MY LATEST OBSESSION: BECCA NAIL COLOUR IN 'PARADISE COVE'

Martha Temmuz 16, 2021

I must confess, I've had this nail polish since it came out last year, but I've only recently just played with it! OMG!!! It's SUCH a pretty colour! I couldn't describe it myself, but the official Becca website describes it as a "vibrant coral fuchsia". That's exactly it! ^_^

Initially, you'd think, uh-oh, not another coral shade - but I swear, there are so many variances of 'coral' nail polishes days and it's really hard to tell sometimes what the nuances are between them. It's particularly hard to capture in photographs, too. Anyway, since I put this on, I just couldn't stop wearing it. I have so many nail polishes that I normally change up quite often, but I just love this one so much I've worn it 2 weeks straight so far (on second re-application now).

I think the hint of fuchsia sets it apart from my other coral type nail polishes. I t's lovely and bright and just oh-so-perfect for summer!

I find Becca nail polishes in general and 'Paradise Cove' is no exception to be very high quality. Here's why I love it:

Did I say I'm in love with this colour already?! Ugh!!! >_< B-E.A-UTIFUL! *sigh* It's not just me who keeps staring at her tips when this gorgeous shade is on, I get quite a few compliments from friends and strangers!
Super easy to apply
Applies full coverage in two coats
The formula is self-leveling, so achieving an even coat is like magic.
Dries fairly quickly
Very glossy finish
Thin brush for easy, precise application (not that it matters coz it levels itself!!!)
Lasts me about 4-5 days as claimed
The formula is TFCDF free; free from Formaldehyde, Toluene, Camphor and Di Butyl Phthalate.

On The Nails...
Applied against medium to tan, olive skin tone (~NC30-35). Photographed indoors under artificial lighting and using a strobe.

Packaging

Packaged in square glass bottles with a cap/brush applicator handle (also square-shaped) that has the Becca signature dark brown colour and rubberised texture.

Comparative Swatches

The closest shades I have to 'Paradise Cove' are Inglot O2M 662 and Guerlain's Paradisio, but just not quite. 'Paradise Cove' is lighter and leans more pink. You can definitely see it more in person than in the photograph. Inglot's is deepest of the three. All shades in the photo were applied in 2 coats.
