Swatch Party! Eyeko, Nubar Sweet Nothings, and Hong Kong Glitters

Hi peeps! I finally got around to swatching some polishes on my lemming wheel. The glitters are one coat, Eyekos two coats, and Nubars 3 coats.

3: Eyeko Pastel - Baby blue with subtle teal shimmer

4: Eyeko Pretty - Baby pink creme

5: HK Glitter Fuchsia

6: HK Glitter Purple

7: HK Glitter Multi

8: HK Glitter Copper/peach

9: HK Glitter Gold

10: HK Glitter Blue
11: HK Glitter Teal

12: HK Glitter Silver

13: Nubar Candy Apple

14: Nubar Lemon Drop Dazzle
15: Nubar Strawberry Punch
16: Nubar Peach Sherbet
17: Nubar Iced Licorice
18: Nubar Cotton Candy

First lets talk about the Eyeko polishes. It took forever for them to deliver, but the polishes them selves do deliver! They have great pigmentation (there's only two coats on the lemming wheel) and application, and the brush is not as annoying as it looks. I'll definitely be ordering the two last Eyeko polishes. They are £3.00 at
http://www.eyeko.com/ and shipping is free!

I'm not as thrilled about the Hong Kong Glitters (I think the brand might be called "HQ", but I'm not sure). I bought these from Paul Lee Design on ebay. The polishes are very cheap, but shipping is expensive. They smell REALLY BAD. A nasty, chemical smell that will eat your brain. Honestly I'm afraid of putting them on my nail. Ingredients weren't listed on the bottles, so I have no idea what's in them.

The Nubars are from the Sweet Nothings Collection. I've talked about that collection earlier, because I wanted Iced Licorice. The other colors looked nice as well, so I picked up the collection pack. The colors are somewhat sheer but buildable. The lemming wheel shows 3 coats. They have very nice micro glitter. I'm excited to see how they will compare with the China Glaze summer collection.
