A Polished Narcoleptic
Hello lovely readers! Here is another Indigo Bananas from the A Delos Holiday collection, "This World Belongs to Us". This multichrome also includes linear holo and those adorable holo flakes. The color range transitions through silver/green (Celadon?), teal blue, indigo, purple, and magenta at extreme angles. I generally saw teal blue and silver green. Personally I find this non seasonal, so that makes it quite versatile. ( As if I followed seasonal color trends, ha! ) For my art I used Julep Paula. Ring finger is a stencil from Whats Up Nails, others are done with a dotting tool. Lets get down to it!


  • 3 coats with topcoat, opaque at 2 but I wanted more depth.
  • Smooth easy to use formula, no pooling or dragging.
  • No staining, removes easily.

I have 2 more to show you but I suggest you do some browsing as Andrea often holds sales around holidays. ;)
You can purchase this directly from Indigo Bananas shop or browse a limited selection in her Etsy Store. They are also stocked by Femme Fatale Cosmetics in Australia. The full size retails for $12.00 and 8ml  mini is $7.25. I have personally purchased many half sizes and they have a very easy to use full size brush, I generally hate mini bottles. Thanks for stopping by and please let me know what you think in the comments.

The lovely Andrea of Indigo Bananas was so kind to offer me some polishes from her last collection, "A Delos Holiday" for review. Cue my squeal of delight, these are my first official press samples and I couldn't be more excited. I'm a long time fan of this brand and they don't receive the attention I feel they deserve. The first one I have to show you is Center of the Maze, a dark gold multichrome that shifts through olive and silver green green with a smattering of linear holo and holographic flakies. I'm not a big holo fan so this amount is the perfect touch and I love this rich royal gold. Accented with Julie G Eden, stamped with Bundle Monster BM-XL210.

  • 2 coats with topcoat, opaque at one but I wanted more color and depth. (Same with Eden, this is  really unusual for me as I have an aggressive nail line, home run!)
  • Easy to use formula, no running or dragging.
  • No staining or trouble removing, I wore this for at least 3 days.
  • Stamped with ease.

Howdy fellow green lovers!
Long time lemming squashed!!!!. This is a group custom from several years ago, before I found Smitten, now Dreamland. Some of her unicorn pee polishes were among my very first indie purchases.The eye popping unicorn pee shimmer shifts from yellow gold to an emerald green in most lighting. The red is there, I've seen it in bottle shots but as green cancels out red it's subtle.
This isn't currently available but if you want it keep your eyes peeled in destash groups and in the Smitten by Dreamland Fan group which I will link below.





  • 3 coats with topcoat. I have very opaque tips, 2 coats will be enough for some
  •  I had a few uneven spots but nothing noticeable. Most likely user error.
  •    Easy to use formula, not too thick or thin.
  • No problems with removal.
  • I doubled up on basecoat but still had slight yellow staining. (worth it!) I wore it for 3 days.

    Hey guys! I have been drooling over Mortal Coil since I first saw it several months ago,but alas, I chose to wait to get it within the U.S. from Color4Nails. It lives up to the hype and was well worth the wait. All I want to write is heart eyes emojis. Be warned, this post is very photo heavy and I'm not sorry. I've included a comparison to similar polishes I own but none are dead on dupes.

    Mortal Coil is a dusty denim blue base with color-shifting shimmer and holographic micro glitter that gives it dreamy night sky effect. Don't quote me on this but the shimmer looks like a certain mythical creature's excretions to me. Shifts from red,copper/orange,to green. Gorgeous multi-chrome like look. Onto the specs!

    • 2 coats with topcoat, easy even application and good coverage.
    • Easy to use formula, no pooling or pulling.
    • No trouble with removal, the glitters are very small.

    Daylight Photos:
     Bit blurry , but beautiful!


    Artificial daylight Bulb:



    For my comparison shots I used Native War Paints Broke-lyn on pointer, Lacquester Mortal Coil middle, Takko Boyfriend Jeans on ring finger, and lastly Illyrian Demogordon. Illyrian is 2 coats, others are 2, all with topcoat.

    Artificial Daylight bulb:

    You can purchase this polish from Lacquester, they ship internationally and have many other beautiful polishes to offer. It will also be restocked at Color4Nails soon. Join the Facebook fan groups for updates, sneak peeks, giveaways and fun! I'll link the websites and groups below. Thank you for reading and please let me know what you think in the comments .

    About me

    Hello lovely readers and thank you for visiting my fledgling blog!
    I found the indie community at a time my Narcolepsy was at its worst. Polish and makeup gave me something fun and low impact to do and pretty to look at. Pretty makes you feel a little better, ya know? Fast forward 3 years and I was frustrated with the lack of polish swatches available in various and natural light sources. I finally decided to try my hand at blogging and am dedicated to providing accurate swatches in as many light sources as possible. Additionally many indie brands do not provide makeup swatches on a persons face which I find very helpful. I currently post my makeup reviews and looks on Instagram but plan to start including them here too. I am not a writer, unless it's poetry so expect my posts to generally be to the point and full of photos. Oh yeah, about me. I am 26, coming up on my 6th wedding anniversary in a few months and am a fur mom to an adorable ferret who sleeps even more than me.
