Indigo Bananas ~ Executive
Transvestite
Gold linear holographic
foil
It’s my first experience with Indigo Bananas although I have been
checking them out for a while. I just haven’t gotten round to actually buy any
of them yet.
The formula is good and coverage too: It covered in two easy coats.
Drying time is pretty good, no problems with that. When I looked at the bottle,
the polish just looks like a regular metallic gold. But this shining baby has
got so much more to offer. There are small gold flakies in it too, and… oh
yeah: It’s holographic! Did I tell you that I love holographic polishes? No?
Well… I love them a lot!
There’s no sun available here at the moment, so here’s a picture taken
with flash. Two coats, no topcoat:
I am usually more into silvery polishes than golden ones, but I must
admit that this is not bad at all.
I don’t know if it’s the little flakies that does the trick or if it’s
the holo flames, but pretty? Yes it is!
It surely knows how to produce a neat little rainbow here!
I figured that this polish would be fantastic for Christmas, and I’ve
learned that Christmas is about love, so I decided to freehand some hearts on
the pretty gold. I used Rapid Red from Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri line, and made
the hearts with a dotting tool.
I think gold and red go quite nicely together, don’t you?
Verdict:
I’m surprised over how much I like this, I always thought that golds
were going to be “meh” to me, but this one is definitely not! A gold holo. Who
would have thought?!

It's interesting how some polishes can change your mind about a color - Chanel made me truly lover a lot of shades I didn't really find interesting before LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the little hearts, so sweet :)
DeleteThank you. I have to practice more on my hearts - I want to be able to make them even smaller. :)
Deleteit's really pretty gold holo, it looks amazing on you! and this little heart make this mani more cute :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's nice when it turns out the way you want it, and gold and red are really good together! :)
DeleteThis is really pretty so I can only imagine how stunning it will look in the sun. Really love the heart nail art too :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope that we get to see the sun again in 4-5 months time, and then I'll be sure to dig this polish out of hibernation again :D
DeleteThat's so pretty! It's an unusual color for a holo (I don't think I've seen another quite like that), and I love it! Love the hearts you added too. :)

I don't think I've seen anything like it either, perhaps that's why it fascinates me so much :)
DeleteWhen I saw the gold polish I didn't expect that you'll upgrade it with hearts :). And I'm loving the result! Gold and red look really great together! :)
ReplyDeleteSince gold is new on my nails, I thought it needed something special, like hearts. I need to practice my freehand skills :)
DeleteI'm not usually a gold fan but this is gorgeous!
