Indigo Bananas Holo Chrome Flakies

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  Today I have some fabulous-ness from Indigo Bananas.  These are not just chrome flakies that everyone has been obsessing over, but there's added holo too!  I reviewed one about a month ago and I just had to have Accretian Disk (holo).  In my order Andrea kindly shipped over the two new additions and I'm (still) obsessed!

This post will be heavy on the pictures, so read on after the jump!

Dance Legend Knight

Hey everyone!  Today I have one of the first Dance Legends I've purchased.  It definitely wont be the last!

Knight is a multichrome that shifts from a deep gold to green to a bluish purple color.  This is the only multichrome I've come across that has this bluish color in the shift.  It really is stunning.  I apologize in advance for all the pictures, but I couldn't help it!

Application on this was really easy.  It doesn't need to be layered, although I'd like to try it over black.  I will say that it chipped really fast and some of it peeled off in sheets.  This may be attributed to me washing my hair though, so there's that.  The photos below are shown in both artificial and natural (overcast) light.  I find that multichromes always look very "shifty" in cloudy weather.

This is 2 coats.
