Eyeko - Punk with China Glaze Crackle - Crushed Candy

Eyeko Punk is a hot pink neon. My bottle had gotten really thick since the last time I used it. Making application really difficult and bubbly. Which is a shame since the first time I used it on my toes it applied beautifully with out any problems. I used two coats for this manicure. I've also included a photo I took under the black light.


Afterwards I put on a coat of China Glaze Crackle - Crushed Candy. Crushed Candy is a turquoise creme that crackles once placed over your manicure. I have the whole set of China Glaze Crackles thanks to a swap with Emily! For the most part I'm impressed by the color range, but I would say that the crackle effect is a lot more finicky than Barry M or P2.

I had this look on my toes for awhile and decided that it would work well as a manicure. Kind of reminds me of vibrating colors.


I took pictures under the black light too!


What do you think of this hot pink neon underneath the turquoise Crushed Candy?

Eyeko - Cosmic

Tomorrow I'm flying to the US to stay with my family for a month. I'm really excited! I've been living in Switzerland for 6 months 1 week and 3 days. Very crazy. I haven't driven a car or had a Diet Coke. (Okay, I did splurge on an import Diet Coke Lime once.) I don't think my posting will totally drop off the month I'm away but it's possible.

Eyeko Cosmic is very appropriately named. A glossy black with bits of holographic glitter creating a very cosmic look. I used two coats.

Unfortunately Zurich is not very sunny during winter and I never managed to get a picture of this in the sun. So here it is with my camera's flash.

Eyeko - Rain

I recently wore Eyeko Rain for city nails. It's a pretty baby blue with a light grey tinge. It has a very subtle shimmer that you can't notice in the pictures. I tried to capture it with flash, but it's not very noticeable. It's a pretty color an only needed two coats.


With flash.
Sorry about my cuticles. I kind of been ignoring them. heh.

Nail Mail!

Today was a great mail day! I got two packages. One was my order from Eyeko and the other was from a swap I did with Squared Nails.

I sent her some Catrice nail polish since they're only sold in Europe and she sent me the China Glaze Awakening Collection. It's a Halloween collection and I was worried that since I moved here I wouldn't be able to get it. So thank you!!

She also surprised me with three polishes from the Vintage Vixen Collection. She is too kind!!

From Eyeko I purchased three polishes. I'm really excited to try these out.

Anyone else expecting nail mail soon!?

Eyeko - Saucy

I made a small order from Eyeko a cosmetics company based in England. I bought three polishes Rain, Saucy, and Chi Chi. I wanted more, but I've spent too much money lately so I only chose three. I'll get more later I'm sure. Especially since they offer free shipping on any order in Europe.

Rain, Saucy, Chi Chi
Aren't the labels adorable! I think that's a unique way to label your products. Along with the descriptions on them. Rain - for city nails, Saucy - for naught nails, and Chi Chi - for girlie nails.

The first one I used was Saucy. A lovely red hot creme. Get this... I only used one coat! You have to be careful, but this polish can definitely be one coat. It's hard to tell in the picture, but it is also very shiny! I just love this red. I own a lot of red polish, but nothing like this!


I got my Eyeko polish ordered on Monday and today I got a care package from Dana and Kayla who are friends from college. Thanks girls!


They sent me some stuff that I'm missing deeply from home. A coloring book that plays Wipe Out when open!, coloring pencils, and window markers (which I've already used).A package of gummy bears, Reese's, and vanilla extract (something that I can't find in Switzerland!). Best part of all! They sent me nail polish. The OPI Swiss Mini's and OPI What's With the Cattitude? I have that one already back home, but they sent it as my something blue! Isn't that sweet.They also sent me China Glaze C-C-Courage which I now have on as my NOTD. So check out tomorrow for a post on that.
