Showing posts with label holographic

Hello girls,

today I have here review of my last A England polish - Tristam. I usually don't wear blue polishes but Tristam is holographic! I love everything hologhraphic so it was must-have for me! I have my eye on some other A England shades like Perceval, Elaine and Camelot....oh and Lancelot is one not to miss! Really dark vampy red that is almost black! But back to the Tristam.

Tristam -denim blue packed with fine hologhraphic particles. A England describes Tristam as 'night blue sky with starlight glimmer and glow'.I've used one coat of OPI base coat just in case (blue polishes very often colour nails together with red and green ones). Formula of the polish was just fabulous! Great pigmentation and smooth and shiny finish. I've applied two coats for a full coverage. Removal was without problems despite the tons of holo particles.

Overall I'm very pleased with Tristam and it's formula and would definitely recommend it! I had some bad experiences with applying holo polishes but not with this one!

Hi girls!

today I have here real eye candy for you! My first A England polish I've ever tried - Lady Of The Lake!

If you haven't heard about A England brand before it's a real shame, the polishes are just great! A England is a creation of Adina Bodana. The A England launch was just on the 8th January 2011 so it's a very young nail polish brand, it is 3 free and salon quality formula, not tested on animals. The current collection is not extensive but there should be more shades in the future. But I can tell you now that there are some awesome polishes there! Oh and there is free worldwide delivery!!!

Lady Of The Lake - cool-toned hologhraphic purple. The holographic particles are tiny and the rainbow effect is not over the top and that makes this shade useable for a daily wearing. I have many holographs with strong holo effect so it's nice to have something subtle as well.

The formula is really great! The pigmentation is good so I applied the first thicker coat and was really hesitant if I need to apply the second coat. I did so there are two coats in the pictures :) Polish dried quite fast and was easy to apply. I wore this polish for 4 days and experienced really minor chipping, basically just the edges of the nails. So another point for the long lasting formula. Removal was easy as well, no annoying holo particles on my cuticles.

Overall this is definitely must have polish if you like purples!
