Ascalon and Princess Tears

Good evening lovelies

Half way through the week already :-). Hope you had a good day? As I mentioned yesterday I am currently away with work so this is a quick pre-scheduled post from me tonight.

I will let these beautiful pictures do the talking as with all the a-England polishes I have tried so far these two really are perfection to apply...

I started with a base of a-England Ascalon on my Little and Middle fingers and a base of Princess Tears on my Ring and Index fingers. Two easy coats of each polish and then you can stand back and admire the gorgeous holo hues.

Using some small lengths of striping tape I added a diagonal line design to my ring finger and a vertical line design on my index finger. I then painted one perfect coat of Ascalon over the full nail (including tape) and removed the strips while my nails was still wet.

Flash on...

Some simple and yet I love it :-)

I am so glad I decided not to stamp over these beautiful polishes as the delicate little stripes show how well they go together just perfectly.

a-england: A Couple of Beauties

Good evening lovelies!

Oh my goodness we had so much snow today! You literally could not see out of our windows at work - it was just white everywhere! I have to get home at lunchtime to let our doggies out and it took me 1 hour 20 mins to do just 12 miles. I finally made it back to work after a two hour lunch break and then spent another 1 hour 45 mins trying to get home again after work! Gridlock craziness.

Taking of craziness... I am crazy for these nails...

I started with two gorgeous coats of a-england Bridal Veil which is a black creme polish with lots of tiny holo flecks that show through beautifully.

Then using lots of striping tape I laid down different patterns on each finger and gently sponged the absolutely perfect a-england Princess Tears over the top half of each nail. I peeled off the striping tape while the polish was still wet to prevent any snags.

Below you can see swatches of beautiful Bridal Veil. One in natural light with no flash one with forced flash so you can appreciate the holo goodness :-)

As you can see below Princess Tears is a light lilac grey containing lots of silver holo. I cannot wait to wear this one as a base colour, the formula is perfection and the colour shift quite stunning.

Aren't these two polishes just stunning together? I am in love with the formula of a-england. So much so, that I have just ordered another six polishes from this collection even though I still have four sitting in my untrieds!
