A-England - Princess Sabra & Dragon

Hi!

Sadly today we reach the end of the SWATCH-STRAVAGANZA :( Hopefully once I get my hands on some Gothic Beauties, I'll be able to show you more A-England!

These are two amazing holographics from the Legends collection. First up is Princess Sabra, a yellow-bronze (?) holographic. I was sooo close to not buying this, but once I heard the story of how it's supposed to be the same colour as Adina's cat, Tristam's, eyes, I had to have it! They completely remind me of the colour of a cats eyes and I tried to take a photo of this polish next to one of the cats, but they weren't having it! Oh well.

Two coats in all the photos below.

Plus a picture of one of the kittens that we only looked after for one night before they went to their foster carer. I don't think we even named this little guy, but I think he was part of a litter that we had to give a bath and we separated the ones that loved the water and hated the water into Cray Cray's and Normies. It's so weird when kittens like being bathed especially because it was the first time I'd seen it in real life!


Pretty sure this one was a Cray Cray haha

The final Legend I have for you guys is Dragon! It's a green holographic, similar to Saint George, but Saint George is more of an emerald green/teal while Dragon is lighter and more....Dragon-y. Honestly I don't think you can look at this and not think 'Dragon', it reminds me of all the movies where the dragon flies around and the sun shines off their scales.

Dragon can indeed be a one coater to all people who are in a rush! On my pointer and middle finger I've got 1 coat and on my ring and little finger I've got two. The extra coat makes it sightly darker and makes the holographic stand out a little bit more, but the difference isn't that big.

So no more A-England :( Well until I give in and buy all the Gothic Beauties + Bridal Veil!

You can buy A-England from their website here with free shipping, or you can go to Llarowe where she has some of the Gothic Beauties up already!

Next up I've got all the indie polishes that arrived in the past couple of weeks when I went nuts buying from Llarowe and Etsy haha.

See you next time!

A-England - Excalibur & Holy Grail

Hi!

So it's day 2 of the A-England SWATCH-STRAVAGANZA! Today I've got the two metallics from the Mythicals collection to show you.

First up is Excalibur, a perfect silver polish! I initially got this just for a stamping polish, but I'm sure that I'll wear it as a full manicure quite often. I love how I can just imagine the sword Excalibur being this shiny haha! The formula was great, pretty much a one coater, but I used two for the pictures below just because I hadn't put on a basecoat and you could see all my nail ridges.

Now Holy Grail! I'm not really a gold person, and I have no idea why this made my hands look so lobster red in photos, but I actually like this colour! I also got this one to be used as a stamping polish, but I'm not sure how good it would be, these photos were taken with 3 coats.

I think I'm probably more a silver person than a gold person, are there people can can suit both? If so, I wish I was one of them haha!

See you again tomorrow!
