Saint George - a-England

Hey everyone I am back! Did you miss me?! Is it safe to come out after the frenzy caused by Fantasy Fire? hehe!

So my internet is up and running again a lot earlier than expected after it went down Wednesday night so here I am bringing you swatches of a-England's Saint George. Most of you will know that a-England is a UK brand run by polish artisan Adina who loving creates these polishes along with the concepts, satisfying the appetite of the most avid polish addict. I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to try a brand that is so close to home but I'm glad I didn't leave it any longer! Here is Saint George from the upcoming Legends Collection, a gorgeous teal holographic.
This bottle shot is not an accurate representation of the colour. I used a strong LED light to bring out the holo! The following image is more accurate.
I cannot fault the formula of this polish. It is easily a one coater but I always do two for good measure. It dries really quickly to a glossy finish. The holo is very shy. Under normal lighting it is very difficult to see but in direct sun it comes alive. However because I shoot at night I had to use an LED light.

Not sure if any eagle-eyed readers have notice my dodgy middle nail? It split quite low down and I've been patching it up waiting for it to grow out for ages. I did quite a shite job of patching it up this week so that is why you can see a strange bump and why I've not very subtly placed the watermark over the nail in the following images haha.
Have you or will you be buying any Legends?
Have a good weekend. XX

    I've never tried this brand before but I think I should be checking them out, this looks so pretty! I didn't think it'd look as nice as it does!

      I think you should have at least one in your collection! One day they'll be gone and you might regret it haha.

    Ha, I missed your regular updates! Welcome back. :) This is a great colour! As with every collection, I picked out Avalon and Lady of the Lake (the purples), but I might need this one also... Like PlasmoSpeedo said:" I don't even have anything like this!" :D

      What are you, the freaking polish police?! ;) Lol.

      I ordered some from the Legend collection after seeing your swatches! But I could never make pictures as beautiful as yours, so I'll just hoard and enjoy the polishes in my little cave and on the internet... :D

    Wowser! That is so gorgeous. I just bought my first a-Englands, but before the Legends collection. Time to hit the wallet again!
