Eyeko - Indigo Polish

Good afternoon all! I'm glad the weekend started for me and I'm really looking forward to relaxing. Yesterday I already did some relaxing - tanning and swimming - but the weekend is always something different. It has some kind of different vibe? I don't know how to explain.

A while back I ordered polishes from Eyeko and they're all really nice. The one I'm showing you today is the Indigo Polish for Sultry Nails.


Indigo Polish is a dark blue shimmer. I have nothing else to say about it, it's just what it is. There are a lot of blue shimmers in this world and this one is pretty nice but certainly not unique.

I needed two coats to reach opaqueness and applying it was fine. Eyeko polishes are somewhat thicker but because they're well pigmented I can't be bothered that much. Besides, we can always use our best friend the polish thinner!

You can buy Indigo Polish on the Eyeko website for €4.00 but pay attention to the sets they're also selling: it's cheaper and the sets are nice.

I hope you all have a nice weekend and thanks for stopping by! :-)

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.


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?

Eyeko - Pastel Polish

Hi guys! Recently Eyeko released two new polishes and today I'm showing you one. They're both limited edition and I was very excited to try them because I'm kind of an Eyeko fan. Not only do I love the pigmented polishes, the bottles are also very adorable.

Today I want to show you the Pastel Polish for Nice Nails. This is, like Punk Polish, a re-release so some of you might know this one. Pastel Polish is a baby blue with tiny blue shimmer, creating a blue flash on the nail. It isn't unique but it is nice and very subtle.


I was disappointed with the application. Some Eyeko polishes are thick and need a drop of thinner but are not that hard to work with. This however... It's not only thick, it's also streaky. It's hard to build this one up and I needed four coats for an even result. I've read peoples experiences with the first release of this one and those weren't good either. It's too bad they didn't changed the formula because it really is a nice polish.

If you're interested in getting this one just because you can or missed out on it the first time (and maybe because the LE is screaming to you: BUY ME!) you should definitely look on Eyeko's website. Tons of goodies!

Any experience with the Pastel Polish? Thinking of getting it?
Have a great weekend!

Contrast Marble

Hey everyone! Lately I've been really lacking inspiration for nail art and I'm also into contrasts soooo I did a watermarble just to give you a little bit of artsyfartsy stuff.


I prepped my nails with OPI Damone Roberts 1968 - also used for the marbling as well as Eyeko Punk Polish. I really like the way these bright and soft colours mix.

Again no pattern! I am such a neat freak that I really dislike it when patterns aren't the same so I always marble quite random. Silly silly silly, I know but I also know I'm not the only one haha!

What is your favourite contrasting colour combo?

New Eyeko Polishes: Get in the Pink!

Hi everyone! Eyeko has released two new polishes and again, these two are limited editions. Let's have a look at them!


This is Punk Polish for Neon Nails. Punk Polish is a polish that has been released earlier but it is back now so if you have missed it the first time, now it's your chance to get it.

Punk Polish is a really bright and vibrant medium pink. It doesn't have the neon/semi matte finish that neons have but to be honest I don't care that much for semi matte finishes. I'm not wearing any top coat so you can see how glossy it is. Application was okay, the formula was a little thin so it flooded my cuticles a little. Like the other Eyeko polishes I tried Punk Polish was very pigmented and I needed two coats for an opaque and smooth finish.


This is the new polish, Chi Chi Polish for Girlie Nails.

Chi Chi Polish is a glitter polish. Normally I see these clear based glitter polishes with a transparant base but the Chi Chi Polish has kind of a milky base. The base is packed with light salmon pink glitter. Application was fine but I didn't wait long enough so I dragged a little glitter when I was applying the second layer (so when you apply, be patient!). I needed three coats for this polish to be opaque. You can use the Chi Chi Polish also for layering, see:


I've layered Chi Chi Polish over Punk Polish and I think it makes a pretty neat combination. Because of the milky base the neon gets toned down a tiny bit but not that noticable.

My opinion on these two? I like them both very much! Me, a pink disliker! Not only application wise they are fine, I think Punk Polish is a great bold shade and Chi Chi Polish is a very sweet shade so I'm very happy to add these to my collection.

Eyeko Polishes are available on their website. A single polish costs £3.50 but there are also nice sets available. The two polishes I showed you today are also available on their website.

I like Dots

Hey everyone! Glad the weekend started? I sure am! Today I'm showing you one of my all time favourite and easy manicure in a different way - a dotted manicure! Dots are very easy to make when you own a dotting tool (or a toothpick, also works) and sometimes I like to do it a little different. You've seen me putting rhinestones on dots and now I used round shaped pink glitter from Viva La Nails for this dotted manicure. It's not special, it's not difficult but it sure is fun.


The polish I'm wearing is Eyeko's Posh Polish, a pretty taupe that is opaque in two coats. Like the other Eyeko polishes I tried this one applied nicely, the polish is not too thick nor too thin. I love how pink and taupe combine together, it's definitely one of my most favourite colour combination.

What are your favourite colour combinations?
Have a great Saturday!

New Limited Eyeko Releases

Hi everyone! Eyeko recently released two new limited edition shades and today I'll show you these. Eyeko polishes come in 8.5 ml and every polish bottle has its own unique design. We're starting with the Saucy Polish for Naughty Nails.

Saucy polish reminds me of fire trucks and tomatoes. I'm loving this shade of red. It's bright and vibrant, not muted at all and still it's a very wearable shade. Application was good, the formula is a little thick but this didn't turn me off. I actually kind of liked it! The great thing about applying it is that the polish comes on evenly and it doesn't give you the visible streaky brush strokes. In the picture I'm wearing two coats because of visible nail line (thanks, macro) but this a one coater - very pigmented.

Let's move on to the second polish, Rain Polish for City Nails.

A nice muted greyish blue with shimmer. The shimmer isn't that noticeable in normal light, when your nails catch the sunlight it will show more. This was a little thinner and it took me more effort to get this one on even. The polish is also very pigmented but because it's a little thinner I needed two coats of opaqueness. 

My thoughts on these two? Saucy Polish has surprised me the most. I, not being a red polish lover, would wear this one quite a lot because it is so vibrant and pretty. Rain Polish is also a very nice one. I guess you could say I'm really pleased with these two!

These polishes are sent to me by Eyeko. Their polish costs 3,50 pounds individually but  they also offer cute polish sets so be sure to take a look!
