NOTD: Eyeko Vintage Polish

5:29 PM | Posted by Anna |

I got some Eyeko Polishes the other day, they have change the design of their bottles to the better, yay! My old Eyeko's keep drying out cause the cap wont close tightly and it's uncomfortable to hold while painting cause it's so small. I got Vintage Polish, Lilac Polish, Purple Polish and Cosmic Polish.

Today I'm wearing Vintage Polish, which is supposed to be a jade green color if you believe what it says on the bottle. However I think it has too much blue in it to be a jade. It's still a pretty color though, soft and very nice for spring

This isn't really color accurate, it's a tiny bit more green. Look at the bottle picture above.

Eyeko did the same "mistake" as Essie with Mint Candy Apple, added a little too much blue for the color to be perfect in my opinion. Vintage is how I expected Turntable by L.A. Girl to look but it's more like if Turntable and MCA would have a baby it'd be Vintage Polish. They all ended up on one of my green wheels, even though they're too blue to really be green!

Enough about the color, on to the formula. It was a bit sheer, maybe even jelly'ish. It took 3 thick coats to get it opaque but the application went smoothly. They have definitely improved their formula, bottles and brushes. Looking forward to trying the rest of them!
