Hey guys! Eeek! Monday! Yuck!
Today I have Indigo Bananas- Hot Ice Creams for Cold Days originally from the Willy Wonka collection (Paradise) to share with you! Another stunning shade I've swatched from the same collection is 2% Butterscotch Ripple, which also made my initial shortlist for top polishes of 2014!
Hot Ice Creams for Cold Days is a purple-leaning fuchsia jelly base with violet colorshifting shimmer, strong holographic shimmer, as well as sparser holo glitters.
Artificial light, two coats:
As you can see, the holographic effect is very strong with this one, and had no problem giving me lots of nice rainbows under even artificial light. Love!
Window-filtered direct daylight:
Outside, shade:
Even in the rare instance when the holo is not lighting up, there's a lot going on in this polish to keep your interest! Pretty!
Sun:
Up close:
Formula: It is slightly on the sheerer side with a medium-thinner consistency, but smooths over the nail surface well, and is nicely workable. The first coat wasn't streaky- just sheer, especially at the tips (but that's fairly normal for jelly bases). It dries down quickly, and is surprisingly opaque in two coats! Overall, super nice!
I highly suggest, that if you haven't tried this polish, you do! It's really a highlight among my entire indie collection. There, I said it! I can't wait to wear it again soon..

What do you think?
I love the concept of the larger glitters in a holo. Don't see this done often enough. Beautiful shots as always!
