Based on "Kein Trink Wasser" (Orbital, 'Don't Drink the Water) but... as Klein blue instead.
Very very hyper blue color - can go from dark blue indoors, to near-neon violet tinged blue in bright lights or certain angles. Thin consistency creme polish, 2-3 coats, handmade from a pigment mix.
Compared to YSL Bleu Majorelle/Nails Inc Baker Street, this polish is ~20% darker, and more vibrant in blue color, but it is the same color family.
This is a completely handmade creme, and there may be tiny amounts of sediment on the bottom over time and possibly a very small amount of liquid on top. The polish itself should be smooth, albeit semi matte. Any smell of sulfur is completely normal, and usually fades over time - it is the scent of the pigments used.
*Please shake well before use; it is very usable without shaking, but a slight shake mixes it up to an even bottle color.*

Indigo Bananas brand polishes are handmade from suspension base, thinner & related solvents, pure pigments, effect micas & flakes, and glitter. Polishes are made in batches, with weighed colorants and measured liquids, and batches are compared to previous testers. All finished polish colors have been tested for at least a month, with most having been under development for 3months+. Since this is a handmade product, there's a possibility that there will be slight batch variations, but I do my best to minimize them, both in appearance and performance.
Please shake before use, as the base used tends to 'gel' up, but should thin to a good consistency with a small amount of agitation. Please allow dry time between each coat of polish. Usage of a base coat & top coat is HIGHLY recommended to increase wear of all nail polish. I recommend using 3-Free top coats & base coat - and especially avoiding DBP (dibutyl phthalate, which disrupts hormone function), in all nail polish products.
The easiest way to remove glitter nail polish is to: soak a cotton pad in polish remover (or acetone), place it on your nail, wrap a piece of aluminum foil around your finger, wait 10 minutes, press and slide off the pad in one swipe (look up "glitter foil removal method" on youtube for some great videos). Please wipe cap off after use to prevent build up of polish. Polish can be thinned with nail polish thinner (ethyl/butyl acetate based, not acetone) if it is too thick or thickens up over time, with use.
Do not use near an open flame, while smoking, or while breathing fire or doing similar stunts sometimes seen done by street performers. Not to be used to put out cigarettes. Store in a cool, dark location. Use in a well ventilated area when applying nail polish, and do not use as an inhalant. For external use only.
