A England Dragon & Saint George - Review

Once again it shows that my mailman has excellent timing, I wasn't sure what to do with my nails today and then I got a package! I received 3 polishes from the new "The Legend" collection from A England, and today I have the first 2 for you.

Unfortunately there was no sun today, so my camera had a hard time capturing the subtle holo in these polishes. But I couldn't wait any longer to try these beauties, can you blame me? :) Of course you'll see them again sometime when there's sunshine! The 3rd polish (Princess Tears) really deserves some sunshine pics straight away, because the holo in it is much stronger.

All swatches are without base- and topcoat.


Dragon


Dragon is a mossy green that flashes coppery-golden (as the bottle shows well), and it has a subtle scattered holographic effect. It reminds me more of a forest than of a dragon though, but that's probably because I play WoW and the dragons there have different colors, lol. Anyway, this pretty is unlike any other green I've ever seen!
I used 2 thin coats here, but 1 thicker was probably enough as well.


Saint George


Tbh, this one should've been called Saint Polish or something, whát an awesome color! Tristam is one of my favorite polishes when I'm in a rush or not sure what to wear, but it got some serious competition now from Georgie here. It's a gorgeous teal that leans more green or blue depending on the light. Also has the scattered holographic effect that gives it that deep, rich color.
Perfection in 1 thicker coat. Yeah, I really love this one, can you tell? =)

And because Adina (the lady behind A England) loves cats as well, I wanted to use my cats as background for some pics. They weren't in the mood for that (luckily you can't see the look in Sue's eyes here, hehe), but here you can see how blue Saint George can look as well.


Both of these just glide on your nails like butter, and dry fast and shiny. Adina really made a fabulous collection that was well worth the wait! The Legend polishes will soon be added to the A England website, and in the meantime you can order them by sending Adina an email.

Thanks for looking and take care! :)

    ReplyDelete

  25. oooohhh... I am IN LOVE with Saint George!!! Must. Have. This. NOW!!

    ReplyDelete

  28. So funny, I was going to take some nail polish pics with my kitty as a background too! :D
    Sue looks like my first kitty I got when I was 3. I've got a female dark tabby with white now...Is Sue all over tabby with a white tummy?
    That Dragon green is pretty! Your nails look really nice too... And the St. teal is gorgeous! I wonder how Dragon looks compared to Glitter Gal Lizard belly...?
    You know, I think you described it really well when you used the word mossy for the green of Dragon...From pictures Lizard Belly seems more of a forest or a more blue leaning green?

    ReplyDelete

  29. oh wow, this is such a great colour! I love a good green! Must haauuuullll

    ReplyDelete

  34. Haha, played for ages with a break here and there :P
    And no, I wish I had it, but I don't =(

    ReplyDelete

  35. Thanks hun, and she sure does, they're so awesome! Saw your lovely swatches too, and now I wish I ordered BV as well!

    ReplyDelete

  36. I think I feel the same, I haven't seen them all irl yet, but so far I love these!

    ReplyDelete

  37. They're very smooth indeed, like all A England polishes that I tried so far, but I know what you mean and especially when the sun hits them, it's like magic on your nails!

    ReplyDelete

  38. I hope you got yours today then! I'm waiting for a second package, so know a bit how you feel, haha.

    ReplyDelete

  39. GMTA! =D Nah, I think we just got the package the same day and both couldn't resist using them straight away :)

    ReplyDelete

  40. Oh I'm glad I didn't have to choose, but I would've gone for SG as well then :)

    ReplyDelete

  41. Oh they make excellent backgrounds! As long as they work along, that is :P Sue's blotched tabby that's almost fully black in the back, with white belly and socks at the front, boots at the back :)

    I wish I could compare those for you, but unfortunately I don't have LB! So hopefully someone else can help you with that one :) But based on photos I'd say LB is much darker than Dragon!

    ReplyDelete

  44. Agree! Thanks for commenting!

    ReplyDelete

  45. It is, already wore it as a full mani ♥

    ReplyDelete

  46. Oh wait till you see SG irl then! :)

    ReplyDelete

  49. The sparkle in SG really came to life when the sun hit it, but of course now that I want to make pics, the sun dissapeared, lol.

    ReplyDelete

  50. Thanks dear, and they really are! :)
