I've always wanted to try these polishes, so when I was contacted by Eyeko I was super excited! In this post, I present to you fourteen...yes, 14 of the Eyeko polishes, which is nearly the entire collection that is available right now, with the exception of the new Pastel for Nice Nails and Military Polish for Brave Nails (which I'm dying to try- I love those murky greens).
Eyeko Vintage Polish for Elegant Nails
Mint green.
A lovely mint green polish that I really adore. It totally reminds me of decor from the 50s. It was a bit tough on application, but came out opaque in 3 coats.
Opacity scale (1-5): 1.5
Use for Konad:Doesn't stamp well on either darker or lighter colors.
Finish: Creme, 3 coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Vampira Polish for Gothic Nails
Black base with red glitter.
Just as the name suggests- a SUPER vampy polish. A gorgeous, glossy finish tops off the awesome. Not for the shy. :)
Opacity scale (1-5): 3
Use for Konad:Doesn't stamp well on darker colors, but stamps so-so on lighter colors.
Finish: Glitter, 2 coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Tea Rose Polish for Country Nails
Puce-y Pink creme.
Definitely inspired by country decor, it brings me back home a bit. Applied well, and was opaque in two coats.
Opacity scale (1-5): 3.5
Use for Konad:Stamps so-so on darker colors, but shows up well on lighter colors.
Finish: Creme, 2 coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Saucy Polish for Naughty Nails
Fiery red.
Caliente!! This polish is a great va-va-voom red!! Two coats and it was opaque. HOT! It was almost a one coater, but I could still make out a VNL.
Opacity scale (1-5): 4
Use for Konad: Stamps well on lighter colors, but not on darker colors.
Finish: Creme, 2 coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Rain Polish for City Nails
Greyed blue with subtle silver shimmer
This is a really chic polish, and I love the subtle hint of silver shimmer. It applied really well, this was 2 coats. Definitely reminiscent of rainy skies, and raindrops on windows. I did find a couple dupes in my collection though, as you can see in my pictures, they even have the same subtle shimmer.
Opacity scale (1-5): 3.5
Use for Konad: Stamps so-so on both lighter and darker colors.
Finish: Shimmer, 2 coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Punk Polish for Neon Nails
Shocking neon pink.
This is the sort of pink I can wrap my head around. Super bright and super fun, 2 coats to be opaque, dries to a satin finish like most neons.
Opacity scale (1-5): 3
Use for Konad: Stamps so-so on darker colors, but is very vibrant on lighter colors.
Finish: Neon, 2 coats to be opaque.

| One coat of Chi Chi over Punk |
Pink glitter suspended in a pale pink translucent base.
Super girlie pink glitter polish that takes several coats if you want it to be opaque, but layers well over colors like Posh.
Opacity scale (1-5): 1.5
Use for Konad: Doesn't stamp well over darker OR lighter colors.
Finish: Glitter, 4+ coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Posh Polish for Ladylike Nails
Mushroom taupe creme.
Very chic, and fits in well with all the neutrals we've been seeing the past few months. I love these types of colors!! Applies well in 2 coats!
Opacity scale (1-5): 3
Use for Konad: Stamps so-so on both lighter and darker colors.
Finish: Creme, 2 coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Petite Polish for French Nails
Super sheer pink.
Developed to be subtle, this color definitely is best for natural looks or french manicures. Very chic if you go for basic, simple, classy manicures.
Opacity scale (1-5): .5
Use for Konad:Not good to stamp with on darker OR lighter colors.
Finish: Sheer, 5+ coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Nude Polish for Perfect Nails
Nude colored polish with a very, very subtle silver shimmer.
This polish is a great natural nail look, aka mannequin hands. I find myself grabbing it to use as skin tone for my nail art.
Opacity scale (1-5): 2
Use for Konad:Doesn't stamp well on darker or lighter colors.
Finish: Shimmer, 4 coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Lilac Polish for Lovely Nails
Pastel lilac creme.
A very pretty polish, especially if you love pastels. Was a tad on the watery side, and took 3 coats to even it out for it to be opaque.
Opacity scale (1-5): 2
Use for Konad:Doesn't stamp well on darker colors, but stamps so-so on lighter colors.
Finish: Creme, 3 coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Indigo Polish for Sultry Nails
Inky indigo shimmer with a hint of teal shimmer.
This is, at first glance, a pretty straightforward indigo polish, but then at second inspection, you see the superfine teal shimmer that makes it a truly lovely color.
Opacity scale (1-5): 3
Use for Konad:Doesn't stamp well on darker colors, but stamps so-so on lighter colors.
Finish: Shimmer, 2 coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Cosmic Polish for Space Nails
Black base with holographic glitter.
Love. This. Polish. Never mind the super shiny finish, but add in holographic glitter and I'm SO in. I think this is one of my favorites of the Eyeko polishes.
Opacity scale (1-5): 3
Use for Konad:Doesn't stamp well on darker colors, but stamps so-so on lighter colors, but you don't really see the glitter.
Finish: Glitter, 2 coats to be opaque.
Eyeko Coral Polish for Resort Nails
Vibrant, reddish coral.
This one is a total must-have for summer- it makes me think of tropical colors and weather. A perfect pedicure color! It was a little on the sheer side, so it took me 3 coats to get it opaque. Makes me want to go scuba-diving, even though I can't swim!
Opacity scale (1-5): 2.5
Use for Konad:Fairly vibrant on lighter colors, but barely visible on darker colors.
Finish: Creme, 3 coats to be opaque.
Overall, I really loved most of these polishes, and use them in my nail art quite a bit! There are a few that aren't really my thing, but I can still appreciate their beauty. The application on most was fantastic (especially Saucy!!), and the colors had just a little something that set them over the edge from being plain to being awesome.
I love the Eyeko naming convention, I remember seeing the bottles a long time ago and loving it, and things haven't changed. If I had a con for this polish line, it would be the bottles though. They're nice, small and cute, but I find myself tipping them over really easily. Perhaps I'm just clumsy though. :-D
If you love any of these polishes, be sure to head on over to Eyeko and pick some up. They have other cosmetics as well, I never knew that- but now I do!! If you purchase anything, be sure to use my ambassador code (E10581) to get a free gift with your purchase!! Also, can I mention how much I love the feature on their site that allows you to view prices in your choice of Euros, Pounds, and US Dollars?
I've been seeing these polishes pop up every now and then on the blogs out there and they look amazing. I love them so much. Thank you for posting swatches of them all. I also like how you add if they are good for konads or not.
ReplyDeleteLOL I need that Chi Chi polish. I love seeing my name on a polish bottle, and it will probably never happen again, so I need to seize the moment.
ReplyDeleteThe indigo is really nice!
ReplyDeleteI love your review, so clear. I'm subbing now.
ReplyDeleteAlmost forgot: maybe these greens will fall into your fancy -> Essie New Psyched 731, Avon Nailwear Pro Olive Green N905.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love Cosmic!
ReplyDeleteMy fiance is gonna kill me but I just bought 10 of the shades you reviewed and then I get the Rain shade free....you are dangerous! :p
ReplyDeleteI ordered a bunch of these after seeing this post of yours! LOVE these colors, thank you! Though the bottles are minis, they are still a great price! I also got their "Fat Balm" lipgloss/cheek color, and I highly recommend it if you want a sheer (but still pigmented) color SPF balm. It's pretty great, imo. Eyeko needs to thank you, as I'm a diehard customer now...!
ReplyDeleteLove the pink polish.
