MAYBELLINE PART 2 - THE DUO-CHROMES

Yes, the Maybelline Madness continues today! Today I am going to show you the duo-chromes that I picked up at the Dollar Tree. Even though some of the bottles show stickers from other places, these really did come from the DT. I guess DT didn't want to waste time trying to remove the stickers from the previous stores that had them.

I think these are all show stoppers! On all of these I did the first two fingers in just the nail polish and on the second two fingers I did a base coat of black nail polish. Over black is where I think these babies really score big points. I swear my nails looked like they were glowing! GLOWING, I say ladies! Doing these over black really brought out what ever duo-chrome color the nail polish flashed. I really tried to capture the awesome glowing factor in these and I did to a point, but nothing beats seeing these things in real life! Everyone I did, I said to myself, ohhhhh, that's the color I'm paint on my nails when I get done doing these swatches! :)

Enjoy - but be warned, this is another very pic heavy post!

This flashes a very strong purple/gold/green color. Pretty cool looking!

This has a strong blue/green flash! My nails were totally glowing at this point!

This one was one of my faves! It has a strong blue/purple flash to it, and of course more glowing action.

This is more subdued, but still really pretty. This has kind of a mauve copper shine to it. Not as glowy as the two above, but still pretty amazing over black.
