Swatch: Mermaid Tears Models Own Splash Collection

Fourth post today! Penultimate Splash swatch... sort of. I have one more full swatch (of Aqua Splash) to come, but then I'll do a round-up post after that too.  This one is Mermaid Tears - what looks like a purple flakey.  In the bottle it's a gorgeously translucent purple with blue flakes... but on the nail it's rather different and hasn't got nearly as much of the pigmentation that it does in the bottle.  Formula is the same as all the others.

Again I put it over various colours - which I've labelled on the photos below. On all but the naked nails I used two coats of Mermaid Tears.  The neon purple was Models Own Pukka Purple, naked was nothing on my nail, white was Models Own Snow White, black was Models Own Black Magic, baby purple was Models Own Grape Juice.

Once again I think this one looks best over the black polish, but I also love it over the neon purple.  It definitely doesn't look great on its own (in my opinion!)
