Indigo Bananas most recent release was the multichrome magnetics inspired by Carl Sagan's Cosmos series & a red/pink & purple duo. These are all available
on the website, along with some really cool magnet wands! I show the duo first, and then the big rainbow of magnetics.
Fix Your Heart is a polish inspired by a quote. “When you became Denise, I told all of your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die.” - Deputy Director Gordon Cole (David Lynch) in Twin Peaks.
Described as a purple polish with violet-gold Aurora shimmer
The Fire Will Not Consume Us - Red w/ Pink to Gold Aurora shimmer. Inspired by an episode of the Weird Little Guys podcast.
Cosmos Collection
Inspired by Carl's Sagan's science series, "Cosmos" is a set of seven double rainbow magnetic multichrome polishes - high coverage in 1 thick / 2 thin coats! Double rainbow (two lines) in some lights using some magnets. A small sprinkling of reflective glitter, most apparent when magnetized, as a background "star stuff" effect. I used a horseshoe magnet to achieve a velvet look for all of my swatches and well, hindsight is 20/20 right? I kind of wish I had used a zig-zag or cat eye magnet to show off the LRG more. Sorry about that, but it can be seen in the bottles, at least!
Greatest of Mysteries - Red/Magenta Magnetic Multichrome & Reflective Glittter
"The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries." - Carl Sagan
Martian Dust Storms - Orange/Red Magnetic Multichrome & Reflective Glittter
"The wave of darkening in the Martian springtime, which some say may have a biological explanation, can be explained in terms of windblown dust." - Carl Sagan
The discovery that Martian dust storms were responsible for the darkness and climate changes on Mars was the basis of one of Carl Sagan's earliest scientific papers:
Carl Sagan on What Life Would be Like on Mars: https://www.popsci.com/article/technology/carl-sagan-what-life-mars-would-be/
"Exactly the same technology can be used for good and for evil. It is as if there were a God who said to us, “I set before you two ways: You can use your technology to destroy yourselves or to carry you to the planets and the stars. It's up to you.” - Carl Sagan
We Are Star Stuff - Gold Magnetic Multichrome & Reflective Glittter
"The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself." - Carl Sagan
Immensity & Eternity - Green Magnetic Multichrome & Reflective Glittter
"The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise." - Carl Sagan
Shore Of The Cosmic Ocean - Teal/Blue-Green Magnetic Multichrome & Reflective Glittter
"The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. On this shore, we've learned most of what we know. Recently, we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle-deep, and the water seems inviting. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan
Voyage Through Time - Blue Magnetic Multichrome & Reflective Glittter
"One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time." - Carl Sagan
Galaxy Rise - Purple/Violet Magnetic Multichrome & Reflective Glittter
“A still more glorious dawn awaits. Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise. A morning filled with 400 billion suns. The rising of the milky way” - Carl Sagan
All of my swatches are shown in two thick coats with topcoat and had no formula issues unless otherwise stated. All photography uses a neutral color temperature bulb and white background with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements and no blurring/cream base, I have a fairly prominent VNL.
