Eyeko Nailpolishes - Review

l-r: nude, vintage, rain, chi chi


As previously mentioned in this post, I took advantage of the Groupon deal for the Eyeko voucher a little while ago and I planned to pick four nailpolishes to try out.

The colours I (eventually) decided on were:

Vintage Polish
Nude Polish
Rain Polish
Chi Chi Polish

I was eager to try them out, hence the multicoloured nails this morning. I think Chi Chi is adorable and not too rough without a top coat, which is a plus for me when it comes to glitter nails. Rain is very quickly a favourite, I think the bluey grey colour would probably go with just about everything in my pastel wardrobe. Vintage is a beautiful pale green but for some reason I found it very hard to apply, it took around 3 coats for me to get it looking right, but it's a really gorgeous colour. And lastly, nude, which is brilliant in my opinion. It's a pale shimmery nude that gives you a nail 'colour' without standing out too much, definitely a winner at work for me.

I wouldn't say they took too long to dry, and so far no chips, so we'll see how that goes ;)

In the next post, I'm going to *finally* get around to writing up a collective review of a few make-up pieces I mentioned in this post.

Hope you're all well :D

Sparklerose Jewellery + Eyeko Nailpolishes

I got my sparkly beads out the other day and created this little beauty. It's a summery version of my Mauve Elegance Charm Bracelet, which featured mauve roses and delicate pink beads, and proved quite popular around the wintery months.

I'm thinking I should call it something summery :) any suggestions?


I'm slowly beginning to make new pieces for an Etsy store I'm in the process of creating, so I'm using bits of free time to get some stock together. Adrian is working late tonight, so I'm pottering around the flat getting little jobs done, hopefully some more jewellery will get made ;)

On another note, I took advantage of the Eyeko deal on Groupon the other day, which was a £20 voucher for just £8. I noticed the deal mentioned by Charlene at Dainty Dresses, and I quickly jumped at the chance to grab one of these vouchers, as I've been after some of their nailpolishes for a while.

I've heard so many great things about Eyeko nailpolishes, and seen so many lovely looking swatches too. My plan was to pick 4 nailpolish colours to fulfil the £20 voucher, making them a bargain at £2 each. But I'm totally spoilt for choice!

My faves are:

This looks like a really neutral tan in swatches I've seen.


This one looks like a greyish blue, also very neutral.
I love this colour, but I'm pretty sure I already have a colour similar...
I love the colour in the bottle, but wonder how easy it is to apply...
This is a gorgeous dark shade with red flecks of glitter, I really do love this, although it isn't practical for everyday use for me.
This is the perfect nude colour to me.
Two words: Pink, Glitter :D

Do you own any of these shades? Which one/ones would you pick? :)

Love,
Fiona x
