thing with DLs, though. There's a dupe for so many of her colors, unless you're a devotee of her line, why shell out?
ReplyDeleteExactly, it's hard for me to buy the original when there is a perfect dupe. Also, when I saw the DL's in person, the bottles are a lot smaller than I thought. I'm not sure if this is the same amount, just more glass - but it was hard to spend $18 on a tiny bottle.
DeleteThis is stunning and although I'm not fortunate to own the DL version, I have seen enough pics and this definitely looks like a dupe to me!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did some research and saw side-by-side comparisons and they look close enough to me:)
DeleteI just bought it today along with Lollipop! I heard Lollipop is a dupe of DL Candy Shop (also got Claire's Candy Shop dupe too!)
ReplyDeleteYep, I saw that one too. I have the Claire's one too so I decided not to get Lollipop:) You'll have to do a comparison!
DeleteMermaid's Dream is the ONLY pricey DL polish I have. Wish I had known about this amazing dupe before I got it!! It's so pretty!!
ReplyDeletethat has happened to me too. I grab the original and then a dupe appears. I have Chanel Peridot and now there are tons of dupes for that.
