Whenever I hear about a new A England release, my heart skips a bit, always...
There's just something about Adina's creations; passion, creativity, uniqueness but also high quality, everything about them appeals to me as a nail polish enthusiast.
Today I have the 3 latest additions to the A England range : Briarwood, highly anticipated fifth Burne-Jones Dream shade, Love is Enough, latest Heavenly Quotes and finally Excalibur (new edition), completely re-vamped version of the silver that marked the brand's debuts.

Briarwood (Burne-Jones Dream collection) is a deep marron red with A England's famous holographic effect, I love everything about it, the darkness, complexity, vampiness; all combined with a subtle but oh so beautiful holo, enough to give it to a whole new dimension... sigh.Thick but in a good way, offering a lot of control and high pigmentation, formula was flawless and if it wasn't for review purposes, I would have stopped at the first coat. Pictures below show 2 coats plus topcoat.
Love is Enough (Heavenly Quotes collection) is a grey-green-gold shimmer chameleon. Extremely complex but well balanced, perfect to give a sophisticated and edgy touch to your tips. I've always loved greys and olive greens and this one's no exception. Formula-wise, it was thinner than Briarwood, applied evenly and effortlessly, showing zero brushstrokes. Two coats were necessary for complete coverage.
Excalibur (re-vamped new edition) couldn't be more different from its first version. Silver indeed but completely counterbalanced by rich golden particles : mostly silver, often pewter or champagne, truly versatile. Application and opacity was very similar to Love is Enough and 2 easy coats was all it took for a completely opaque, brushstroke-free, finish.
And here's a final shot of all 3 bottles next to Excalibur first edition :
Overall :
I feel like each and every one of my A England reviews end the same way : these are all complex and unique colors, if they appeal to you then you won't regret your purchase. Having ever tried the brand before you know its quality never disappoints.
