Hello lovelies,

I know I've already posted today but I totally forgot that today is the No H8 Day. I just want to show my support. I do not approve of any kind of bullying , in real life nor online. So this is my purple manicure for the No H8 Day - Models Own Purple Pearl.

Bullying is not funny. It is not cool. It is not right. And more importantly, it is not okay.
Most of us are, thankfully, residents of countries that support tolerance and many of our families have settled in these places simply for that reason. Generations later, it is our responsibility to perpetuate that message of tolerance across our new social platforms, including the internet.

As members of the nail polish blogging community, we all share a love of beauty, color, and lacquer. Other than that, we are remarkably different: from our race to our religion to our hair color...even to our polish application techniques. To marginalize anyone because of those differences is completely unacceptable and today I take a stand against that. I refuse to allow other people's view of "normal" dictate how I behave, believe, and blog.

In solidarity with a multitude of bloggers linked below, my purple manicure represents my proud commitment to the No H8 movement. Today, November 8, I dedicate my post to ending bullying of any kind and to encouraging diversity and imperfection among our colorful community.

Hello lovelies,

As you probably know by now British indie brand A England has recently introduced two new shades. The first shade is a re-vamped version of Holy Grail and the second one is a brand new shade called Beauty Never Fails. So let's have a look at both...

Holy Grail - antique gold with olive green undertones. The finish of this polish is shimmery metallic. Its formula is great as I would expect from A England polish. It applied very easily, the polish levelled itself out nicely and the pigmentation is excellent. I'm wearing two coats which are fully opaque. I've experienced very light streaking but that said is just be nit-picking. It dried reasonably fast and I did not use a topcoat as the polish was nice and shiny.

I will compare the original and this new Holy Grail in the next post.

Beauty Never Fails - dark green base with gold and olive green fine flecks. This shade is simply stunning! It is not as dark as the Gothic Beauties thanks to loads of the flecks that brighten the polish. The formula is really good - it just flows on the nail. The polish stayed where I've applied it meaning it's not watery. One thicker coat was almost enough for a perfect coverage but in the end I've applied second coat. Same as the Holy Grail, Beauty Never Fails also dried quite fast. The amount of flecks in the polish might cause more difficult removal.
