A-England - Avalon + Models Own - Indian Ocean

Hi guys!! I finally got my order from Models Own that I bought when they had 50% off everything! I picked up soooo many pretty colours so look out for them in the next couple of days! Today was a spontaneous and 'accident' combo, but it looked gorgeous! I first started off with 2 coats of A-England - Avalon (swatches of it here) the perfect plum with blue micro shimmer in it and then I applied 1 coat of Models Own - Indian Ocean, which is from their Beetlejuice collection, and as most of you will know, the colours in that collection are a bunch of amazing duochromeness'. Indian Ocean is an iridescent blue with soft pink undertones, best served over an existing colour! Just check out the photos, they explain better than I do! All photos (except the second one, which is indoors with artificial light) show photos outdoors in the shade.

Don't you love when you stumble upon a seriously cool combo? Couldn't stop staring at my nails!

Refreshed A-England Mani

A few days ago you may have seen I posted about A-England - Iseult, I got a little bored so I decided to apply A-England - Morgan Le Fay, which is a gorgeous sheer white glitter over the top! Then for a bit of fun I added 1 coat of Jordana - My Superstar, a gorgeous glitter mix of red,silver, gold and blue of different sizes on my ring finger!

I really like this "refreshed" mani, the glitter looks so gorgeous over the shimmery white! This could be a perfect wedding mani! It's great how different your nails can look by adding special effects or glitter! What do you think of this!? Thanks for reading :)

A-England - Iseult and I'm Back!

Hello everybody! I am back from my 5 day music festival camping trip, it was so much fun and I saw some great bands. My favourite performances were by; The Rubens, Miike Snow (as always) and Ball Park Music! Great stuff! It was super muddy due to terrestrial rain for about 30 minutes which included HAIL! Crazyyy!! Anyway, when I got back I had heaps of packages which is very nice to come home to, and I received my A-England order when they had a sale. Today I am showing you A-England - Iseult, a stunning pearlescent milky pink that makes the nails look super feminine and neat and tidy!

My cuticles got battered during the weekend, I have so many cuts on my fingers and in my cuticles, oww! (please ignore them in the photos!)

This is 2 effortless coats and applies like butter! Love this heaps! Did you buy anything from the A-England sale recently?

A-England - Avalon

Hello! I had so much trouble capturing A-England - Avalon's true colour! It was very annoying because my camera kept making it look more blue but in reality it is a deep purple/plum with blue and magenta micro shimmer. I tried my best but you'll probably be able to find a more accurate one on another blogger's website who has a better camera! Anyway, this colour is amazing and if you don't own it, buy it! It is a real gem and if you love a good deep purple or plum, this will be perfect for you. Application was, like all the other A-England's i've tried, flawless. I applied 1 coat of Orly's Bonder, 2 coats of Avalon (but could have passed with 1 thick coat) followed by 1 coat of SV. Here are some photos!

See how different it can look? The lighting and setting that made my fingers look yellow had the most accurate colour!

What do you think of this colour?

A-England - Bridal Veil

Hello everybody! I have another lovely A-England to show you. This time it is Bridal veil, a deliciously dark onyx with hints of a copper shimmer followed by a slight holographic undertone. This is a beauty and applied effortlessly with 1 full opaque coat. I used SV over the top. Not going to delve into too much else for this one, as the pictures speak for themself! Here you go

Look at that beauty! It's like a galaxy on my nails!!

A-England - Order of the Garter

I think I have found my new favourite blue nail polish!  This colour is unlike any colour I own (closest I have is DS Magic, kinda) but I love this! A deep dark blue with a lighter micro shimmer blue. I applied 2 coats of OotG and 1 coat of SV. This applies very nicely.

Yumm Yumm Yummmmmmmm! I love this colour! beautiful!

So below I'll show you some swatches of Princess Tears, a beautiful soft lilac/lavender with hints of holographic grey/green glints! I applied 1 coat and it was fully opaque.
