Indigo Bananas: Low-key ♥

Happy Thursday! I have one more Indigo Bananas polish to show you and it is a lovely GREEN!  If you know me, you know I love green and that kicks into over-drive in March because of St. Paddy's Day! 

Low-key is a lovely olive green duochrome that shifts to a lighter gold/green and even a dark *almost* forest green, depending on the light. I really love this one and think it is my favorite out of all three of the Indigo Bananas that I have tried so far! I can see this being an awesome pedi color too!

Application was smooth and easy, I only needed 2 coats. No topcoat for the photos.

Indigo Bananas: Hermes ♥

Happy Friday everyone! I have another Indigo Bananas polish to show you tonight! 

Hermes is described by the maker as follows:

"Muse, sing of Hermes ... of many shifts, blandly cunning, a robber, a cattle driver, a bringer of dreams, a watcher by night, a thief at the gates, one who was soon to show forth wonderful deeds among the deathless gods." - Homeric Hymns 4

Hermes is a blue based duochrome with scattered holographic glitter, shifting a purple-blue and pink at steep angles. Opaque in three coats.

Base color: blue
Shifts: blue / purple / pink
Finish: duochrome foil with holographic glitter
Roughness: very slightly gritty
# coats: three solo (swatch), or one as top coat
Top Coat: recommended
Size: 15ml 
Vegan & cruelty free: yes
3-Free (formaldehyde, toluene, DBP free): yes


This one is super pretty and and had a great formula with absolutely no issues to report. The duochrome shifts from blue to purple - and I even saw teal! And the scattered holographic makes it extra special. 

I used three coats and one coat of Poshe for the topcoat. It does have a slight texture to it when dry but I actually preferred the texture alone vs. with topcoat. I have a lot of pics so let's get to them, shall we?

Indigo Bananas: Klein Trink Wasser ♥

I have a polish from a new-to-me indie brand to show you today! You may have seen the brand Indigo Bananas popping up on blogs recently - she seems to be hitting the scene with a bang, and I can completely understand why! I have 3 of her polishes to show you in the next few days and the first one is amazing!


Indigo Bananas - Hermes, Klein Trink Wasser, Low-key

Today I have Klein Trink Wasser to show you. Klein (as shortened by the maker) is an extremely vibrant, in-your-face blue and I love it! The formula was very easy to work with. I used 3 coats (as the maker states you will need) and it dries to a satin finish (think Illamasqua's rubber finish) that I quite enjoyed. Add top coat and it deepens the color even more. I really love this one and it is more vibrant than Nails Inc. Baker Street (I have a comparison photo at the end of this post).

This is what the maker had to say about Klein - 

Base color: blue, indigo in certain lights (klein blue)
Effects: ---
Finish: creme
Roughness: smooth
# coats: three solo
Top Coat: optional, but recommended
Size: 15ml 
Vegan & cruelty free: yes
3-Free (formaldehyde, toluene, DBP free): yes

First up, 3 coats with NO top coat...

What do you think of this one? I love it and I love the fact that I can wear it satin or shiny! Definitely one of my favorite blues out of my whole collection.
