Aaaand I'm back again, had a throat infection, bleh! (On the bright side, it did give me an excuse to nomnom icecream ^^) Being sick obviously didn't make me feel like polishing, and to make my polish mood drop even further, a corner of my indexfinger nail chipped off completely - again. Ugh, getting slightly tired of that! It's one of those nails that always chips off on the same spot, no rescue possible. If anyone has suggestions how to deal with a couple of stubborn chippy nails, I'd love to hear them. And in the mean time, I'll just keep swatching on my shorties :)
Right, on to today's post! Trind send me their Paradise Island collection, which consists of 4 polishes, 2 cremes and 2 shimmers. I mainly know Trind for their wide range of nail care products, and I liked the products that I tried of them, so I was curious after these polishes. They are from their Caring Colors line, those polishes are developed to maintain your pretty nails. Now I don't know how well they do that, because I just swatched them, but I do know I liked their application!
Each polish took 2 easy, streak-free coats (or 3, if you prefer thinner coats) and I just love streak-free cremes! I applied the 2nd coat thicker, but even with a thicker coat these dried surprisingly fast. They're shiny as well, I didn't use top coat for my swatches. The brush of these polishes is fairly small, especially compared to the wider brushes that seem more common nowadays. But I don't mind smaller brushes, it takes more strokes to cover the nail, but I find it easier to polish neatly around my cuticles and that helps with the cleanup afterwards.

| Minty Mojito |
Minty Mojito is a bright mint green. I have quite a few minty greens, but I think it is actually unique in my stash because it's brighter than similar polishes (I haven't doublechecked on nail wheels because I ran out of them and am waiting for my swatch sticks). Unfortunately it does give me red fingers aka lobster hands.

| Blue Lagoon |
Blue Lagoon is one of the shimmers in this collection, but it's a lot more vibrant than I could capture! It's a bright azure blue with subtle green/blue shimmer. Very pretty if you ask me :)

| Purple Sunset |
Purple Sunset is a red-based purple and was the most pigmented of the bunch. My camera shows it too blue though (heh, now there's a surprise!), so I used my phone in an attempt to capture the color better, as you can see below.

| Tropical Blue |
Tropical Blue is a cobalt blue shimmer, and it's a beauty, look at that shimmer! I like this one most on my photos, but in real life, it's Blue Lagoon that wins the race.

I think the 2 cremes aren't so unique, but the shimmers are and I really like them. However, they do stain (especially Tropical Blue), so make sure to use basecoat with them! Overall, this was a pleasant introduction for me to Trind's polishes. One big downside for me though? That funky cap isn't a problem with polishing, but it does make the bottles too high to fit in my precious Helmers! >.<
