Duochrome Week: Day 5- Love & Beauty Blue/Green

As the first Duochrome Week comes to an end, we part with a recently reviewed polish: Love & Beauty's Blue/Green. I want to rename this so badly, but I can't think of a well-fitting name. But anyways, this polish really surprised me. I kinda used it as a last resort, but I am so so glad that I did.

Duochrome Week: Day 4-China Glaze Awakening

This polish has popped up here before. Not too long ago, really. I used it in my Violet day for the 31 Day Challenge, and it took on a whole different look then than it does now. It's a versatile polish that I am happy to show today, this time over a gold base instead of black. Here is China Glaze's Awakening.

Duochrome Week: Day 3- Essie Shine of the Times & China Glaze Smoke and Ashes

I'm not actually entirely sure if either of these polishes counts as a duochrome. You see, I originally planned on using Smoke and Ashes because it looks like it has duochrome shimmer in the bottle... but on the nail, it just falls flat. And I'm pretty sure Shine of the Times is a holo flakie buuuuut just in the context of this post, we're going to say that these both classify under the theme of changing to at least two different colors at some angle. Alright?

Duochrome Week: Day 2-Paying With Platinum

So I'm behind a day, but it's alright you know, I can catch up tomorrow. Just.. try not to expect too much promptness. But back to Duochrome Week! Today I have a polish that I've had for forever, but haven't tried because for some reason I thought that it wasn't going to look as good on the nail as it did in bottle. I don't know why I thought that, but for the longest time I did. And I regret that. Because it is amazing.

Duochrome Week! Day 1: China Glaze, Reggae to Riches

I have some very exciting news. As of this day, the third week of September, it is officially Duochrome Week. Why? Because duochromes are awesome and deserve their own week. It'll go from today (Monday) until Friday, featuring a different duochrome (obviously) each day. Should be fun!

We start off this marvelous week with a polish that my mom bought, actually. I've wanted to try it out for a while, but it's not a shade I really am fond of wearing. But I'd hear such excellent reviews of it, I just had to try it (and coincidentally, it's the polish that inspired Duochrome Week).
