Hi!
This entry features Glitter Gal DuoChrome nail polish in the shade Contorted Mauve. On its own, it is a very sheer shade, and I think it is best to paint over a base color of your choice. I went for the safe route and painted black on my fingernails, which will show off perfectly the multi-color finish of Contorted Mauve.
Contorted Mauve has a mixture of predominately forest green and purple over black. I have tried it on its own (painted 2 coats) but I know that wouldn't do the color justice. Over the black polish, Contorted Mauve takes on a more interesting finish, it looks mainly forest green in my pictures, but you can see at some angles the polish also looks a rich metallic purple, and there is also slight golden sheen peeking through.
The formula on this is very smooth, and I applied two coats in the following swatches. I applied two thin coats, very steadily, to avoid any potential brush strokes.
If you are into dark mysterious color-changing shades, I think you will enjoy Glitter Gal's DuoChrome range of polishes. The fact that they are sheer on their own, simply means that this is a versatile shade which you can layer over a solid color, and make the nail polish more multi-dimensional and complex.
I received my Glitter Gal DuoChrome nail polish from Meimei's Signatures where you can make your purchase.
Five other bloggers will also be featuring the Glitter Gal DuoChrome nailpolishes, I will insert links here as I come across them.
Mabel from She Shops Makeup featured Distorted Platinum, here.
Meanwhile enjoy the swatches:
I used Orly Liquid Vinyl (2 coats).
Mainly forest green, but you can see purple peeking through.
The beautiful metallic finish of the polish.

I love how it looks green and purple at the same time...
Hope these swatches have been helpful, and thank you for looking!
