Another from the Tronica collection is Laser Lime - a lime green holographic. Again, I didn't use a top or base coat but here is 3 coats of polish.
Here it is in the sun - the holographic is kinda hidden in this polish - which is interested because you can normally see it with the other Tronicas.
Here it is in the shade:
Again - nothing much to write home to... I've seen a few blogs that used this as an accent color which looks pretty awesome but all alone - kinda boring. :[

As I was swatching, I was wondering how these two duochromes stacked up against each other, so here's a small comparison post for you!
I tried both of these without a base or top coat.
In the shade:
As you can see, Mash Up is more opaque and has more of a green shimmer whereas Wicked Game is more sheer and has a purple hue.
Tada!

I have been lemming this color for a long time - mostly because the promo bottles always look so beautiful! This is an iridescent swirling lavender grey - very duochromey.
I used a base of Seche Natural, and 3 coats of Wicked Game for my index and middle fingers. On my ring and pinkie, I first added a coat of CND Blackjack, then 2 coats of Wicked Game. I did not use a top coat. I also had no sun... So depending on what angle the "light" (hah) hit, you'd see green or purple.
I definitely like it better over black - just because it shows up a little better on the nail. I'm seriously into the whole CND Blackjack - a LOT. I also really like duochromes.
