Deborah Lippman gears up for summer with new ultra shimmery collection, “The Mermaids.” Here’s what she had to say about it all:

“I found inspiration for my…lacquers from the beach this season! I wanted to create something that felt like a vacation no matter where you are; whether you’re away or just dreaming of it.

The vibrant blue and shimmering green shades evoke a peaceful, relaxing feel that reminds me of being seaside. To me, these colors express that easy, breezy and carefree feeling you would have on vacation, which I’m hoping you’ll channel every time you look at your nails.

I wanted to evolve from my signature glitters and develop something that was more universal and glamorous with a satin-like finish. The combination of shimmer and pearl used in Mermaid’s Dream is the perfect evolution, and the result is wearable and unique.

Deborah Lippmann’s “The Mermaids:

• Mermaid Eyes- seaside cerulean
• Mermaid’s Dream- seafoam splendor
• Mermaid’s Kiss- bubbling kiss
• Do The Mermaid- lavender lustre
• Million Dollar Mermaid- tangerine twinkle

Deborah Lippmann’s “The Mermaids” is available now at Nordstrom for $19 ea.

Essie is back with another collection  and it’s dedicated to Neon!

After hours, the hottest way to light up the night are these relentlessly bold and bright neons. Kick up your heels (and your toes!) in scorching color and hit the dance floor in style. Fresh, flattering florescent hues are perfect entrance-makers.
To make your neon manicure pop: use one layer of blanc under your essie neon shade.

• Bottle Service: Score the best table in the house, scope the scene and pour on the party this scorching neon fuchsia nail color. Cheers!
• Infectious Grooves. Killer backbeat. pump up the volume in the jam-miest neon plum nail polish that gets everyone on their feet.
• Shake your $$ maker: Light up the fashion scene in this electric green nail color and shake, strut and sashay your way up the ladder of $uccess.
• Saturday  Disco Fever: Your temperature is rising and the only cure is a night on the town and this superhot fire coral nail polish. Doctor’s orders.
• Boom Boom Room: Feel like dancing the night away in the hottest boîte in town? This ultrabright pink nail polish is your passport to party paradise. Boom!
• Bouncer, It’s Me:  Muscles, lists, velvet ropes? No problem. Gain entry and instant recognition in this intensely vivid blue nail polish that’s your ticket in.

I actually like this collections of brights- I wouldn’t exactly call them your traditional neon colors, which is a good thing and makes them more wearable for those who are not a fan that “high-lighter” look.

Essie DJ Play That Song Neon collection is available now at Nordstrom. $8 per each.

Don’t have a vacay booked? Bring the vacation to you with Essie’s “In The Cab-ana” Resort 2013  collection. Here’s what Essie had to say about the 4 piece collection:

Confidence is sexy. Essie’s homage to powerfully seductive women in impossible-to-miss brights is tailor-made to spark lust at first sight. This collection re-imagines sexy color in a way that is as unexpected as the modern woman herself.

• In The Cab-ana: In the car or at the beach, this self-assured aqua azure lacquer gives good nail – wherever the opportunity arises.
• Come Here!: Outrageously outspoken, this nearly neon coral nail polish makes it perfectly clear: nobody does it better.
• First Timer: Fresh. Fun. Fabulous. try something totally unexpected like this adorable newbie green nail lacquer and you’ll want to do it again and again.
• Under Where?: Sure, you can play innocent while in this wildly flirtatious orchid nail polish. He’s putty in your hands.
