Hello lovelies,

Have you seen the new A England polish yet? It is called Hurt No Living Thing and it's an addition to the Heavenly Quotes line. I will be pairing it up with re-released version of Excalibur, now renamed to Excalibur (Renaissance).

Hurt No Living Thing is a sheer grey-ish base with fine magenta shimmer and a bit of blue shimmer. It is designed to be layered over other polishes and it's nicely buildable.

A England Hurt No Living Thing - Review & Swatches

The formula was easy to work with and not very thick so even when layered, the polish doesn't create thick layer. It dries fast and glossy without streaky finish. I've layered Hurt No Living Thing over Camelot to show how opaque the polish is in one or two coats.

I'm really glad that the original Excalibur (silver metallic colour) is being re-released. It's my favourite silver polish and I use it for nail art and stamping because of its excellent pigmentation. Hurt No Living Thing might not look amazing over lighter polishes but it certainly comes to life over darker base and it's a nice addition to the A England family.

A England polishes including Camelot used in the last photo, are available at A England website and their stocklists.

Hello lovelies,

I'm sure all of us face this dreadful problem all the time - you painted a pretty nail art on your nails and now you need to do it on your dominant hand! Well, I've decided to share one of the tricks to recreating intricate patterns on your other hand. The trick is to paint the design on decals first as I will demonstrate in the tutorial.

So I will be creating this mix & match floral pattern on both of my hands with the help of decals...
