Today's post features one of my favorite layering combinations EVER.
As you know, I love blurple. And with this blue glitter? Forget it.
This is OPI DS Fantasy, a deep blue glitter with multichrome glitter. And as you can see below (credit: lunatikitty.blogspot.com), it's a really pretty color. But it's missing a wow factor for me.

Same goes for OPI DS Royal (credit: all-you-desire.com), which takes numerous coats to build up and isn't a duochrome either.

But when I layered one coat of Royal over one coat of Fantasy...

Amazing. A beautiful grape color with vivid royal blue shimmer that blows most other purple glitters out of the water.
Now, it's still not a duochrome, but it has much more of a wow factor than Fantasy or Royal on their own.
If you've got both of these lovelies, then I say... what are you waiting for? Happy layering!
