I have a secret wish -- and that's to be a mermaid. I mean, really, I'd like to be some sort of unicorn/mermaid hybrid, but I've ALWAYS wanted to be a mermaid. Ever since I first saw the movie Splash back in the early 80s, I've wished to be just like Daryl Hannah in that movie! (Confession: I used to swim the way she did in that movie to try and be more mermaid-like.) And, of course, I was absolutely obsessed with The Little Mermaid and probably sang "Part Of Your World" about four hundred million times during junior high and high school -- and I actually performed it during a Disney revue in 8th grade. (The video of that is somewhere in my mom's house.)

So when I laid eyes on the Nails Inc. Self-Made Mermaid Nail Polish Duo, it's like my secret prayers had been answered!

The Nails Inc. Self-Made Mermaid Nail Polish Duo really does make me feel like a mermaid.

This nail polish duo contains two absolutely gorgeous blue nail polishes that really do make you feel like a mermaid. Right after I did my nails, one of my friends actually said to me, "Wow, your nails look like mermaid scales!" -- and she had no idea I had even used a mermaid-inspired nail polish duo! The two polishes that come in this duo are:

Ocean Ever After: a rich, glittery turquoise
Mermaid Parade: an opalescent blue pearl

I'm loving Oceans Ever After and Mermaid Parade -- these Nails Inc. colors are both so gorgeous!

I had to use both polishes at the same time, because I just couldn't imagine using only one. I went for an alternating manicure so each polish would get equal screen time. I have to say, I'm equally obsessed with both shades! They both apply perfectly in two coats -- no streaks or open spaces -- and they last FOREVER. I've been sporting this manicure for a week with no chips!

I'm always a fan of Nails Inc., and this duo is no exception. I mean, come on -- a manicure that makes you feel like a mermaid? What's not to love?
