OPI Mermaid's Tears

Last week, I sullied the beautiful OPI Mermaid's Tears by using it in a truly awful excuse for nail art. So I thought I'd try to redeem Mermaid's Tears by showing off how cute it is on its own--minus my "artistry." ;) Mermaid's Tears is a grimey pastel green and one of my all-time favorite OPI cremes. Plus I think it has one of OPI's coolest names!


This is three coats of Mermaid's Tears. The formula is nice and smooth. This polish, along with its collection-mate Stranger Tides, was what started my love affair with grungy pastels. I think it's a total classic!

OPI Thanks A Windmillion! is similar, but not a dupe. It's darker and a little grimier. I haven't done an official comparison of the two, but I have used them side-by-side in an ombre manicure, so you can check that out HERE if you want to get an idea of how they differ.

What are some of your favorite pastel polishes?

  1. Mermaid's Tears is one of my favorites, too. And I love Peachy kean from China Glaze as a pastel polish.

    1. I love it! I think the awesome name has a lot to do with that, but it's a gorgeous color too, of course. :)
