Eyeko Military Polish

Good afternoon all! Today I will show you the last one of the new Eyeko polishes.

Military Polish is something I can describe best as a mix between green and brown. On your nails it is darker than it looks like in the bottle, the only exception to this is when your nails hit the sun. I can imagine people being disappointed about it because in some light your nails will look nearly black, that's how dark this shade is.

Eyeko Military Polish

Application was okay. First coat was streaky but the second coat made up for it and also made it fully opaque. The polish is quite pigmented and a little on the thick side. One thing that bugged me is that while applying the polish it looked like there was sand in the polish, giving me tiny gritty spots on my nails. My friend also had that, and she has a different bottle, so what's up with that? Drying time was pretty fast and it leaves you with a very glossy finish.

If you're mad about (army)greens I'd get this one, otherwise I'd just leave it. The formula could've been better and I wish the colour on your nails was like the colour in the bottle! The colour is too dark now for my taste. I got mine from the Eyeko website for €4.00. A bottle contains 8.5ml.

How do you feel about military shades? Any thoughts about this one from Eyeko?

I totally need this polish. I love anything military related or anything in this family so I am loving this one.
Well well... it is a very lovely polish just because it is a strange one! It looks very different from the bottle, you are right, and I would prefer it too if the colour on nails was the same as the one in the bottle but.... as that's not possible, I would still buy it just because of all the gloss! :D

I love it being all glossy, that's a good thing! Just wish it wasn't as gritty, ah well, too bad.
I'm waiting for mine to come home, as I have ordered a few Eyeko polishes last week... I love this army green, it's just perfect on your nails! ;)
I have a couple military colors, but they don't really look nice on me, though you have the same skincolor this one looks good on you!

Aw thanks! :-) Maybe it's just the 'I like it on others, not ME' kind of thing. I have that issue with pink polish.

This is such an awesome shade! It looks tough.
I like it, being rather dark...Pretty different from other greens I own (I'm becoming a green addicted!), looks great on your skintone -> will buy it!
Looks good on you! Would never buy this color myself though :)
I'm not really a fan of this polish, it's a bit too muddy looking for my tastes, but I do agree that it looks great with your skintone!
Heel mooi! Wat is groen toch mooi!
So beautiful color !
love it!
I'm trying to decide between this and RBL No More War. If I get No More War and it is too light, I'll pick this up.
