A England - Saint George

It's now time to show the second bottle of A England I got and which I've showed in a gradient here. This time it's time to show it alone and it's very pretty even though the holo is very subtle and not visible in all lights. In my opinion the color feels very much like pine forest and I really enjoyed wearing it. The formula is wonderful to use and below is 2 coats. Perfect for holo Friday, don't you think? :)







Here I have a photo without any holo effect (i.e. natural cloudy light) and I think it still looks really nice.
All photos except the last one is in flourecent light. And the polish was bought from ninjapolish for some couple of years ago.

Green holo gradient

Here I have something beautiful for you to show; a green holo gradient. Or well, the holos from A England are as usual super subtle so there is more of a hint of holo giving the whole nail art some great depth. I like this color combo, it feels very forest like with the bluish green feeling like pine and the green towards yellow being like leaf trees or something. For more holo polishes, check out Skimmerskuggan with her Holo Friday. :)

A England - Dragon, swatch

It's Friday and I figured that I could join Holo Friday with the first A England polish I bought; Dragon. It looked so lovely on swatches. Now it sounds like I bought it recently but it is more than a year ago I bought it, maybe turning into two years now. And it has just been laying in my Helmer drawer, waiting..you see, it looks a bit boring in the bottle..The moss green color isn't boring but I didn't see any holo.

Now I've finally got around wearing it and it looks much more holographic on the nails than in the bottle. However it's a very scattered holo, no lines of the rainbow spectra. Anyhow, below is two of the most easy coats ever, the formula is like butter. As I said the color is moss green and the polish has many faces. In the bottle there is some golden duochrome tendencies but that doesn't transcribe onto the nails, even though I guess the warmness in the color come from that. In clouded shadow the holo looks gray (as holo always do when there's no light to reflect in it) and the green feels cold. All in all it's a beautiful color.







Do you like A England in general, or maybe you even have Dragon? What is your oldest untried in your collection?
