Hello my lovelies and happy Sunday! We are enjoying the first days of spring over here and even though the sun is a little moody, the temperatures are going up and I couldn't be happier. We've always had long winters in the past years, so it's nice to have a spring rather than jumping directly into summer. I have another A-england beauty to show today and I really can't say enough good things about this polish. You can see for yourself that it's gorgeous!

Of course I wanted both Saint George and Dragon for a long time, but I was always sure that Saint George would be my favorite of the two. I was very surprised when I put this one on because I actually love it more. It's probably because it's lighter and that makes the holo effect more visible. It might also be the fact that this has a better formula, at least on my bottle.

Dragon is a moss green shimmer with a subtle scattered holo effect. It's hard to capture in photos and I had no sun when I wore this polish, so the best photo of the holo effect I could get is the one below. Please excuse the weird angle.

Application was a dream with this polish. It's very opaque, so you might get it right in just one coat, depending on the thickness of your coats. I personally did 2 because my first one wasn't perfect. The formula is amazing and it literally goes on like butter. The only problem I had were a few uneven bristles on the brush, which I had to take care of with scissors. It dries pretty shiny but I used a coat of Seche Vite on top to make it dry faster.

I really can't get enough of this polish. It has entered my A-england top 3 and I can't wait to wear it in the summer because I'm sure the sun will make it look even better.
Mihaela, I couldn't agree more...on all counts. It's soooo good to see signs of spring. I'm waiting for our forsythia bushes to bloom. That's when I know for SURE that we're out of the winter woods. :) As for your mani...
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of Adina Bodana as a polish maker. In my book, there are a handful of "stars" in that universe, and she's one of them. I was actually late to the party, and only got to know about aEngland when my daughter bought me a bottle of Dragon last year. Unique formula, stunning color, and exquisite application.
Perfect for a nearly-spring day!

ReplyDeleteYou just gave me such a good idea, Mihaela! I'm trying to wear green for upcoming St. Paddys day and this one totally skipped my mind!! And it's soooo gorgeous!! I'm glad you finally got it, I just can't imagine not having this polish!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree about Adina. What she designs is amazing, not just dropping a few glitters in a base. She's also a great person and has flawless customer service. I really wish people would appreciate more of her work. And Dragon is such a beauty. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMultumesc mult! Iti doresc sa pui mana pe ea cat mai curand!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm really happy you say that. I really did my best with this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteI know it's one of your favorites. I had to get it and knew I was gonna like it, but I was still surprised by how much. One of my favorites from A-england for sure!
