Swatch: Accesorize - Aztec Polish
This is primarily a purple duo chrome, which does need two or three coats in order to build up an opaque nail coverage.
I like this one, it seems to be a polish similar in colour to the oil on water effect you sometimes see.
The talented Helly managed to take some more colour accurate photos here, if your interested

Swatch: NYC - West Village 204B Polish
This is a crème finish nail polish, it has no shimmer to it despite it looking as it does with the flash. It is a deep dark blue, a true navy. What I like about this polish is while it is dark on the nail you can tell its navy rather than black.
Lasting Power: Average
Opacity: Three coats needed
