a-england Lady of the Lake and Tristam Swatches and Review

A couple of months ago, a new nail polish brand was created, with an entire concept and alluring shades, if you missed on my presentation of a-england, you can still see it here.
Today I'll be reviewing two nail polishes from their medieval inspired collection, both scattered holos.

From left to right :
Lady of the Lake
Tristram
Lady of the Lake, dark purple,  and Tristam, navy blue, could be compared to OPI DS Extravagance in terms of finish, only with smaller particles. They both share the same nice formula and application, 2 smooth and easy fast drying coats. The holo effect is subtle in dim light but still visible enough to make them interesting and if you take them outside, you'll even see a tiny linear holo.

Overall :

For a new brand a-england really got it right, the 2 nail polishes I ordered are flawless : 2 dark, mysterious, yet rich holos, shipped the same day I placed my order!
Now I can't wait to try a few more... Lancelot, Galahad and Guinevere maybe ;-)
Beware big companies, there's a new girl in town and she's really good!

    Thanks for sharing!
