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!

OPI Designer...De Better!

Hi again!


This is one polish that I had to buy the full size after getting the mini-pack because it was so shiny and pretty! Designer...de Better! is a gorgeous silver foil with bronze flecks throughout it.

It's hard to really capture all the bronze flecks in it, but I think these photos show how shiny it is! In person it has quite a mirror finish so even though in the photos you can see a couple of nails are starting to get little cracks in them on the tips from typing, you can't even tell.


The formula was great! This is two coats and these photos were taken after wearing it for 3 days.


If you see a bottle of this available somewhere, pick it up! Especially considering that there's no dupes that I know of on the market at the moment.


I think that the next polishes I swatch will probably be A-England. The combination of being sick and the sale on the Mythicals Collection lead me to buy 15 polishes!
