Mermaids are watery, mythical creatures that have captured human imagination for centuries.

They are often depicted in blue, silver and blue-green hues. 

They are usually shown covered in head-to-tail luminous light halos, glitter or both.

If you’re looking for a nail polish with mermaid vibes, below we’ve rounded up some of the best mermaid-inspired nail colors we’ve found to date.

L.A. Colors Fairy Tale IRL

Shown in three coats, Fairy Tale IRL CNL586 is a sheer, shimmery opalescent aqua-blue with a purple flare. When on the nail, it looks quite different from the formula in the bottle - where it looks more like a light aquamarine.

This color is no longer available. A similar shade you might like is L.A. Colors Comet.
