glass flecks - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

This is one of my older manicures that I didn't show you yet. I've got few gorgeous Catrice polishes and this is the result!

I've used Return Of Space Cowboys over A England Camelot, next I've applied one coat of ¿Holo Qué Tal?! and mattified with MASH Matte polish. When everything dried I've cut strips of tape and applied them to the nails. I've painted over with A England Camelot and removed the tape. I haven't applied topcoat to keep the matte - gloss contrast.

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...

Lucy's Stash - A England Holy Grail and Beauty Never Fails

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.
