Eyeko "Saucy" Nail Polish

This polish from Eyeko has been available for some time, but it's one of my fave's from the range, and definitely worth a look.

Above -Saucy polish and Rain polish

Saucy is a lovely hot orange based red - it almost but not quite verges on the coral side. Obviously the formula's of the eyeko polishes can vary - some can drag a little and need more coats. This one is one of my favourites in terms of formula and application - It's not too thick so doesn't drag, and applies smoothly. If you have Eyeko's Coral polish, this remindedme alot of it in terms of formula and application... I personally apply two coats of this, mostly from habit, but this is the sort of polish you could apply in one coat if you have less time.
I have also found that this polish wears well - I never expect high street/drugstore polishes to last longer than 2-3 days, but I applied this on my toes once and it wore extremely well. This is available both in sets an invidually on the Eyeko website.

Eyeko "Rain" Nail Polish

I've seen this on a few blogs recently and loved it from afar, so I was really pleased to be sent it unexpectedly for review purposes.

Rain is a lovely pale grey-blue shade, and looks a lot more expensive to me than its price tag sugests... It's currently availabl in a set of three blue shades on the EYEKO website for £8.50. I hope this becomes available on its own too - as I say it's a pretty shade, and to me, this is a little bit different.
Application wise, I found this definitely needed two coats - the first coat applied quite patchily, and there was some definite dragging, however applying a second (thicker) coat, solved this. This to me is a wearable colour, but still a little bit different. It's the sort of shade that doesn't look out of place at work, but is interesting enough that people will ask what shade you are wearing. This pleases me!

Now I just need to learn to apply nail varnish in that lovely neat way some beauty bloggers seem able to do...
