Indigo Bananas again!



Got 3 more of the kick ass indie brand Indigo Bananas. There just blow my mind and are so unique and kool.

And with that said, very hard to capture on photo. Grrr.
It is what it is, addicts! But trust me, these really do need a place in your collection.
Will post the first two now.

First one is  Rez,  it's a grey & black glitter, purple duochrome base. It's a stunner. Looks like granit indoors but flashes green and lillac when light hits it. In the sun or in direct light this has the most amazing duochrome green and lillac....and the texture almost makes me want to call it a textured polish. This is badass with no top coat too. I did use one coat of HK but that didnt do it any favours, so I used my normal SV on top. Gives it a 3D-effect really. Applies lovely, go in with a thik first coat, let dry and then a medium second coat. Thats all you need for total coverage. So flipping kool!
Shitty bottle shoot. Deal.

See how it shifts? Gah.

The silver glitter makes it so galaxy like.

Strong green shift.

Next is  Enchante - red & black jelly - this GLOWS blue in the dark! I had forgotten that this is a glow in the dark polish until I did this post actually. Cant wait to go to bed now. Hah. This is a very bright red jelly with black glitter. I used 3 coats in the pics and that is more than enough. The black glitter gives it some depth too. So squishy and fun! Like a strawberry smoothy or jam. The glitter applies perfect, no dabbing needed really. Give it a little time before the second coat. I am really loving this one.
Squishy!

I know you just want to bite my fingers, they look so jummy. o_O

Super kool in your face red.

You can get your hands on these via Indigo Bananas and they cost $6 for small and $10 for full size bottle.
Check her out over at Facebook. She is super nice and her customer service is outstanding.

Indigo Bananas - You Get Nothing!




Another kick ass creation from Indigo Bananas.
You Get Nothing! is a dark, stone grey linear holo, with blue & dark red glitter. This looks kool in the bottle but freaking amazing on the nails.

You Get Nothing! is a dream to apply, smooth, evens out nicely and no need for fishing. 2-3 coats is needed depending on your preference. I have 3 on for the pics. I did use Seche Vite as top coat and can't see any dulling of the holo effect.
Truly unique.

Been wearing this for 3 days and only have slight tip wear. Wear time is great.
When applying this, do think coats and wait a little between them to let the glitter set. I added one coat of SV and I can't feel any texture.
Blurry to show off holo goodness.

I really cant rave enough about this brand. If I had to compare her polishes it would have to be Nerd Lacquer. This brand has some of that same unusual color combinations and interesting design ideas.
I really see Indigo Bananas being a bright star on the indie heaven. Hopefully she won't be torn down by all the catty psychos in this community. It's nail polish girls. Chillpill!

You Get Nothing! the mini contains 8ml and costs 68 nok. they are all 3free Shipping is 40,- for the first polish and then 10,- for the added ones after that.
So kool.

Indigo Bananas - Joy Forever.



Indigo Bananas was for me an unknown indie until the evil girls over at PAA Scandinavia lured me into checking out the brand.

I ordered 3 mini bottles and they are a really good size at 8ml, vegan and 3free.

First one I will show you is Joy Forever.
A really kool looking emerald green linear holo with intense red glitter.
I recommend two think coats, let the first dry a little before adding a second coat. This needs a top coat to come alive as it dries semi mat/dull. With top coat the holo really is intense and the emerald green is so vibrant. With the red, almost flame like glitter, it's a very atmospheric polish!

This is a two coater, the brush is nice to work with, the polish it self layers nicely and there is no need for fishing red glitter. I LOVE polish with contrasting colored glitter so this is so me.

And a word about the customer service: Outstanding. She shipped the same day, just like half an hour after I ordered, and it took maybe a week to get the polishes. She is übernice via mail and I do recommend the brand to everyone.


1 mini 8ml costs 46 nok, 40nok shipping for the first bottle and 10nok for the second. For 3 I paid 180 nok with shipping.  Buy via her Etsy.

Polish pr0n!
Just look at that red!
