R&R is a green gold duochrome. The formula was good, but because it's a bit foil like you will have to be careful with your application to avoid too many brushstrokes. It will also show any flaws in your nails. I only needed 2 coats for full coverage over a base of Finger Paints base coat. I did not use top coat in these photos.

The duo-ness is much more evident in Rare & Radiant than Want My Bawdy. It's a good color, but very over done at this point. As I'm sure you know by now, or have guessed from my pictures, this is yet another dupe of Chanel Peridot. I don't have any on nail comparisons, but I do have a bottle shot comparison for you.
The color shift shows a bit more on the edges of the China Glaze bottle because it's a more rounded shape bottle, but if you look at the middle colors you can see they're the same. I didn't swatch Peridot for you because I wanted to return my bottle. The $26 price tag was a little more than I really wanted to pay and once so many dupes started showing up, I just couldn't justify keeping an unused bottle. By the way, if you've never shopped at Nordstrom's you should just for how easy returns are. I was extremely impressed with my experience, and I work retail.

Great job avoiding the brush strokes!
