A-England - Lady of the Lake & Tristam

Hi!

Finally! The two holographics of the Mythicals Collection! Tristam was one of the other polishes I got in my first A-England haul a few months ago, and I just had to get his purple sister Lady of the Lake!

Unfortunately they're more of a scattered holo instead of linear, but that doesn't make them any less beautiful! Both of them have great application & drying time going on in two easy coats and drying in about 15 minutes without a quick dry top coat!

Onto the pictures! First up is Lady of the Lake:

Isn't it pretty! I loooove purples, but for some reason I don't wear them that much, which is crazy! Next up is the gorgeous Tristam! The best way to describe this colour is denim. This looks exactly like blue jeans, and would be great for Jeans for Genes Day (is that a day in America? I think it's sometime in October here).

One thing that I've completely forgotten to mention in previous posts is removal. These didn't stain my nails at all even though they were super pigmented. Although I've never really had staining problems except for reds & China Glaze Atlantis.

Tomorrow I'll show the first half of my Legends collection! I'll leave you with a photo of the new phone covers I got from eBay this week. A kitty and chocolate! Best things in the world I think haha!

A-England - Elaine & Guinevere

Hi!

Omg! I completely forgot to post yesterday. Uni's been so annoying. Group work = death!

Continuing on the A-England SWATCH-STRAVAGANZA, I've got two beautiful purples from the Mythicals collection.

First up is Elaine (not the one from Seinfeld, although I'm sure she'd rock this colour), a gorgeous dark purple creme, it's kind of eggplant-y (?) and would be great for autumn I think. This is two easy coats. No idea why this made my hand look so red in the sunlight again, but it didn't look like that in real life haha

Now, one of my favourites of the bunch, Guinevere! A light grey-purple/lilac creme. The perfect counterpart to Elaine because I think this one would rock spring. Or winter. Or any season haha. Again, two easy coats.

Purple has to be on of my favourite colours, it goes with every outfit and suits everyone!

Now I'll have to get back to this stupid assignment! See you tomorrow!

Girly Bits: Purple Potion. My first ever indie!

Hi again!

Today I'm going to show you my first ever indie polishes I recently got from Llarowe!


Girly Bits Stormy Skies & Purple Potion

First off, Purple Potion. This is seriously the best purple glitter I've ever seen. Especially with the little holographic glitter particles in it. I should also note that it's in a clear base.

(Blurred direct sunlight for sparkly goodness)

In all pictures I've got 3 coats and a top coat. It is a top coat eater, so with one layer it still felt a little bumpy. Another problem was the fact that I'm super messy and glitter is a pain to clean up hahaha. Drying time and application were really good, it dried quite quickly, probably in about 15 minutes even with the 3 coats.

I legit can't want to layer this on some polishes. All I need now is more purples!

Tomorrow I'll post the swatches of Stormy Skies! See you then!

Rollo loooves Purple Potion!
