My version of DL Mermaid's Dream - A Layering Experiment

After my swatching early I wondered whether I could actually re-create Deborah Lippmann's Mermaid's Dream using polishes I own. I don't have the real thing so I used photos as a guide. It's probably nothing like the real polish but my lemming has been squished for the time being.
L-R: H&M - Lady Luck, Sinful Colors - Hottie, Essence, S-he Stylezone - 471, Color Club - Perfect Molten
One coat of Lady Luck, then a coat of the glitters. After that sponge on the foils!
Do you have the real thing? What do you think of my version?

      Oh is that what the glittery Essence polish is called! I did wonder if it had a name ;-)
