Indigo Bananas Holo Multi Chrome Flakies Pt. 2

Hello everyone! I'm back with another comparison post of five of the lovely Indigo Bananas Holo Multi Chrome Flakies.

Today I've picked the green and blue shifting flakies of the bunch. These are completely the colors I am most drawn to! If you are curious about the warmer/pinker shades in the bunch, make sure you check out Pt. 1 of my Holo Multi Chrome Flakies Review! And stay tuned for side by side comparisons at the end of this post.

I've once again lumped the formula portion of this post all together, because the formula on all the Indigo Bananas Holo Mega Chrome Flakies is the same. They all apply opaque in three coats, no sponging required. I would wait at least 1 minute between coats (basically while you do your other hand) so that you don't drag the flakies down. I love the formula on these, it is the perfect mix of holo pigment and multi-chrome flakies. The flakies also lay flat on the nail and are not difficult to remove at all.

For the post I've included three different views per polish: one in direct light, one in indirect light and one macro. These are also shown sans top coat, so sorry these aren't super shiny and if a flakie looks a little textured, it's only because I haven't glossed over it with top coat. Typically it wouldn't look that way. Let's get started!

This is Indigo Bananas Watercolor Memories Holo. This has green and pink shifting flakies, and as you can tell in the macro there is a slight blue shift to it as well. This polish is a stunner and it shows both green and pink in direct light. This is a flakie combo I have not seen before and I do say this is a must have!

This is Indigo Bananas A Greener World Holo and my does this one really take my breath away. Green lovers, this has a bit of every hue of green in it. From gold to light green to darker green to teal. In direct light it looks mostly green, but in indirect light and especially in the macro shot you can see just how complex and deep the hues of green go!

This is Indigo Bananas A Field Trip With Butterflies Holo and for the green lovers, it too is an amazing flakie shifter. It shifts a tad less yellow to light green, and more bright green to teal to blue. You definitely feel the blue/teal tones stronger in this shift than in A Greener World.

This is Indigo Bananas Nautilis Holo, and as you can tell now, are moving more toward the blue shifting flakies. This shift is just a hint of green then it goes from teal to blue to just a hint of violet. For the blue/teal lovers, this is a stunner!

And finally we have Indigo Bananas Hyperborea Holo. This polish is mostly blue, but shifts from teal to blue to violet. I found this to be the least shifty of these five polishes in the bunch, but still quite beautiful! The violet does show up even stronger in direct light.

Now these polish can be worn opaque, like I've shown above but also as a topper, so I decided to do a side by side comparison of the polishes as a topper and then side-by-side comparison of them opaque.

Side by side you can really see their shifts a little more clearly – I like how side by side they clearly start to look a bit rainbow/ombre-esque!
