NOTD ELF Twinkle over Eyeko Rain.

Before we get on to the polish, a quick apology. I know I have been lacking on posts lately, unfortunately life has conspired to cause me a few problems which has left my blogging time diminished, I *think* I have everything back under control, so hopefully I'll be around more, from now on! 


So I mentioned I got the the new Elf Christmas collection polishes recently. Elf Twinkle, is more of a top coat than a polish you'd wear alone, with blue, pink, gold and orange glitter. So first 2 bottle pictures, the right one is not in focus to show more of the colours. (You can click on this picture (and all my pictures!) to make it bigger)

The blue colour in this polish reminded me of Eyeko Rain which I happened to be wearing at the time and I  popped a coat on top of the Eyeko Rain.  

I liked this it wasn't too in your face but was still really nice. I only wore this for one or two days, I had already been wearing the eyeko for  a few days, but the wear was fine for those couple of days. Application was fine.  


Since these polishes are a Christmas collection and I doubt they'll be made permanent,I'll get these up on the blog as soon as possible.  Other than this one and yesterday's metal madness there are 3 more in the Christmas collection.

Eyeko Rain

Today's NOTD is Eyeko Rain, extremely fitting as it never stops raining around here lately. But, rather than being depressing like real rain, this is a beautiful colour, which is not depressing at all. The colour is a kind of greyed baby blue, with a hidden shimmer. So on to the pictures, 

Artificial light, Flash

and close up of the shimmer.(Gosh, my cuticles look a bit scary close up, sorry!) 

The application was perfect on this, the brush is quite skinny, so I had to re-dip the brush to get enough polish to cover the nail, but that was no issue. The bottle is a little tall and narrow, which makes it a little bit unstable, but again that wasn't much of an issue. I wore this for a few days and there was no noticeable wear.  Eyeko polishes are available from their website for €4.00 and they offer free shipping to Europe and it's fairly cheap outside. Usually they offer something free if you spend more than €12. I got this one from ASOS in their sale. 

ASOS Sale

I picked up a few nail polish bits in the ASOS sale. I was at work on a Saturday feeling sorry for myself when I saw it posted on another blog. I knew I had a few extra €'s coming in so decided to treat myself.(There are a few bits left on sale, if you're interested!) . I'm actually surprised everything go to me in one piece, because there was absolutely no packing, basically all the bottles were thrown in a box. So, thank you to the nice post men and women (post people?!) who got my package to me with no breakages!

Here's what I got.

Three Eyekos, Indigo, Posh and Rain. These normally retail at €4.50, but were €1.65 in the sale. I've been dying to try Eyeko for ages!

Some of the ASOS Ciatés, from L-R  Megan, Blake, Lauren and Lily. These cost €1.32, full price is €7.92.

Two Illamasquas, Rampage and Muse. Rampage was €8.60 and Muse was €6.62.  Full price is €17.21.

Two Model's own, what should be Blue Gem but is Bubble Gum and Purple Grey, these cost €3.92, they are usually €6.92.

Any of these you'd like to see? I have purple grey coming up in the next post!
