Hey Peeps! Today I have the last multichrome that Andrea from Indigo Bananas sent me to review, Great Beasts Once Roamed this World. I chose the color but still kind of accidentally left it for last as I'm not a big fan of red on my nails. I paired it with an upcoming Blush Lacquer shade, Colliding Constellations. I was lucky enough to have my suggestion chosen in a naming contest and Victoria sent it as a prize. The result is very nice in my opinion, I wore this mani for several days and my multichrome lovin Grandma complimented Great Beasts :). The red/orange/gold shift is perfect for Fall, just like a leaf that has changed color. I will be attempting some falling leaves art with this soon. I mostly saw red with a hint of orange on the edges unless in direct sun. Like all the others in the A Delos Holiday collection this contains some linear holo and tons of tiny silver flakes that add more depth and interest. The dots are Colliding Constellations and the stamping is Great Beasts. I tried to stamp with this polish a bunch of other times but it didn't show up on the bases I chose, they were too similar or dark. Image is from my rusty trusty Watermarble plate from Bundle Monster, BM-XL210.
- 3 coats with topcoat. Opaque at 2 but I wanted to see if the color would deepen. It didn't but did become more saturated once I applied topcoat. I don't have a photo to compare but I do have a short video that I will share on my Instagram. Both looks are nice.
- As usual for IB, very nice formula. Opaque and not too thick or thin.
- No problems with removal, basically like a cream or shimmer.
- Stamps like a champ!

Gotta love a regular polish that stamps! Have you tried stamping with multichromes before? They are not always opaque enough but when they are I love the effect. Will you be picking up either of these polishes? Let me know in the comments below. As always, thanks for reading and have a good weekend!

Hiya peeps! Whew, I am still behind from the 2 week migraine but getting there slowly but surely. You don't realize how much you aren't getting done when feeling bad. Boy it hit me today! I cleaned my 1040 sq ft house and it took 5 HOURS, and it wasn't even messy. I have eleventy more posts to write :/. Enough of that, look at pretty polish! This multichrome number is Where the Mountains Meet the Sea from last Winter's A Delos Holiday collection. The base is a very dark brown,almost black base with a touch of deep plum at the edges. The shimmer shifts through rust,olive,gold/copper, and deep inky ocean depths blue. These super pretty holographic flakies span the whole collection, along with a just a touch of linear holo. I stamped with Julep Aurora and Emily de Molly plate 27. All the circle plates are discontinued so if you like them I suggest snagging a few while they are left.
- 2 coats with topcoat
- Easy to apply and remove, not too thick or thin. Glitters are very small and do not effect removal.
- No staining, as usual I wore this for several days.

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.
Do you like multichrome polishes? I really am loving these flakes and I didn't have anything with such a deep base. Let me know in the comments below, thanks for reading!

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!

I have 2 more to show you but I suggest you do some browsing as Andrea often holds sales around holidays. ;)

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.

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.

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.
