Christmas is all about the Christmas movies for me. I may have squealed a little when I saw that Elf would be on soon because it means the start of so many Christmas movies. So when Stephanie mentioned her upcoming Merry Grinchy Christmas polish when I tried out Spiced Plum and Goldschlacquer a while back I […]

Purple Nail Art For #CBBNov With A England Angel Grace
Halfway through the Canadian Beauty Bloggers #CBBNov challenge and the prompt for this weekend is purple. We have already covered plaid, wine, poppies and stamping. Some of these are obviously easier for nail bloggers but there are some makeup looks too. For purple, I started with a base of A England’s Angel Grace which is […]

A England Tennyson’s Romance Collection Swatches and Review

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
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
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
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 […]
