Happy Hump Day! I hope you are all having a great week so far! :)
Today I want to show you the beauty that is A England Sleeping Palace! This baby is described as:
"An unnatural twilight has fallen upon the land" - a plum/coppery base hue filled with vivid prismatic life, as though mocking the eternal slumber of the entire castle.
Shown is 2 coats of Sleeping Palace over Duri Rejuvacote. I took the photos before adding HK Girl top coat. The last photo is a few days into my mani but we had a rare moment of sunshine and I just had to show you what I was seeing! Stunning!! A England's formula is pure perfection, I could have used 1 coat and had little to no clean up! I'm thinking Fated Prince needs to make an appearance in the near future!
I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday so far! Mine has been pretty low key. My biggest plans today were to catch up the last couple episodes of Breaking Bad and to figure out what color I am painting my nails next! Hard work I tell ya! ;)
Today I wanted to show off the undies I used in yesterday's review featuring Shimmer Polish Jasmine. I used A England Princess Sabra (Tristam Eyes) which is described as:
Gorgeous deep golden taupe holographic nail polish
That is the description from Llarowe but I love the description from the actual A England website:
Alluringly feline golden olive bronzite, the sacrificial Princess constantly shifts with her elusive, myriad hues.
My only disappointment was that there was no sun when I took photos! Sadly now that fall is here I don't anticipate many sunny days. I expect rainy and gray for the next 6 months. I will be watching the weather report for sunny days so I can show off my holos! In the meantime using flash seems to be the only thing I can do to really show the full effect. Sigh.
Even when you can't fully see the holo Princess Sabra is a beautiful color! For those wondering, Tristam is the name of Adina's cat! This color is absolutely reminiscent of cat eyes! Shown here is 2 coats of Julep Nail Therapy. I did not use top coat and was really impressed with how quick dry time was! Application was a breeze as well!
I hope you all had a great Sunday! I watched some football and started to watch Once Upon A Time on Netflix, one episode and I am pretty hooked! I just started Sons of Anarchy a week or two ago and am all caught up on that already so I needed a new show since I have to wait a week between new SoA episodes now!
Today I have my last Shimmer Polish to show you! I saved this one for last as it was the color I was most excited to receive! Jasmine is described as:
Aquamarine Mix / Aquamarine, light blue and green Glitter Polish!
My birthstone is aquamarine so this was a given for me! It also make me think of the Disney princess and because of that I knew I wanted to pair it with gold undies. Searching through my stash I realized I have a shortage of golds! My favorite is a-england Princess Sabra (Tristam Eyes) which is perfect for sticking with the princess theme and is a special gold thanks to the scattered holo! I went with a glitter gradient again, I love the effect and how simple it is to do! On to photos!
Shown is 1-3 coats of Shimmer Polish Jasmine over 2 coats of a-england Princess Sabra. I used Julep Nail Therapy base coat and 1 coat of HK Girl topcoat. I absolutely love this with gold! It really helps the glitters pop! Jasmine would look beautiful on her own too, it would only take 2 or 3 coats for full opacity. But this really does it for me!
If you would like to buy Jasmine or any other Shimmer Polishes (or request a custom!) they are $12 each and can be purchased here:
