Refined and Polished: China Glaze ~ Reggae to Riches

China Glaze Reggae to Riches

Hey dolls, the theme for the week in the nail fanatics forum was duochromes. I was actually surprised when I was going through my stash to see that I don't own many of these...but I did come across a beauty. China Glaze Reggae to Riches is a beautiful fuschia that flashes a light blue shimmer. The formula was super easy to work with and I had full opacity with 2 coats. This polish was so hard to photograph! I had to try all sorts of lighting to get the duochrome to appear. Its very apparent on the nails in real life though.

Inside, natural light...finally got the duochrome to show :)

slight hints of blue shimmer outdoors

This color is so GORGEOUS! I couldn't stop taking pictures of it. If I had a top 10 list of polishes, Reggae to Riches would be on it. You'll also notice that I cut my nails down. I didn't have any major breaks, but I had to file down my middle finger a few days ago...so the others looked a little weird still being so long. No worries though, my nails grow extremely fast.

How do you feel about duochromes???

I really like duochromes & I even have RTR, but I've never worn it. Maybe it's time to dig it out. :); July 23, 2011 at 7:44 AM

This makes a great toe shade for summer that does not go in and out of style as the years go by..for those who have loved OPI Pompeii Purple, RTR is a major amped up version with tons more purple duo shining back at you. I need to stash a few more bottle of this one now that I think of it.; July 23, 2011 at 10:00 AM
