A-England - Dragon

Allo!

I know you ladies have seen swatches of today's polish about a thousand and three times, but I just couldn't resist finally bustin' this bad boy out! Dragon is one of the new(er) A-England polishes that I've always wanted, so finding it for a steal on a blog sale was meant to be! I though the holo-ness would be as prominent as in Lady Of The Lake, but I have to admit, I was just a tad disappointed that it didn't show up as much in Dragon. Still a gorgeous green polish with amazing A-England formula. Two coats.





Do you like Dragon?

Layering Fun - A England Elaine & Nail Fetish Pixie Dust

Hi! 


I hope you all had a great week - work has been nuts. Sheesh! :/ To brighten things up, today I have an amazing purple polish to share - A England's Elaine from the Mysticals collection. I've had this deep, smoky purple lovely in my stash for a while now, back when Adina was having one of her sales. I normally am not a fan of cremes by themselves, but this polish completely stands on it's own SO WELL! The formula with Elaine, as well as all of Adina's creations are - as you all know - completely perfection. Seriously - perfection. There's no other way I can think to describe it! :P This is easily a one-coater. As I can never seem to stop there, this is two. I tried to capture it in different lighting for you. :)




And of course - seeing as I can never leave well enough and alone and have an issue with glitter - I layered one coat of Nail Fetish's Pixie Dust. I came across a slew of Dollar Tree's with Nail Fetish's a few months past and stocked up and every single one I could! One of the first I picked up was Pixie Dust. I've tried to research more on these polishes, but one can imagine what Google pulls up for "Nail Fetish". I had no such luck, other than I believe they're from around the same time as Street Wears. Sure, it's clear base has turned a murky grey, but when layered over a dark beauty like Elaine one can hardly tell! Plus, when there's multi-sized holo glitter involved - WHO CARES?! :D 




Vintage glitter. Gets me every time.

A-England - Avalon

Hello, dolls!
Today I have one of the few AMAZING A-England I have in my stash from the Mythicals Collection - Avalon. The last time I swatched this bad boy I hated the way I photographed the color and scrapped the pics. Adina is the genius behind A-England's jaw-dropping polishes and she so one of the sweetest gals ever! The Legend Collection is now available as well - HOLO GOODNESS! Good-bye next paycheck! :) Enjoy Avalon!



Avalon is the brightest purple I own. To describe it's glow is almost impossible. Yes - it's THAT amazing. A-England's have HANDS FREAKIN DOWN the best formula of any polish. EVER. Smooth as can be, they almost paint themselves. Adina - it's no surprise your polishes are as loved as they are. Avalon could have easily been a one coater, but I have a one-coat issue and can never stop at one. Did I mention Avalon wore like iron? In love! I can't wait to place my Legend's order! 




*drools uncontrollably* 
Have a wonderful day!

A-England - Lady of the Lake

 Hello my lovlies!

This, ladies, is the polish that started it all. Nail blogging that is! :D I have been a fan of polish since I was a little girl, but until recently I never knew nail blogs existed. Before I started my own blog and only followed others, I saw this baby pop up on blogs EVERYWHERE! I knew I had to have it. Once I got my claws on it, I knew it was too amazing to keep to myself and I wanted to share my passion. And here I am! :P


I don't even know where to start with this beauty! Color? Lady of the Lake is a great amethyst shade of purple PACKED with fine holographic glitter. It's too beautiful for words. Application? Sorry RBL, but A-England has you beat by just a hair with flawless application. It literally almost paints itself on. Smooth like butter and unlike any other formula I've tried yet. This baby could have easily been a one-coat wonder (the last time I wore it I only used one) but this time I went with two coats for my outdoor shots. As you can tell, I'm just in awe of this polish. :)


LOTL came out in A-England's The Mythicals Collection, there were 15 polishes total. My wishlist pretty much contains them all! The Mythicals can be purchased at www.a-england.co.uk
