Indigo Bananas A Delos Holiday

Hello everyone, sorry it's been awhile, but today I have a gorgeous newer collection of beautiful holo multichrome polishes to share with you.

This is the Indigo Bananas A Delos Holiday, inspired by the HBO hit Westworld. I don't know if you've seen Westworld, but I really loved it. Took several episodes to get into it, but man, it's super good until the end.

Anyway, multichromes are really having a moment in the indie world and let me just say, these beautiful polishes do not disappoint! Best news of all, these polishes are available now, no waiting for a release. They are available in 15ml bottles for $12 or 8ml bottles for $7.25.

I'll talk about formula here, since the formula was pretty much the same for these all across the board. These were all two coaters with a medium viscosity that was easy to work with.

Let's get to the swatches shall we?!

This is Indigo Bananas This World Belongs to Us. This is a gorgeous bright green multichrome that shifts from blue and then also has this pinkish purple shimmer, which I was able to catch in the last photo. This is so unique and when that pinkish shimmer shone through, it reminded me slightly of a watermelon.

This is Indigo Bananas Where the Mountains Meet the Sea. Another unique stunner, and my favorite from the whole collection, this is a multichrome holo that shifts from dark purple brown (almost mulberry) to red brown to gold to green. This shift in this one is great and unlike anything in my collection.

This is Indigo Bananas They Became Music. This is a gorgeous plum purple that shifts to a beautiful warmer magenta purple and also shifts from red to gold (which I was unable to capture in a photo sorry).

This is Indigo Bananas Great Beasts Once Roamed This World. I love shades of red like this, this is a gorgeous multichrome holo that shifts from red to red orange and has a gorgeous fire-like glow.

This is Indigo Bananas Nature of Your Reality. This is a gorgeous teal green to blue to almost purple shifter. I love cooler color shifters like this, really reminds me of a winter sky.

This is Indigo Bananas What Dreams May Come. This is a lovely indigo midnight blue that shifts to a royal purple to reddish purple to gold. I was only able to capture the blue to purple shift, but the swatches on the Indigo Bananas site show just how shifty this gorgeous polish can be!

This is Indigo Bananas These Violet Delights Have Violet Ends. Ohhhh boy this is another of my favorites, this shift in this one is STRONG! This shifts from a beautiful fuchsia to to purple/indigo. Loooovely and unique.

This is Indigo Bananas Center of the Maze. This is a lovely green to gold multichrome and is a color I just absolutely love. It's not quite an ugly green, but the golden glow of it makes it unique to me and something worth having. Green is very in this year too, according to Pantone. ;-)

And last but not least we have Indigo Bananas Beauty in the World. This is a gorgeous light blue to purple to warmer purple. Another gorgeous night sky or galaxy in this one for sure!

That was a lot of polish for one post! I hope it wasn't too overwhelming. This collection is lovely and one thing I love about Indigo Bananas is that it is a great brand to try out because they also offer minis, which in a super large collection like mine, I really appreciate the space savings.

So let me know which ones are your favorite?!?

Dreamland Lacquer Valentine Power Ballads Collection

Hey everyone!!! Sorry I haven't been updating my blog as much, exciting things are happening for me on a personal level and I promise I will reveal it all soon!

Today I have this beautiful 4-piece Valentine's Day Collection from Dreamland Lacquer to share with you and these polishes are super beautiful! These four polishes will release for preorder Saturday January 21 at 2 p.m. central time for a 48-hour window. I'll have more details at the end of the post, but let's take a look at the pretty swatches!!!

This is Dreamland Lacquer Is This Love? and it just beautiful. This is a white crelly polish with holo microglitters and color shifting iridescent microglitter. Those color shifting iridescent glitters are super in right now but I haven't quite seen this combination yet and it is just stunning. I really love this one. The formula on this one was a little thick, but nothing unmanageable – just apply thin coats. Since it is a white crelly, I used three coats for opacity.

Next up is Dreamland Lacquer Alone. This is a deep burgundy jelly polish with holo microglitter and those same beautiful color shifting iridescent microglitter. I love that this is both vampy and delicate at the same time. I love those color shifting glitters, they just add a whole new dimension to this polish. Since this had a darker base, I only needed two coats for opacity. These glitters tend to be a little hungrier than the usual Dreamland Lacquer microglitters, so you might need an extra coat of top coat for ultimate smoothness.

This is Dreamland Lacquer Everything I Do and it is just an amazing microglitter. No one does microglitters quite like Dreamland, and this one does not disappoint. A beautiful bright pink jelly polish packed with holo microglitters – this polish will make everyone happy all year round. Opaque in two easy coats, I wore this for few days and there is just something so happy about a bright pink.

Last but definitely not least this is Dreamland Lacquer The Search is Over. And you guys, the search really is over, this is the ultimate perfect purple polish! This is a warm purple jelly polish with unicorn pee pigment that gives it the most beautiful pink glow. And even though it's a jelly, this beauty was opaque in TWO coats. And it is just so amazingly beautiful. Who doesn't love unicorn pee?

Also, with this release, Dreamland will be bringing back some former popular shades.

Noelie will be bringing back, from left, Date Night, Monkey Monkey Underpants and Burnt Jam in Vermont. 

Once again these four beautiful polishes will be available for preorder Saturday January 21 at 2 p.m. central time for a 48-hour window at the Dreamland Lacquer site. Turn around time will be approximately two weeks, depending on volume of orders. Updates will be posted on the Dreamland Facebook page if orders will take more than two weeks.

For the initial preorder each polish is $10.00. They will be $11.00 each when they are added to the store as normal inventory. The full set will be $38.00, so an extra $0.50 savings per color for ordering the set. 

So which ones are your favorite? I'm really digging Is This Love?!!!
