Eyeko Polishes

I recently was given a set of eyeko nail polishes. So since I was just sitting around today and it was a beautiful sunny day perfect for swatching I decided to try them out.

So here's what I got:

L-R: Indigo Polish, Purple Polish, Cosmic Polish, Nude Polish, Lilac Polish

Purple Polish (for electric nails) a really deep purple. I was expecting it to be neon for some reason but it is not. The color purple is definitely a pinkinsh purple, like maybe a rasberry color. I really like the color but the application was pretty tricky. The nail polish was really goopy and made a mess while I was putting it on. I think a couple drops of nail polish thinner would make it perfect though.

Lilac Polish (for lovely nails) a pretty spring color. Looking at it on my nails reminded me of Easter, why idk it just did. I really like this color. But like the purple polish the application was horrible, goopy and just difficult.

Nude Polish (for perfect nails). Let me say first I am not a huge fan of the whole mannequin hands trend and nude colors really just aren't my thing. I love this one, which really suprised me. The polish is a pink/peach color and just really pretty. Unlike the purple and lilac polish I had no issues with this one and I two coats was perfect.

The last two colors in my set were the ones I was least excited about don't get me wrong I love dark polish especially blue. I have tons of dark blue and black polishes which is why these didn't excite me, they looked pretty ordinary. Well I was totally wrong these the indigo and cosmic polish were totally awesome.

Indigo Polish, wow this one was just awesome. Its a dark navy blue with blue and green and purple shimmer in it. In the bottle its just kinda eh but on the nail awesome!! The picture does not do the polish justice.

Cosmic Polish for space age nails, black with rainbow colored glitter. Enough Said.

Overall I really like these. The packaging is totally cute. The bottle are small (.30 fl.oz) which is about double the size of an Essie mini. The colors are all pretty awesome. Even though I had trouble with some of the polishes consistency a few drops of nail polish thinner cleared that right up. You can get these from Eyeko Beauty , they are $5 each. The best part is that worldwide shipping is FREE. I love free shipping!!
 

Prince Charming and a lil' Mad as a Hatter

I finally got my bottle of Mad as a Hatter and I love it! I also finally got around to trying my bottle of Prince Charming. So I wasn't quite ready to part with my prince yet but I wanted to try out MaaH. So here's what happened...

I love the glittery goodness!!!

Up and Away

I got my China Glaze Up and Away order while the internet was having difficulties. I only picked up four of the colors cause I am waiting to see a couple in real life to make a decision on them.

L-R: High Hopes, Happy Go Lucky, Four Leaf Clover, Grape Pop

I have had a chance to used four leaf clover and I really liked it.

The first picture isn't really color accurate

Even tough this one is blurry its more color accurate

A little Konad I did

I didn't have any problems with the application and it covered in two pretty thin coats!

I really like the colors I got from this colllection. I think I want to see Re-fresh Mint, Heli-Yum and Light as Air in real life before I make a decision!

Funky Purple

YAY! So the internet is all fixed ,even though it took some arguing with the tech. because according to them nothing was wrong with the equipment. Yeah the lights on the router are just blinking on and off and turning red and yellow and the box is turning on and off to amuse me!  So one new router and lots of new nail polish later I have to catch up a little bit

So Today I will begin with my Mom's mani from a couple days ago.

My Mom is strictly not a nail gal so I was suprised she let me use such in her words "off colors" and a funky design. I used China Glaze LOL & 2030 (Stamping Color). The design is from Konad image plate M 65.

** Coming Soon!! wowsocool.com is letting you order the new image plates already, I don't know when you would get them because it still says coming soon under the images!

*** Edit: ETA End of Feb 2010

Preppy In Pink

Good Evening!! Meant to post earlier but my internet has been on the fritz. I have to make this quick before it bites the dust again.

KOTD

I used China Glaze's Strawberry Fields and 2030 for the stamping. I can't think of what plate it is off the top of my head. I will investigate and let you know when my internet isn't all screwy.

Absolutely Alice

 I still need to pick up a bottle of Mad as a Hatter, I haven't had time to make a trip to Trade Secret. *kicks self for not including it in transdesign order. Oh well thats what I get for being indecisive. Anyway on to the nails.

I layered Absolutely Alice over a coat of Sephora by OPI Opening Night. Sephora descirbes opening night as a midnight navy, I think the swatch on the website is a little misleading though. It looks like it has glitter or shimmer and I don't see any of that in real life. It's still a pretty color though like a dark royal blue.

Hopefully I will get my Transdesign order Tues. or Wed. because I can't wait to try China Glaze's Up and Away Collection!!!
