Eyeko Shades Spring/Summer 2010: Tea Rose, Coral & Posh

Yesterday I showed you 3 re-promoted shades from Eyeko, and today I have 3 of the 5 new shades they've introduced for Spring/Summer 2010.

Above: Tea Rose is a muted darker shade of Carnation pink with a slight hint of mauve. This work-safe creme is still vibrant enough to satisfy me.
Below: Coral is a reddish-orange coral that applies on the nail a little darker and more orange toned than how it appears in the bottle. I love corals of all shades, and this one is no exception.
Below: Posh, a medium taupe creme that doesn't seem to be an exact match to any other taupes I have (Can one have too many taupes? I don't think so!), covered perfectly in 2 coats.
Below: A bottle comparison to some other taupe shades L-R Rimmel Steel Grey, Eyeko Posh, American Apparel Mouse, Orly Prince Charming.
Below: Eyeko also included one of their Graffiti Eye Liner Pens in Fierce Purple. It has a felt tip end for easy control of the application, and they're smudge-proof, fade-proof, and long lasting. These retail for $8.00 and are also available in Navy, Black and Brown.
Below: I swatched the eye pen on my hand and it is highly pigmented. It didn't come off with soap and water, but removed well with my eye make up remover.
I haven't used the eye liner pen yet other than swatching it, so I can't comment on how it wears, although it dried quickly and is packed with color, so it certainly seems like it would wear well. The polishes really impressed me with their application, and I am happy with all of the shades. The formula on these is creamy and perhaps ever so slightly on the thick side, but that actually helped with the application. The brushes seem to pick up a lot of polish, but because of the consistency of the formula, it's very easy to control the amount that goes on the nail. I'd say what impressed me the most about these, is how pigmented they are and how evenly they cover in just 2 coats. There were a couple of them that actually covered to a wearable finish in just one coat. These retail for $5.00 each, and although the bottle size is smaller than the standard 0.5, (Eyeko's are 0.3 fl. oz.), the quality of the formula is definitely above average.
