Indigo Bananas Mega Chrome Flakies (Partial) Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review 
Happy Friday! I have some more Indigo Bananas to share with you today, this time I have five of her fifteen Mega Chrome Flakies collection. These are all metallic mega chrome flakies, so they will not have that translucent appearance like the ones in the Mythic Holiday Collection. Instead, you get clear based polishes packed with these amazing color-shifting metallic flakes. Fifteen polishes is a hearty collection number so if you wanted a line up photo for comparison, click here

These five polishes were so easy to apply! You can build to opaque coverage if you prefer to, but you will need at least four coats. And while I usually like to do just that, with the Mega Chrome Flakies, you will get a better visual effect with layering them, which is how I decided to showcase them. And I have found that if you layer over a pale or lighter base color, you will see the color-shifting effect more clearly than layered over black or another dark color. For each of the polishes shown here, I applied one coat over a base color and then one coat of top coat. 

You can purchase any of the polishes posted today, along with the other ten polishes in the Mega Chromes Flakies collection in Indigo Bananas' shop right now in both mini and full size.
