Polish Days Sentimental Polish (feat a-england)

And here we are again, Polish Days.  Thanks again to the lovely Hannah of Polly Polish for putting this all together.  Octobers theme is Sentimental Polish which Hannah was nice enough to let us interpret in our own way, but using her words here is the idea behind it 'maybe there is one polish that started it all, a polish you went through hell and high water to get your paws on, some nail art that reminds you of someone you love, or simply a polish that you would return to a burning building to rescue'

I decided to go with the 'one polish that started it all' theme, but not the first polish that started my collection, the first polish that gave me the push I needed to start my blog.

Before I discovered a-england, my collection was almost exclusively Nails Inc but a-england was a very welcome discovery to me and made the thought that had been at the back of my head about wanting to start a blog jump right to the front.

Now this wasn't the first a-england to be featured on my blog, but it was the first one I purchased, Lady of the Lake.  Now after much thought I decided just to show you the Lady again alone, even though you have seen her here, and many other places, one more post on such a beauty can't hurt.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Lady of the Lake and 1 of the Shield.





Thank you for looking and please see below for the other ladies participating in this months Polish Days.

Nails Inc Brick Lane Graffiti

I have for you today one of the polishes from the new Nails Inc Graffiti line, Brick Lane which is a monochrome glitter polish.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Kensington Park Road, 1 of Brick Lane, 1 of Glitter Food and 1 of the Shield.

Glitter Food is a topcoat designed for glitter that is made by NailPatternBoldness and is sold on Llarowe.  I am amazed at how well one coat of this smoothes out glitters.  The only thing is, it dries matte, which is actually quite a nice finish but to get a glossy look I topped with one coat of the Shield.






The Graffiti and other Nails Inc polishes can be purchased from the official site.

Thanks for looking <3

a-england Lady of Shalott

I have for you today the last of the a-england Gothic Beauties, Lady of Shallott, inspired by the poem of the same name.

Lady of Shalott has the same black base, but this time with a bluey purple shimmer.

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






Lady of Shalott is the a-england Gem of the Month so I figured what a great time to show it off.

a-englands can be purchased from the official site or from Llarowe.

Thanks for looking <3
