    I won’t say too much about this polish. It applies like dream in two coats like all the holographics from The Legend collection. It’s close to a nude shade but slightly more yellow than beige if you know what I mean. I’ve been saving my favourite colour from The Legend collection to show last so that will be posted very soon. It is pure beauty in a bottle. Can you guess which one it is?!

    All That Glitters Is Gold

    I know nail art posts have been scarce around here recently but I’m really low on ideas! I’ve mostly been wearing black on my nails because I’m going through a bit of a moody phase haha. Black and gold such a good combination to wear on your nails when you want to rock the dark look but glam it up and not look too gothic.
    I finally got around to updating my Stamping Polishes page today so head on over if you want to see my list of regular polishes that work for stamping. You can find the page any time in the sidebar about half way down the page under the ‘features’ heading.
    I used A-England Lancelot as a base and a gold glitter Kiss Nail Striper that my bestie brought me back from a trip to Canada to paint the tips. The rhinestone is from the Mash wheel and I used two top coats of NYC In A New York Minute to finish it off.

    A-England The Legend: Princess Tears Swatch

    I don’t know if anyone noticed but I made a huge mistake in yesterdays post. Well technically the whole post was a mistake because it was a Pink Wednesday post and yesterday was a Thursday. I spent the whole day going about my business wholeheartedly believing it was Wednesday and it wasn’t until I was lying in bed that I realised I’d made a huge mistake.
    Moving swiftly on! Today’s swatch is of A-England‘s Princess Tears from the holographic collection – The Legend. This is a lilac purple with glints of pastel holo. This is one of my favourites of the collection (from the ones I own anyway) because it’s so pretty and easy to wear and once you get it in the sunlight it’s completely mesmerising.

    A-England The Legend: Bridal Veil Swatch

    Bridal Veil is another holographic polish from A-England‘s Legend collection. It’s a black holo and these pictures absolutely suck at showing it’s holo-ness!
    In sunlight this polish gleams with emerald green and more subtle hints of every other colour on the spectrum.  As you can see, under artificial light it looks like a glass flecked black. B-E-A-Utiful!
    I’ve noticed that clicking pictures, in chrome at least, brings up a kind of slideshow which is a cool new feature but the pictures are still not very big. If you want to see the highest resolution picture possible, you can right-click on the picture in the post and select ‘Open link in new tab’, ‘Open link in new window’ or ‘Open image in new tab’ and you should be presented with a much bigger picture. I hope this info comes in handy for anyone that didn’t know, and it will work on most blogs and websites.

    A-England The Legend: Dragon Swatch

    A-England’s ‘The Legend’ collection is a very hotly anticipated collection of 7 holographic polishes which finally went on sale this month. The colours in this collection were brought to life by Adina – the heart and soul of the brand – with just as much passion and care as The Mythicals collection.
    I have a few colours from this collection to share with you this week and first on the list is Dragon – an earthy green holographic.

    Sorry for the artificial light pictures but sunlight is hard to come by in Britain in the early months. In natural light, the holographic effect is much more obvious.

    The Legend collection is available now from a-england.co.uk with free worldwide shipping.

    Baroque is pretty much my favourite kind of pattern ever! I’m immediately drawn to anything that’s covered in it so, naturally I love to wear it on my nails but for some reason I’ve never tried this colour combination before. My god it’s beautiful.
