2 coats. Not only an oldie but goodie, but also an oldie but goodie formula. Of course, not exactly manufactured yesterday, so it had evaporated a bit, but it was still manageable without thinning. No sun this day, which explains the less focused photos, but usually absence of sun doesn't matter when it comes to duochromes, because they photograph better in the shade.Some additional shots, because this polish deserves it.
It's a before tried, but winning concept: purple to green duochrome. What more can I ask for? Green and purple are perhaps my two favourite polish shades, add duochrome to that and you have a lacquer right up the alizarine alley. I'm not crazy about the finish, but I'd forgive a good duochrome anything.I first saw this particular one at Acetone and Old Lacquer, which is a great blog I think you should all check out, and the mere sight of it created such immense immediate lemmings that I had to open up a new tab in the browser for ebay - I scored. Within five minutes. This is the impact Bruno at Acetone and Old Lacquer has on you.
Swedish word of the day:
lösningsmedel -noun solvent
I like them too.
Very nice :)
ReplyDeletethat is gorgeous! i can't believe i've never seen this polish before!
ReplyDeleteI love it. It reminds me of Essence Where's the Party? or Zoya Ki. Duochromes are the best. And yes, Bruno has that effect on me too, my WL is still recovering from discovering of her blog.
ReplyDeletewow, I'll be adding another nail polish to my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteOmg, it looks just like Nubar Purple Beach!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
Beautiful!
ReplyDeletethat looks like Wet N Wild Gray Anatomy
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Not Like The Movies but without the glitter.
ReplyDeleteDuochromes are always lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love these duochrome mixes with purple and greens. I don't like them when there is a tish of red pulled into them however. This one was a classic and how fun you found you still have it. Keep it going with some good thinner and hang on to it!
ReplyDeletewow, just lovely, you have awesome nails!
ReplyDeleteGeneral response: many of you have associations with other, typical, purple and green duochromes. Just for the fun of it, I'll paint up a comparison wheel!
