It's taken me a while to jump on the indie bandwagon, but I can see why people are totally addicted! I've been dragging my feet because of the higher cost per bottle and shipping associated with buying indies, but damn, there are some extra special shinies I've been missing out on. This is Birefringence from ILNP. I had no idea what birefriengence even meant before I got this polish. Turns out it's "the optical property of a material having a refractive index that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light" according to wikipedia. That's a pretty fancy way to explain why multichromes appear to be two different colors at once. I love how painting my nails occasionally makes me smarter.
Birefringence is a beautiful indigo to violet multichrome. The pictures below are taken at different angles to show the color shift.
Are you curious yet what the twist is? I painted the under side of my nails neon yellow for a fun surprise. The yellow polish is by Kelly and doesn't have a name. I love the contrast between the purple on top and the bright yellow underneath. This might just be one of my top 10 favorite manicures of all time.
How do you feel about this trend of painting the under side of the nail? It's a total pain to do, but I love the way it looks.
