Duo-Duochrome: A Tutorial

  • Apply two duochrome polishes with similar tones (but different accents!) each to opposite sides of a square stamper pad.
  •  Using a long and thin striping brush, flick it back and forth, from one side to the other, using soft strokes.  You can chose to only flick part of the stamper, or the entire length.  The amount of your flick with vary the amount of blending the two polishes achieve.

  • Set it aside and let it dry about 15 to twenty minutes.  You don't want it to be wet, but you don't want it to be completely dry to the point it flakes.

  • Carefully peel it off from the stamper and apply it to your nail like you would the decals in my previous tutorials.

  • Tidy up, if required!

This is a fairly complicated look although it's very simple to make.  The effect is completely depended on the duochrome aspect of the polishes you picked and even more intense in varied lighting!
