Barry M - Cobalt Blue with Black Crackle Top

Hello everyone! I wanted to show off two Barry M polishes I got in the swap I did. First, I want to show you Cobalt Blue. It's a really lovely creme that applied nicely in two coats. It's a darker cousin of OPI Ogre-the-Top Blue. I'll have to compare the two but from my past swatches Ogre-the-Top Blue seems lighter.

   

Next up I want to show you the effect polish that Barry M released. It's a black polish that crackles when you place it on top of nail polish. When you applied the crackle top coat you have to do it really fast because the effect really is instant. The black will dry matte after the effect has finished so if you like it glossy you need to put a top coat over it.

My mom also sent me two care packages! I love getting mail and mail from your mother is best if you ask me!

  

Magazines, hair ties, Tylenol, red licorice, reeses peanut butter cups, Clinique face wash, Clinique face moisture (big bottle and trial size), Clinique High Impact mascara, Orly Sec N Dry, Zoya Color Spoonss, Revlon Lipstick (one on twitter), my favorite toothpaste, a Fiesta plate Christmas ornament, two OPI polishes that I bought in a blog sale in June, a mini wedding album, my favorite hair conditioner and shampoo, felt tip pens, and the ski sock that got caught in my bed when I was packing.

The second package contained an American Eagle hooded sweatshirt for me. It is a cotton fleece blend and is incredibly soft! She also surprised me Cuddle John pajamas. I'm wearing them right now and they are incredibly comfortable. She also sent more magazines.

Eyeko - Saucy

I made a small order from Eyeko a cosmetics company based in England. I bought three polishes Rain, Saucy, and Chi Chi. I wanted more, but I've spent too much money lately so I only chose three. I'll get more later I'm sure. Especially since they offer free shipping on any order in Europe.

Rain, Saucy, Chi Chi

Aren't the labels adorable! I think that's a unique way to label your products. Along with the descriptions on them. Rain - for city nails, Saucy - for naught nails, and Chi Chi - for girlie nails.

The first one I used was Saucy. A lovely red hot creme. Get this... I only used one coat! You have to be careful, but this polish can definitely be one coat. It's hard to tell in the picture, but it is also very shiny! I just love this red. I own a lot of red polish, but nothing like this!

I got my Eyeko polish ordered on Monday and today I got a care package from Dana and Kayla who are friends from college. Thanks girls!

They sent me some stuff that I'm missing deeply from home. A coloring book that plays Wipe Out when open!, coloring pencils, and window markers (which I've already used).A package of gummy bears, Reese's, and vanilla extract (something that I can't find in Switzerland!). Best part of all! They sent me nail polish. The OPI Swiss Mini's and OPI What's With the Cattitude? I have that one already back home, but they sent it as my something blue! Isn't that sweet.They also sent me China Glaze C-C-Courage which I now have on as my NOTD. So check out tomorrow for a post on that.
