A-England - Galahad & Perceval

Hi!

Today I'm starting the week long A-England SWATCH-STRAVAGANZA! I'm so excited to show you all of the polishes I've gotten in the past few weeks! I'll start with the polishes from A-England's first collection, the Myhicals.

I decided that I should start with one of A-England's most famous colours; Galahad. It's the most amazing creme and so hard to define! People have called it just plain blue, on the A-England website they describe it as a 'blue-green'. I think it could maybe be called a dark turquoise? It's also super pigmented and I probably could have gotten away with only one coat, but this is two.

Galahad was one of the first A-England polishes I got a few months ago, along with Tristam, and I've worn it about 5 times I think, the most I've ever worn a polish! Haha

Next is Perceval, because I'm sure that every collection needs a great red! For some reason this reminds me of Christmas, maybe the shimmer? Nevertheless it's also really pigmented, and although I could have used just one coat, using two makes it pop more.

These both had a great formula, not too thick or too thin and have a great drying time.

You can buy A-England polishes from their website at www.a-england.co.uk, where there's free shipping!! Have you guys seen the new Gothic Beauties collection that's coming out this week? They look amazing!

See you tomorrow with some more Mythicals!

A-England - Iseult

Hi again!

It's been so long! I've been wallowing because two of the nails on my swatching hand broke while I was at work last weekend! They're so short and I refuse to make the other good fingers suffer because the other two were weak haha, I imagine that I'll give in and file them down though because it looks a little weird lol!

Today I've got A-England Isuelt to show you. Isuelt is a stunning pale pink with a pearly, sometimes looking blue, shimmer. This colour is perfect for workplaces, I wore it to an interview the other day and it was great!

Apologies for how horrible my cuticles look there! Omg! I didn't even notice when I was taking these photos.

Application and drying time were great, the photos were taken with two coats which is great for a light colour, sometimes they can need up to 3 coats.

I also just got all of my A-England polishes from the sale the other day! So I think I'll be on an A-England polish spree haha! I think  I have 17 of the Mythicals & Legends and I can't wait to swatch them for you guys!
