~ This is it 'Siona Island' ~

Hello nail polish lovers :)! Here I am again, with some bad news but a nice polish to show you!

Bumped my index... argh ^^

After spending a week at home, I went to Barcelona with my boyfriend. You have to visit this city, it is amazing! We bought tickets online for some places we wanted to visit, which was a great decision because we could skip the lines and take all our time to look at Gaudi's brilliant work. We heard a lot about the pickpocketing that's going on in Barcelona so we were very careful, but unfortunately my new bag (I had it for just a week and it was bright mint green.. mehh :( ) got stolen on our last night... Luckily, it didn't contain any money, bank passes or my identity card, but I did loose some souvenirs I bought, my city guide (including post-it's), my phone, and worst of all: my camera with all our pictures. So to portrait this lovely polish, I took pictures with my boyfriend's iPhone. (All are in natural light, wearing three coats)

I (like a lot of nail polish girls) don't prefer polishes with a pearly or streaky finish. I expected Siona Island to have a finish like that, but I really liked its colour and slight duochrome effect so I decided to give it a chance. I also thought that it might look a bit like Chanel Azuré.

It's definitely not a dupe. The colours are not similar enough and the duochrome effect is stronger in the Chanel polish. I do think the polishes create the same tropical atmosphere. I feel like a mermaid when I wear Siona Island (which I googled, by the way, and it doesn't exist. Saona Island does, though).

Siona Island doesn't even have a very pearly/streaky finish! It's more like the finish duochromes and metallic polishes have.

Here is a picture I took of polishes I bought during my holidays! The speckled one looks really gross here, it's colour is a lot more fresh than it is in my picture, haha! I took swatch pictures of the Bourjois polish (green fizz) in Barcelona (on the top of Casa Mila (or 'La Pedrera')), but like I mentioned they are gone now :(. I will definitely show you this polish in some nail art soon though, because it is amazing, and probably my new favourite!

Thanks for reading! I hope you're all having great holidays! Please share your plans and the places you've been to :)

 - for the Dutchies: I bought this polish at Intertoys for I think... 2,49 -
