Hello lovelies,

 

I'm majorly behind with posting new nail polish releases (you know, busy life and all ;) so you've probably seen this polish before but because it's very pretty I want to review it anyway!

 

So what polish am I talking about? A England Whispering Waves of course, one of the two new additions to the Heavenly Quotes line! Let's check it out first...

Whispering Waves is a turquoise blue  polish with fine holo finish. What's even more interesting about his shade is that it has a slight duochrome effect as well. In the right angle it leans towards denim blue and pink. For some reason my camera didn't capture the beautiful soft holo effect nor the full colour shift. BUT if you'll buy the polish you'll be very pleasantly surprised at how much prettier it is in real life.

 

The formula was the perfect buttery A England formula that we all so love. It applied very easily and two thin coats were fully opaque. The polish dried fast and smooth but I still applied topcoat for the swatch. The only problem I found was staining - I have had all nails with peel-off base with no staining and one nail where I haven't used any base coat and there I've experienced blue staining. So please use thicker base coat with this polish!

You really can't go wrong with A England. This is just another in a row of beautiful polishes and I'm so glad I got to try it. I'd also recommend you to check out To Emily Bronte collection, it's full of ah-mazing colours!

 

Whispering Waves and other collections are available at A England website or from one of the international distributors.

 

Hope you've enjoyed today's review and I'll see you soon! Lucie x

Hello lovelies!

 

The kind ladies from piCture pOlish have sent me another beautiful polish called Bordeaux and it is the perfect vampy red for me (I can't get enough of red polishes)! Bordeaux is a 2015 collaboration shade by Nil Nails and it features the signature bijou finish.

Bordeaux is a dark vampy red with a hint of berry undertones and bijou effect. The bijou effect has a mixture of shimmer and holo particles that make any polish look amazing! The formula was really good and I have nothing bad to say about it. It applied well, no clumps, streaks nor patching. Two coats were nicely opaque and I've used top coat in the pictures as well. The finish is glossy and smooth without topcoat but it is not optional, right? ;) It's a beautiful polish and I loved wearing it!
