Today our job was to share a metallic or duochrome polish. The choice was up to us. While my title has "metallic" in it, it's deceiving. Metallic Neptune is actually a duochrome polish, why metallic is in the title, is unknown to me. Duochromes are one of my favorite finishes, so that had to be my option for this week.
I received Metallic Neptune from the awesome Rachel at Polished Criminails who is from England. We did a swap months ago and this baby was in the package. It had been on my wish list and she decided to grab it for me. Thanks Rachel!!
Metallic Neptune is a gorgeous deep emerald green and purple duochrome, though from my pictures, you may wonder if I'm making that up. My camera was not working with me on these, so I was only able to capture the green :(. It made me sad, because in person, I could definitely see it. Anyhoo, the formula was great! It's a bit on the thick side, but very manageable. It dries very quickly and is opaque in two coats.
I used a new base coat that I found in Sally's, Growth Spurt, as my base, two coats of Metallic Neptune, and Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat.
