I like everything about Eyeko’s Rain Polish; I like the name, I like the shape of the bottle, I like the label and I like the colour. This is the fourth shade that I’ve tried, the first three being ‘Posh’, ‘Coral’ and ‘Petite’ (a very pretty pale pink).

The shade, as someone pointed out on Monday, is almost the same colour as ‘Blu-Tack’, but it’s a very sophisticated Blu-Tack; not too bright, not garish, and certainly not ‘sickly pastel’. I’m going to call it “Bleu-taque”. The polish goes on very easily, and two coats is definitely plenty.

I would normally keep a ‘non-neutral’ polish shade on for about, oooh, thirteen minutes, so it says good things about Rain Polish that it managed to avoid extermination for a whole three days!
