I broke down and went to order the Distress Oxide of Saltwater Taffy, and was pleasantly surprised to find
Stampers Anonymous had free shipping today, with no minimum purchase. One Saltwater Taffy on its way to me! Now I am thinking I should have gotten Mermaid Lagoon too...lol
There wasn't a code, it just said "free ship no minimum" and did not add shipping to my order. (edited to add at the top it says you need 75.00 for free ship, but the ad that is running says "free ship no minimum")

You should get Mermaid Lagoon, it is so pretty!
I just got all of my ink pads labeled and organized in their new home. I only have room for 3 more since I picked up 2 on Tuesday. Well, unless I rearrange my little shelf area. I pretty much have all of the colors covered.
I need to look at my list of colors and see if there are any that really need to come home to me. Do I need picket fence? I don't have that color. I am having a hard time figuring out how it would look stamped and I suppose I could use it with embossing powder.

To me the Mermaid is a brighter color. The Salty Ocean has just a bit of a deeper touch to it. It is very close though. I have an out of town doctors appt this afternoon and will try to do a side by side stamp this evening under my Ott light. I'll try to post a pic. It may not be enough of a difference to warrant a different pad though. Especially if there is another color you are wanting.

I went digging and found this clip from TH from when Mermaid Lagoon was released, and I think he does explain it, and it sounds like what you are saying. I don't know why I am so on the fence. Thank you!

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Thank you! Just to add on I have both and they do look different. I find that the way Oxides work the color intensities and the somewhat dull cast when hey are fully dry have an impact on color differences that (maybe) wouldn't be as apparent in regular Distress inks. I hope that makes sense.
