Island Girl Nail Color: Island Paradise

I'm way behind in my nail swatch posts so here's another summer swatch although we're well into autumn down here!
 
Island Paradise from US brand Island Girl is a magenta purple cream and just so damn pretty without being cutesy. I was pretty much obsessed with it over summer so it made it onto my toes as well as fingertips and I look forward to wearing it again when spring comes around.  In terms of application this was average - in all fairness this is an inexpensive polish - and care is needed for even coverage.  Still the result is worth it for the colour alone! This is two coats with top coat.

This makes me dream of another trip to Hawaii...

Until next time!

    1. I can see this living in my collection for a long time because it's so eye catching and hard to find actually... and give me a great blue or purple anytime!

  3. Ooh, that is a fun color! It's one of the ones I have a bit of a hard time with, since I'm kind of olive in tone, but I love seeing it. Definitely a vibrant summer shade!

    1. It's definitely a happy colour - I think I'll take your lead and rock something really summery and loud when we hit the middle of winter down here!
