Indigo Bananas ~ Anansi
Green/purple duochromatic
with shimmer
I really like duochromatic polishes, but my heart belongs to those that
work on their own. Or in other words: No underwear for my polishes! So I was
curious to see if Anansi was such a polish, or if she requires something
underneath her.
The formula is good. I had to work a little fast to avoid dragging when
I applied the first coat. I checked out how it looked after the second coat,
and I was almost satisfied, but not fully, so I went for a third coat. The
polish was fully opaque after coat number three, yay! Drying time is pretty
average.
I applied a layer of topcoat, and then I went out into the bathroom to
take my pictures. That’s the best place for me to catch the duochromatic effect
for some reason, haha!
So here you go, three coats, and one layer of topcoat:
How’s that for a colourshift? Nice, isn’t it just?!
I love the shimmer in Anansi too, it makes the polish really
spectacular!
Purple and green go really greatly together!
If I flip my fingers like this, the purple really show off:
Verdict:
I am a great lover of
duochromes, and polishes that can “do” something. I really like the
colourshift, so I am willing to forgive the three coats. If you want it to look
darker, you can easily layer it over black or a dark green. I like it better on
its own though.

really pretty duochrome! it's cool that this polish is opaque in 3 coats, quite good result ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, I love that in a polish. If it's special enough, then I don't mind three coats. Rather that than layer it :)
