A England Kalinka - Review & Swatches | Russian Soul Collection

Hello lovelies,

Let's pretend it's Autumn season already and I can finally dress my fingernails into a beautiful dusty purple holo - A England Kalinka*. I've received this polish few months back when the Summer was in full swing and I didn't get to it for a long time. But I can finally show you this stunner!

Kalinka is one of five new A England shades that form the Russian Soul collection. This collection is a tribute to Russian music and dance and all colours will be absolutely perfect for the Autumn/Winter season. Each shade has a subtle holographic effect which shows in direct sunlight.

Meet Kalinka...

At first glance, Kalinka is a grey metallic polish but after looking at it closer, it reveals gorgeous purple sheen and subtle holo effect. The formula was very easy to apply and it was fully opaque in two coats. It dried fast and glossy but can be little bit streaky. But after I applied top coat, any streaks blended nicely.

 

Kalinka was great like all previous A England polishes I've tried so I'm already looking forward to trying the other colours from the Russian Soul collection. If you'd like to get your hands on these polishes, you can purchase them at A England website and at various international stocklists.

 

I hope you've enjoyed today's review and have a lovely rest of the day! Lucie x
