Pretty, right! From left to right you have Metallic Mars, Metallic Venus, Metallic Mercury and Metallic Jupiter. I couldn't wait to try them all individually so I swatched them all on one hand. The Mars and Venus ones are the sheer type colours that need to be layered over another colour (darker colours seem to work best) so I applied two layers over black. Mercury and Jupiter are actually sparkly shimmers in a dark base, and these can be applied on their own.
Mars is a red toned pink, to purple to gold colour shift polish, Venus is blue to purple with the occasional bronze hue flashing into view. Mercury and Jupiter have a more subtle colour shift and are darker shades with a lovely sparkle. Mercury shifts from a dark pink to purple to gold, and Jupiter dark blue to dark purple. To my eye Mercury and Jupiter look like they are the darker glittery versions of the first two, but with such a different look that they totally warrant buying all four.
For my pics I applied two coats each of Mars and Venus over a black creme base, and three coats of Mercury and Jupiter without any 'underwear'. The formula was actually quite good, it felt maybe a little thin but not really a problem, and it dried pretty quickly. The brushes were quite nice too, providing even coverage, and these did feel like they should have cost more than the measly £1.95 (including postage!) I paid for each of them. I am posting two pics which illustrate the colour shift in these, please forgive the sloppy application but I was so excited to try these out and show you all! Bargain duochromes, yes please! If you would like to buy some I don't know about my international readers (sorry!) but for the UK readers I bought mine from Nail Polish Direct where I have ordered lots of times now and always had good service, and they have pretty good prices on their polishes. Can I just say I am not affiliated with them in any way, I just like their shop!
Right then, lets get on with it, and take a look at the pics. With all the buzz going round at the moment about duochromes will you be buying these? I think I discovered some little gems personally, I hope you think so too :)

play bazaar A lot of people have strange ideas about what these doctors do.
Agitate and upset your rival's play. All effective ball players do this. Concentrate on getting them out of the safe place. Execute your moves with hostility. Never let them control the game plays. Your rival will accept any open door to give you the go around. Make your moves first and end their examples.

Legitimate point is vital when attempting to make containers. In a perfect world, you should focus on the little square found on the backboard. Doing this builds your odds of the ball really going down the bin. Abstain from attempting to focus on the following; you are more averse to be fruitful while doing as such.
