Ever - 38 + various bases

First of all: hands on! I'm pretty sure to have made a lot of chaos with English grammar, so be patient! ;P
I didn't know this EVER Italian brand at all, until I've seen this post on Smalto Italiano blog, but I've never seen it in stores, and I had no idea how to find it... I was almost forgetting about these polishes, when I spotted them at an OVS store pretty far from my house, I was there by chance for the first time, infact. They were all amazing in bottle that I couldn't decide how many and which to buy! Eventually I choose two of them, and this is the first one.

Natural light


Artificial light

RING: EYEKO - VINTAGE - swatch here

● EVER - 38
Seriously? I can't decide if I like or not this polish! Alice from Mai senza smalto blog reviewed this one and she drew attention to the fact that it's pretty sheer and not very intense as seems in the bottle. Actually she's right and you can see her swatch here, so I decided to layer it over an opaque base, but I couldn't decide which was most fitted for it... So I tried 5 different mint polishes! The result is pretty good and the polish has shown the best of it, especially the pretty matte silver particles and few gold glitters. The color isn't a duochrome like I hoped, but it's a lovely mint green; it's more frost than I expected, but still pretty, and there aren't so many shade differences when you'll have layered this polish over other colors.
This wasn't a bad purchase, in the end, but I'm not 100% convinced, yet, sorry. ç__ç

Eyeko - Rain + stickers

I've already swatched this polish HERE. That time I've layered with holo glitters, this time I preferred keep the original creamy finish. I like this color,  it's one of my favorites, and I've ordered a very similar polish, since this Eyeko bottle is finishing. ç__ç

● EYEKO - RAIN

China Glaze made a very close color with a subtle shimmer in China Glaze - sea spray, but this shade is a trend this year and you can find a similar polish from any brand. It's classy, discreet, but it has character at the same time, it's perfect to become an evergreen for the future, don't you think?

● STICKERS

I bought this decal from a british eBayer: dowryqueen. They have stickers and other nail stuff, and you can find a lot of peculiar designs.

Eyeko - Vampira + Sinful Colors - Sugar Sugar + stencil

I bought this polish months ago but I didn't used it yet.

Until today, and it's a pity I didn't do it before, because it's pretty interesting.

● EYEKO - VAMPIRA

Pretty sheer after one coat, but totally opaque with the second one, and it's a dupe of China Glaze - Lubu Heels. Red shimmer is subtle and it's visible only in the light, but this "misterious" effect is charming. When it'll decide to show itself, of course. ;)

● SINFUL COLORS - 839 SUGAR SUGAR

They aren't exactly dupes, but this polish is very close to the famous China Glaze - ruby pumps. Beautiful, especially under sunlight.

● STENCIL - ESSENCE - NAIL ART DESIGNS - 01 HAVE FUN

I bought these stencils just for try, but I have to admit they are pretty, indeeed. 2 little tricks are useful for correct use: switch sticker on the hand few times before application on nail and don't wait after polish application. ^__^

Eyeko - Rain + China Glaze - Fairy Dust + stickers

Panic in the night! D: AHHAHAHAH ! I put these stickers on my nails and I forgot they were fluo so my cat played with them all the night! X°D

● EYEKO - RAIN

I'm veeeeery happy this shade (a dusty blue sky) is trendy right now, so I could find it easily from a lot of brands. China Glaze made it with a subtle shimmer in China Glaze - sea spray, for example.

● CHINA GLAZE - FAIRY DUST

I really love this top coat. It's a simple top coat with holographic glitters, but they are so sparkly and tiny that any polish reborns under it! Fairy Dust over this pale blue sky creates a classy combination, minimal and still not boring.

● STICKERS

I bought this decal (and others, of course :P) from an italian eBayer: lauraemirco. They have a huge catalog of stickers, with a lot of original designs.

This one gloves in the dark and I guess it's very simple to find on ebay or online shops.

Eyeko - Indigo + Nfu.Oh - 51

Nfu. Oh flakies are another must have. Absolutely! Combinations with other polishes are infinite, an endless fun! :D

● EYEKO - INDIGO

I like the final result of this shimmered blue, but I was a bit disappointed from it, because the first coat wasn't blue at all, but a sheer purple... Mmmh... I was perplex... Second and third layers has solved the "disappointment", but I was still hoping for a deeper formula. By the way, still pretty.

● NFU.OH - 51

Everyone loves this polish, and they have good reasons for this! I applied it over a blurple base because I thought to higlight the pink flakies better, but I was wrong. The flakies seem more red and green than purple with this option, but still amazing! I'll try over other colors, I swear!

Eyeko - Posh

Another konadicure, more discrete than others, and classy. I didn't wait enough before applying the final top coat, so result is not perfect about stamping polish, plus there are some of my cat's hair and cuticle were a bit dry. A disaster! By the way, idea was good at least! XD

● EYEKO - POSH

Taupe taupe taupe every day taupe! I love dusty colors, I love browns, I love cremes,  so I absolutely love this shade. Eyeko comes with small bottle (8,5 ml) but it has a cheap price and a good formula, although a bit strange: thick when you apply it, but it'll leveling when dries.

● CHANEL - PARADOXAL

I was surprised from Paradoxal: it's very fluid but it's great for stamping. Yeah!

● STAMPING - KONAD M73

Eyeko - Vintage + stamping

Ooooooh! I'm so proud for this konadicure! If you don't like it, I don't care, I'm too much proud I won't listen anything! XD

● EYEKO - VINTAGE

I love greens, and I especially love greens like mint or light jade or "what-the-fuck-is-this-green"? This polish is a bit strange: a bit thick when you apply it, but, when it dry, it will leveling by itself. Useful!

● KIKO - 300 PEARLY MALACHITE GREEN

Despite the name of this polish, it isn't pearly and it isn't green, and malachite neither! By the way, this polish is fabulous, really: fluid formula, deep shimmer, indefinite color... I really advice it: a must have!

● PUPA - 001 FRENCH MANICURE 

This is a polish for french tips, so it's perfect for stamping nail.

● STAMPING - KONAD M51
