Nails Inc Hatton Garden over a-england Lancelot

Today we have two pretties I have already shown you alone, but this is a mani I wore on a recent night out, and that was very hastily painted just before going out so apologies.

It is just a quick pop in tonight to show this to you so I'll stop the chatting there and just get to the pictures.  These pictures were taken the day after and this mani then lasted another few days before chipping, not bad for a rushed job.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 1 coat of a-england Lancelot (original post here) with 1 coat of Nails Inc Hatton Garden from the Glitteratti Collection (original post here) with 1 coat of the Shield.






a-england Lancelot can be purchased from the official a-england site here or from Llarowe here.

The Glitterati collection is still on the Nails Inc site here, in their 'get it or regret it' section, and is priced at £18 (was originally £25)

Thanks for looking <3 xxx

Ozotic 531 over a-england Lancelot

I have for you today one of the lovely 'Mish Mash' polishes in the Ozotic line, which is also from the lovely Llarowe.

These polishes are two kinds of awesome, they are Multichrome and Holographic. 531 shifts from a burgundy red, to copper with hints of purple and green too, but is also a linear holo at the same time.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 1 of Lancelot, 2 of 531 and 1 of the Shield.








This polish can be bought from Llarowe, unfortunately, it is out of stock at the time of writing this post but according to the site a new Ozotic shipment is due in on the 18th January.

Thanks for looking xx

This polish was sent to me for review.

Lynnderella Ruby Red Ruby over a-england Lancelot

I am loving these Lynnderella polishes so much right now, and I hope you all are too.  I am so happy with all the ones I got from Llarowe and Ruby Red Ruby is no exception.

Here is the description of this polish:

From last year’s holiday collection. Looks like foil candy wrappers. Multiple sizes of red hexagons and squares in a sheer red base. One or two coats over your favourite red is the easiest way to wear her

I decided not to follow the advice given here, I am sure it would be stunning over a Red (might need to try it with Perceval...) but I really wanted to wear this one over Lancelot.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 1 of Lancelot, 2 of Ruby and 1 of the Shield.








I love this combo, the blackened red base of Lancelot is just stunning with the ruby red of the Lynnderella.

As always, thanks for looking <3

Ozotic 520 and a-england Lancelot

I want to start this post by saying a big thank you to you all for your kind words and well wishes, it has meant so much to me that you cared enough to leave even a few sweet words.  I still have a lot going on and won't be back 'full time' for a little while yet but I had some pretties already photographed and sitting in my archive that I thought I would take a minute to show you.

I am still not up for saying a lot but I think this pretty multichrome from Llarowe speaks for itself.  Here is 2 coats of Ozotic 520 over a-england Lancelot.

The Complete a-england Mythicals Collection

Wow, 100 followers on GFC, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who looks at and takes an interest in my blog.  I know there are so many amazing ones out there so I appreciate each person that stops here.  My thanks are obviously for you all - GFC followers, Facebook likers, Twitter and Bloglovin followers, email subscribers and even just the passers by.

I have had this post planned for a while but wanted to wait until GFC got to 100 to publish it, as anyone who comes to visit Pandora's Nails will know, I love a-england polishes and have shown each of the Mythicals in at least one post already, but I thought for ease of reference it would be good to have them all in the one place..............I also really enjoyed trying them all on at the one time and creating all the different combos.

I will show you today all of the Mythicals alone first (2 coats), then with 1 coat of Morgan Le Fay and again with 1 coat of Merlin.  The Knight was used as a base coat on all polishes, but I decided not to use top coat of any of them to show you just how sparkly they are alone, so the bottle I am holding is the Shield so it wasn't completely left out.

Incase any of you are wondering, I chose the order of the swatches based on the order of the polishes on the a-england website, which is how they are stored in my case too.  I will also link to each polishes individual post using their name incase anyone wants to look further.

First we have King Arthur, Excalibur, Iseult, and Guinevere.


Then with Morgan Le Fay.


Then with Merlin.




With Morgan Le Fay.


With Merlin.


And then we have Camelot, Avalon, Perceval, Galahad and Holy Grail.


With Morgan Le Fay.


With Merlin.


Thank you all for looking once again <3 xxx

a-england Lancelot

Today I have for you a-england Lancelot.  This is described on the a-england website as 'the blackest red' which is completely accurate as this is not an almost black colour, this is a black polish with a very slight hint of red to it.  I love it as it seems to give the polish slightly more depth.

It is also no different from other a-england polishes in the fact that the formula is amazing, it is completely opaque in 1 coat and has no streaks.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish, and 1 of the Shield.






In case you are wondering how this compares to Camelot, I have also included a quick comparison for you.  I will say here that they are very similar but I am happy to own both as the slight hint of red makes all the difference for someone who loves dark polishes.

I borrowed the swatches and names to label the colours from the a-england website (hope you don't mind Adina) <3

This is 2 coats of each with 1 coat of the Shield and the bottle I am holding is Lancelot.


Hope you like and feel free to leave me a comment <3 xx
