Dark duochrome

The manicure I did last night is with a really cool duochrome polish, Essie For the Twill of It.  I used a base color of WnW Wild Shine Black Creme, and one coat of FTTOI.  I was really impressed with how opaque FTTOI was, even with just one coat.  Without a base color you'd probably need two coats, but one was fine here.

Duochromes are fun.  From a distance, it looks like a shiny dark steel gray.  Closer, when the light hits it one way it looks green...

And then when you change the angle, it shifts to purple...

And the whole range in between.

I really like this polish.
