Dress Em Up Pink Nails Did

I wanted to go with something simple and fun - and I wanted to use that Eyeko Punk Polish again. There is just something about neon pink that I love to hate but you have to admit it looks good on pretty much everyone!














So I used Eyeko Punk Polish for Neon Nails as a base then with a black striper pen drew out little ties and buttons. Now my nails are dressed up for a night on the town. Unfortunately I'll be going to bed since Kai thought it was cool to start pulling my hair at 5:30am. It wasn't.

BAM POW Nails Did

So, one year has come to a close and I officially start back to work tomorrow after a wonderful time on maternity leave with Kai. Where has the year gone!?

So to get me over this hump I thought I could use some bright colours to pump me up. Pair that with my love of comics and you get comic bubbles!

Thumb: Joe Fresh Cobalt, Joe Fresh Pineapple, nail art pens
Pointer: JF Pineapple, nail art pens
Middle: OPI The Thrill in Brazil, nail art pens
Ring: Nubar Green Tea, nail art pens
Pinky: Eyeko Punk Polish, nail art pens

BAM POW wish me a good day back in the office!

Eyeko Polish Review and Giveaway 2!! WINNER

Thanks to everyone who entered the latest Eyeko Polish Giveaway! These polishes are super cute so I hope the winner really loves them. Before I announce it, here is the mani to go with the giveaway :) Sorry for the iPhone pictures - Ben just left for Germany for 10 days :'( and he took the camera. Pfft. Men.

I used Eyeko's Petite Polish for French Nails for the base, and then sponged tips with Eyeko Punk Polish for Neon Nails (which I've decided is my favorite Eyeko polish yet).

Then (cause I haven't done any actual nail art in forever - sorry...but this baby makes me tired!) I free handed the Eyeko logo using black nail art pens with the tiniest touch of blue for the eye. I also used a water decal from Viva La Nails. If you guys haven't checked out their decals I highly recommend their sampler pack specifically for bloggers and youtube artists that you just have to pay shipping on and they send you many fun goodies!

So - now the winner! Drumroll please......

 Alexa1202!!

Congrats Alexa! I'll be sending Chi Chi and Tea Rose your way.

An email is on its way to you!

 

Thanks again to everyone that continues to enter and enjoy my blog :)

Girly Stars Nails Did

It's seriously been one of those weeks. So in order to make myself feel better I thought I'd do something cheery and out of character. The cheery is the stars which I love, the out of character is definitely the pink!

It made me smile even though it only lasted 2 days. I really REALLY need to go out and buy another bottle of OPI's base coat. Right now I'm using a Sally Hansen brand and I'm lucky if my polish wears more than a day :(

I used Eyeko's Punk Polish for the base, and then a Bundle Monster plate with Konad special black polish for the stamp. I know its simple, but sometimes after a hard week you just have to keep things easy.

If you haven't already - take some time to enter my latest Eyeko Giveaway!

Eyeko Polish Review and Giveaway 2!!

Contest is now closed. A winner will be announced shortly.

The lovely people at Eyeko sent me two of their latest polishes Chi Chi for Girlie Nails and Punk Polish for Neon Nails to check out! I love these polishes more and more every time I get to sample them mostly because they're so compact so I carry them with me where ever I go!



Chi Chi Polish for Girlie Nails

Girlie indeed! This polish is slammed full of pink glitter with just a hint of gold flake in them. This is two coats I'm showing. It looks like a great layering polish and would look amazing over another metallic like a gold or silver. The application is smooth, but like most other glitter polishes you have to use some muscle to get it back off your nails!



Punk Polish for Neon Nails

So I'm really not a girlie type of girl, but every once in a while I get a hankering for a really hot barbie pink and THIS polish is it. I've had China Glaze and OPI pinks on before but this pink is truly the perfect neon pink that reminds me of when I used to play with dolls. It goes on superb in one coat but this is two just to make it pop. Like most neon polishes it is matte, but slap some top coat on it to really make it shine.

You can buy these polishes from the Eyeko website for £3.50 or about $5.45USD each. They also have a special on right now where you can buy all the pinks: Tea Rose, Petite Polish, Punk Polish and Chi Chi Polish for $11.50!

OR, you could take the chance to get two of these precious pinks RIGHT NOW!

I'll be sending one lucky winner Eyeko Tea Rose Polish and Eyeko Chi Chi Polish to call their very own.

Eyeko Cream Review

The lovely people at Eyeko in London have sent me Eyeko 3in1 Cream with Extra Glow to show to all of you! Now I'm not actually the moisturizing type of girl, so this whole thing is a little foreign to me to be honest!  This is what the cream is all about:

"Eyeko Cream with Extra Glow is a multitasking highlighter with all the benefits of your favourite cult classic Eyeko Cream. This NEW dreamy pink cream is loaded with micro light reflecting pigments perfect for creating a soft focus sheen. Add a flattering highlights to brow and cheek bones, your cupids bow, even collar bones and shins for a touch of moonlit magic."

I'll start off with some product shots: 

Packaging

Eyeko packaging

Reverse Eyeko packaging

Closeup of sell line

Like I did with the nail polishes I reviewed I have to say that I LOVE the packaging. It has just the right amount of Asian flare that I'm all about. The box even has cute little drawings of cherry blossoms on it! I was actually really close to doing a cherry blossom mani to go with this post until I realized that I've done at least 3 of those in the past. However, there can never be enough cherry blossoms in the world I think! Anyway - the packaging is great, the only thing I would have liked to see is some instructions on where best to place the cream. I'll show you why later in my post and also because like I said before, I really have no idea when it comes to applying creams unless they have the word "cocoa butter" in the title.

The Creme Itself

So the cream itself is a light shimmery pink colour and looks like icing! I kinda wanted to eat it, but that's the pregnant in me talking. The consistency is very light and fluffy and not at all greasy. And it smells like cream with no other harsh odors or perfumes. I have some on my hands and I actually don't even smell it anymore, so no scents to make you pass out.

The Shimmer

Woah what a shimmer there is in this product. Its extremely iridescent and the thing it reminded me of first is fairies! Again, the application is very light and not greasy, it just leaves a nice sheen.

The Before Shot

My god do I need some sleep. I swear the baby is keeping me up a lot more than I'd like these nights! Anyway, don't I look all sad without my face all moisturized and shimmery? Lets fix it!

The After Shot

There we go! All fresh and shimmery! This picture doesn't do it full justice so lets do a close up shot:

Yea that's shimmery alright. It was actually SO shimmery I looked like I'd either been misted to death or that I just came back from visiting my Godmother in Fairyville. So I will say this, although I DO very much like this product - for me its for sparing use only: around the eyes, on the cheeks and anywhere else on the face that needs some highlighting, or even collarbones. But definitely not all over my face! I also don't think it would wear too well under makeup. But again, to highlight after makeup application I think would look pretty fresh! Especially since its not greasy and won't smear your makeup.

The Conclusion

Would I buy this product? Yes. Would I ever use it as a daily moisturizer all over my face? No. I think its a great moisturizer to compliment the products that you already have and to give your face some nice shimmery highlights, but not all over as its just too overwhelming. But, because of that I can see this product lasting quite a long time. And for the price tag of $12USD its worth it for a product that's not greasy and that you can probably stretch for a good while. I think I'm going to bust out this product for the next wedding - as its definitely the kind of thing for special occasions and going out! They also have a tinted cream in their product line. Check that one out too!

Eyeko Polish Review and Giveaway!!

Contest is now closed. A winner will be announced shortly.

 So I was sent these lovely Eyeko polishes from the other side of the pond...that means London right? Well they were sent from London. I love getting contacted for this kind of thing so if you are reading me nail polish world - keep em coming! LOL.

Let me just start off by saying the packaging is SO CUTE. I really like the logo and they sent me these little sticker things with it. It is ultra feminine though which is so not my thing, however, the little tiny teeny-weeny girly girl in me loves it to death. It reminds me very much of most of the packaging around cosmetics that I saw in Japan when I was there. But, onto the polishes.

Now you've probably seen these on a few blogs already so I wont get into too much detail...

Eyeko Petite Polish for French Nails

This is a super sheer pale pink and like the bottle says its ideal for french manicures! Its actually a really great sheer on its own if you're into that kinda thing. The application is smooth and I can see it sitting really well under a white or even on top of a clear as the french itself.

Eyeko Tea Rose Polish For Country Nails

This polish is a much more dusty pink. Its a thicker formula and goes on opaque in 2 coats easily.

Outdoors

Eyeko Posh Polish for Ladylike Nails

This polish is a dark beige creme with pink undertones. It certainty is posh and definitely gives me that mannequin look. I can see you pairing this subtle polish with a black dress and big black celebrity sunglasses.

Indoors

Outdoors

Eyeko Coral Polish for Resort Nails

This is my favorite polish of the bunch. Its a nice red with a bit of an orange tone to it. And just as the name says its perfect for hitting the beach and getting noticed. Its opaque in 1 coat but I'm wearing 2 coats in the pics.

Indoors

Outdoors

Eyeko Vampira Polish for Gothic Nails

This polish is a simple black with red glitter. Its actually really shiny and glittery once its applied and the formula in the bottle doesnt do it justice. This would look really cool dotted over the Coral Polish I think!

Indoors

Outdoors

So lastly just an extra pic of the bottle and brush:

The bottle is extra cute and slim and the brush was suprisingly great considering how compact the bottle is. Its a SERIOUS travel/purse polish cause its so small and you can tote it anywhere!

You can buy these polishes from the Eyeko website for £3.50 or about $5.45USD each.

OR, you could take the chance to get two RIGHT NOW!
