Swatch: eye CANDY - Colour Flip

Hi ladies! Ever since eye CANDY London sent me Liquid Gold to review, I have been desperately trying to find the remaining three Colour Flip polishes I needed but unfortunately I live in a small town with a limited 'beauty range' in my local Sainsburys so I've never been able to find them! However, last weekend I was on my way to catch the ferry over to Bruges and stopped at a random Sainsburys store to stock up on some snacks for our overnight trip and whilst I was there I thought I would check out their beauty section to see if they had any in stock, loan behold they had ALL of them! Since you're reading this post, I obviously snagged them all.

For those of you who haven't seen any of my previous eye CANDY London posts here's a little bit of background behind the brand; Originally only sold in selected Sainsburys stores, eye CANDY London is a 3-free brand which is sourced, created, designed & manufactured in the UK and offers high end quality without the price tag. They have since become available for purchase from Amazon.co.uk & Sainsburys online as well as distributors in Holland, Italy and Finland, which will be announced in the upcoming months! Now that's out the way, lets get on to the swatches!!


SWATCHES AFTER THE JUMP!

Swatch: eye CANDY - Liquid Gold

Hi ladies! So you may remember I posted a Press Release for the new eye CANDY Nail Polishes which are being released into larger Sainsburys stores around the UK, well today I have one of three eye CANDY polishes to show you! I won't bore you with a super long intro, but I will quickly give you a little information about eye CANDY nail polishes!

"eye CANDY London, formulated for an ultra-glossy, long-lasting finish, created by our very distinctive and innovative flair.
Housed in chic packaging, these instant beauty boosters are designed to enhance your nails transforming your look from ordinary, to extraordinary!"

Did you know that:
  • eye CANDY London polishes are proudly sourced, created, designed & manufactured in the UK!
  • eye CANDY London polishes have a professional OPI base, as they are both manufactured in the same factory!
  • eye CANDY London polishes are housed in an Italian Glass bottle, just like that of Chanel!
  • eye CANDY London polishes are also 3 free!
  • eye CANDY London polishes are currently available in 408 Sainsburys stores Nationwide!

So now that you all have a little information on eye CANDY, let's get on to the swatches! Here is one of the four Colour Flip polishes in the collection, Liquid Gold.
Liquid Gold is a gorgeous dark, metallic Gold with a Blue/Green duochrome effect. There's been a lot of these floating around the polish world lately, ever since the infamous Chanel - Peridot was released in the Autumn of 2011, from brands such as OPI, Jessica, Ciaté and soon to be China Glaze. Unfortunately, I don't own any of the above so I can't compare them for you, but from what I can see, they do look similar. The formula of eye CANDY polishes are amazing, they glide on like butter and from what I can see, they are all very pigmented and have a quick drying time, which is perfect for when you're on the go!
