Eyeko Nail Polishes

The other day I received some nail polishes from a company called Eyeko. If anyone isn't familiar with this company they are based in the UK and have the absolutely cutest range of makeup ever invented! OK. I may be using a bit of hyperbole in that last statement, but they are totally cute!

So ANYWAY, I get these 4 nail polish shades and I'm kinda bummed because everyone and their mother have already received and reviewed these colors.I'm like the last dregs of the blog-o-sphere to review these polishes. Whoa. That didn’t come out well. Thank you to Kelly for pointing out my faux pas. I certainly didn’t mean to imply that if you are a blogger and you PURCHASED the Eyeko polishes you are lower than the last dregs of the blog-o-sphere. That was insensitive and very rude of me. I meant to convey that I was disappointed about the timing of the post and how it certainly wasn’t cutting edge news because other bloggers had already posted about the colors and I was probably the last of them to do so, whether the products were given to them gratis or they purchased them. I am VERY sorry for my insensitive remark above. And THANK you for kicking my butt and knocking some sense back into me. I decided to have some fun with them because a) You all have see the swatches and b) I'm not particularly fond of plain old creme polishes.

So here is what I did. I swatched all 4 shades:
Eyeko Posh Polish - A taupe (Did I hear the word Taupe?) creme
Eyeko Petite Polish - A sheer pink creme
Eyeko Rain Polish - A grey / blue creme (the most unique of the 4 I received)
Eyeko Coral Polish - A hot coral red creme

Then I layered. I used what I had in my home and I used what was still available on the market. I didn't want to layer with some obscure hard to find Japanese brand jelly with sparkles (which I do have and which I will be using for my own personal use). No I was nice and tried to be accessible.
So ANYWAY
I personally think the Eyeko polishes look MUCH better after a layer of another sheer shade on top. You be the judge.

The polishes are thin, with the exception of Coral Polish. All are using 3 coats of Eyeko polish with no top coat. The brush is shamefully thin and reminds me of Milani nail polish brushes. The Eyeko polishes have a decent wear time. No chipping after 2 days. The bottles are SMALL 8.5 ml (.28 fl oz) and the price tag isn't huge, but hardly reflects the small bottle size at $5.50 USD. You can buy Eyeko nail polish and anything else from their line through the on line shopping part of their website located HERE. Free shipping on orders over $55

Do you NEED this: Well unless you see a color in their collection you CAN'T live without I say no. The thin consistency makes 3 coats necessary for most colors, since the bottles are so small it hardly seems worth it, you'll finish a bottle quickly. However. if you like to layer polishes (like I do) then you might give some of the basic creme colors a look see. I was particularly fond of Rain and they have a pretty Jade Green and a Lilac that are unique enough to warrant a purchase for sure.
