Indigo Bananas Immortal Game (UPDATED!)

Gah.  I just love everything that Andrea from Indigo Bananas comes up with.  Truly I do.  She has some of the most gorgeous shifters on the market, and that's no lie.  If you don't have any, you should tooooooootally go grab some.  The shifts are always so vibrant in pretty much every lighting.  Tonight's polish is no different.  Let's take a look at Indigo Bananas Immortal Game.  Oh, and I hope you don't mind good ole Mr. Righty tonight...

Color: Light blue leaning teal base with large shifting glass flecks that shift from gold to pink, violet flakes, and a small amount of holographic glitter.


Finish: Chrome – a polish that shifts between colors depending on the angle you look at it.


Bottle / Brush: Square with curves – square bottle with a slight curve on the walls and a lip at the top.  Easy to hold.  The wand is a little on the longer side, but the cap and brush are average.  Average application.
Opacity: Medium – achieves opacity at four coats.


Glitter Application: Easy – Spreads evenly without much manipulation.  While Immortal Game doesn't have much actual glitter, per se, it does have the larger flakies and flecks, which were all easy to extract from the bottle and easy to apply. 
Consistency: Medium – applies easily and doesn’t flood the cuticles.


Overall Ease of Application: Medium – applies well with minimal pooling.  Spreads well without much manipulation.
Stampability: Not tested for stamping.
Dry Time: Medium – dry to the touch with minimal smudging in 3-8 minutes.


Overall Thoughts: Immortal Game is such a pretty polish.  The shift is so strong in any setting.  It is reminiscent of Rescue Beauty Lounge's Water Lily, but the shift is much stronger and the shifting pigment is much larger in size.  And also it's just prettier.  Don't throw things at me!!  Application was easy with some slight pooling on the cuticle and side walls.  Otherwise, it layered nicely without getting too thick.  The only problem I have is that the flecks and flakies sink over time.  This is easily remedied with a good shake and a flip upside down 20-30 minutes before use - enough time for the bubbles to settle.  Dry time is average.  I'd really love to try this polish over a couple of other colors.  Andrea recommends wearing it over pink to create a neutral grey with pink shift, which I think would be really pretty for fall.

OMG, I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT THIS PHOTO!!!  D'oh!  Anyway, here's Immortal Game in the lovely and romantic glow of my refrigerator.  ;)
