What's in my Bag Video?!

My very first video in a really long time! I posted this on my personal blog because of my Blog Challenge and I thought I would post it on here as well. I've seen a lot of ladies do these videos so I thought I should make a video too. Bare with me guys, I don't do this nearly enough! But with that said, enjoy this long, hopefully entertaining video of me showing you guys what's in my bag. I still can't believe I spent over 10 minutes showing what's inside my bag. I had to edit so much to keep it under 10 minutes! Hope you appreciate it. :)

Eyeko Nail Polish - Review, Swatches and Photos

*NOTE: I have really horrible nails and cuticles at the moment so please don't remind me! I'm currently aware of how they look right now. D:





Top Row: Coral Polish, Vampira Polish, Punk Polish
Bottom Row: Chi Chi Polish, Saucy Polish



Eyeko polishes are amazing! I was so excited to try these out because I've heard nothing but great things about their polishes. I was very surprised with the pigmentation and the lasting power of these. Also, they come in really unique packaging and cute names. The polish itself is pretty thick in consistency but with one coat, the color comes off really opaque which is what I love about these. You can easily get away with one coat of their polishes. Two coats is more than enough and three is really pushing it! The only polishes that required two coats were Chi Chi Polish and Vampira Polish.

AVAILABLE AT: Eyeko.com
SIZE: 8.5 ml (0.30 fl oz.)
VALUE FOR PRICE: 5/5
EASE OF USE: 5/5
PACKAGING: 4/5
MEETS EXPECTATIONS: 5/5
OVERALL USE: 5/5


PROS:

Creamy consistency
Pretty good lasting power (About 1 week before they started chipping)
Cute packaging
Very pigmented and opaque

CONS:
Certain colors like Saucy and Coral require a really good base coat otherwise it will stain your nails
Takes a little while for them to dry (in my opinion)
Some shades are a little too thick and I tend to put too much on one nail
