The Remaining Eyeko Swatches

I got 4 Eyeko Polishes in the mail a while ago. I was really excited about them, pretty colors and I love the new bottles. Way better than the old ones although the old bottles were cuter.
L to R Vintage Polish, Lilac Polish, Purple Polish, Cosmic PolishDecided to wear Vintage polish right away. You can find that post by clicking here. And here's the remaining three!
Lilac Polish
Lilac Polish with flashLilac Polish is exactly what the name says, a pretty lilac creme. It took 3 coats to get it opaque but not even. It's like the formula was a bit gooey and it didn't want to flow out on the nail. The brushstrokes kind of stuck in the polish and it took a thick coat of Poshé to even it out. I always wear topcoat anyway so it wasn't a big problem, just odd, maybe some thinner could fix it up.
Purple Polish
Purple Polish with FlashPurple Polish is a dark purple neon, it reminds me of Essie perky purple. Impossible to capture on camera. It's bright as the flash picture but dark as in the first picture. It took 2 coats to get it opaque and it went on alot smoother than Lilac Polish, had no application problems what so ever. Really fun and pretty color!
Cosmic Polish
Cosmic Polish with flashCosmic Polish is a black jelly with multi colored glitter. The glitter pops alot more in the bottle so I was a little dissapointed after I had applied it. There's loads of silver glitter in the bottle that doesn't show on the nail at all. It's still a pretty polish even though it wasn't exactly what I had expected. It took 3 coats to get it opaque and application was a dream.
These polishes, with the exception of Lilac Polish, are way better than Eyeko's old collection, both formula and bottle shape. Think I can fix the Lilac one up though. All my old Eyeko's are dried up cause the caps wont close tightly, don't think I'll be having that problem with these bottles though. Good job Eyeko, think I need to buy the remaining colors soon :)

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!
