Nail Stamping With A England In Robe & Crown #CBBNov

CBBNov Stamping Prompt - A England In Robe and Crown - BP Gold - Pueen Geo Lover 02 plate - Swatch

I prefer challenges I can actually keep up with and #CBBNov seems to be working for me with just two prompts a week.  Today, we are doing stamping.  Easier for us nail bloggers than the regular beauty bloggers, but I am hoping to see some eyeliner stamping and similar reviews from them! Today is lazy […]

Poppy Nail Art

Poppy Nail Art Swatches - November 11 - Zoya Posh Matte - Maybelline Tenancious Teal - Essence Enter Wonderland and Black is Back

Part of the #CBBNov challenge is a prompt for poppies.  The prompt was for yesterday, but it feels right posting it today.  I originally tried to stamp a poppy-like design onto my nails.  I didn’t have a perfect stamp so the closest I had was this image from the Pueen Nature Lover 02 plate. Close […]

Avon Mark. Rebel Luxe Fragrance Review & Nail Art

Mark by Avon Rebel Luxe Fragrance Winter 2016 Perfume

The latest fragrance from Mark. by Avon is Rebel Luxe.  Part edgy, part opulent. Rebel Luxe is chic blend of irresistible dark plum, sophisticated baccarat rose and mysterious patchouli.  This smells a lot like a perfume I have used before, but I can’t think which one it is. The notes they describe it with are definitely […]

A England Tennyson’s Romance Collection Swatches and Review

A England - Tennyson's Romance Header with Text

You can never have enough holo in your life and this stunning new collection from A England just screams buy me.  The Tennyson’s Romance collection includes five scattered holo polishes, from orchid purple to black based on Tennyson’s The Beggar Maid. While the polishes are named for Tennyson’s Romance, The Beggars Maid, the shades mainly […]

A England – Shall Be My Queen Swatches and Review

A England - Shall Be My Queen Natural Light Swatches and Review - Tennysons Romance Collection

The final shade in A England’s Tennyson’s Romance collection is Shall Be My Queen.  A stunning ruby red scattered holographic polish that finishes the collection with a touch of royalty. While the painting does have some beautiful reds in it, I like to think the inspiration is more the royalty aspect of the story.  I […]

A England – Angel Grace Swatches and Review

A England - Angel Grace Swatches and Review - Tennysons Romance Collection

The fourth shade from A England’s Tennyson’s Romance collection is Angel Grace.  This stunning scattered holo orchid purple polish may be the least true to the painting, but you know I love my purples.  Since it is a bit lighter, the holographic shimmer shows more brightly too. I am not really sure where they got […]

A England – In Robe and Crown Swatch & Review

A England - In Robe and Crown Swatches - Tennysons Romance Collection

The third shade in A England’s Tennyson’s Romance collection is the stunning In Robe and Crown.  A deep red wine polish with scattered holo, this one would work for almost all skin tones and is so beautiful in person.  I only had this one briefly while I tried out the collection but even the FedEx […]

A England – King Cophetua Swatch & Review

A England - King Cophetua - Swatch and Review - Tennysons Romance Collection

King Cophetua, the second polish in A England’s Tennyson’s Romance, is a gorgeous scattered black holographic polish. It picks up on the darker colours in the painting of The Beggar Maid that hangs in the Tate Gallery.  Perhaps even the King’s mindset as he was said to have immediately decided that he would commit suicide if […]
