Indigo Bananas ~ Electric
Unicorns
Lilac crème with green
shimmer
Electric Unicorns is described as a periwinkle blue (or a medium, blue
leaning lavender) creme packed with pale green duochrome glass flecks that also
shift a green blue, and a stronger blue at steeper angles. To me it’s
definitely more lilac than blue. And I might as well reveal it right away: The
unicorns were really difficult to photograph. They kept showing up blue on the
pictures, grr!!
Anyway, the formula is good, and so is the coverage. The first coat
seems patchy and weird, but the second coat acts like a princess, and evens
everything out and make it all look like in a fairy tale! Drying time is good,
and I love the shimmer in this polish!
Take a look, here’s two coats, and a layer of topcoat:
It is darker from some angles than from others. Here’s a lighter angle
view:
I love the green shimmer in this! Lilac and green, yes, that’s a great
pair too!
It’s funny to look at the pictures, some of them look as if I made an
ombre, but it’s the same polish all the way through, haha!
Check out the shimmer! I love it! Shiny and pretty, what more can I ask
for!!
I did some stamping on it. I stamped with Kiko Mirror Collection 625
Emerald, and used a motif from the XL stamping plate “O”. It didn’t turn out
quite as good as I had hoped for, but never mind. The green looks really cool
over the lilac in my opinion!
Verdict:
I’d almost call this a winner because of the name alone. I mean,
Electric Unicorns, that’s both cute and awesome. The lilac is a nice colour
(side note: I just wish it photographed better!) and I’m a total sucker for the
shimmer. No bad things to report about this beauty.
