a england fated prince (burne-jones dream)

after briarwood, sleeping palace, rose bower and briar rose,  i'm adding fated prince to the collection of a england burne-jones dream collection swatches.

i do love a england's holos, they really are a thing of beauty. for me, charcoal grey is a great option for a holographic polish, it really gives a twist to dark shades.

a england's idea was for it to resemble "the tempered steel of a hero's blade". the holographic effect is not muted even in shade, but at sunlight it really becomes alive. formula is great, as usual for their polishes.

the polish of the day is the gorgeousness that is briarwood from a england burne-jones dream collection!

i have to say, i liked this polish just from looking at the bottle, but i was so amazed when i actually had it on my nails! it is described as "burgundy base colour, filled with ultra-fine prismatic particles that reflect every facet of light". i already had sleeping palace, rose bower, and briar rose on.

the base color is amazing on it's own, and even though i love crazy holos, the subtleness of the holo shimmer is what gives this polish the wow effect. it looks like the mist raising from the nails. i could go on for a long time describing how much in love i am, but i'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

formula is standard a england perfection, nothing to complain about.

a england sleeping palace (burne-jones dream)

it's time for my third polish from a england's burne-jones dream and my choice is sleeping palace, since i've already shown briar rose and rose-bower.

sleeping palace is poetically described by a england 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". not sure if i've ever used "plum" to describe a colour, i am more of the "eggplant" kind of girl, but there it is.

this polish is one of those "looks black from afar", but it is quite obvious that it is not. i love it, it looks so rich and deep with the scattered holo effect that a england does best. formula is flawless.

a england rose bower (burnes-jones dream)

today i am showing yet another a england polish, rose bower from burnes jones dream collection. this is how they advertise it: "a true deep rose hue kissed with subtle holographic overtones, a scarlet riot of blooming life to keep the princess company"

i already showed one polish from this collection, briar rose, and they have a similar pattern: a gorgeous, deep colour (in the case of rose bower, a cranberry red with some hints of fuchsia) with the scattered holo effect that gives the "inner glow effect", that a england produces beautifully.

formula is amazing as usual, and the polish itself is so pretty that i was shocked that i can enjoy a red one so much! it also looks nice in shade.

a england briar rose (burne-jones dream)

every day is a good day for an a england holo, and today i'm presenting briar rose from the burne-jones dream collection. their description: ""her lips a ruby glow of life, while she lays lost in time" - a cranberry/scarlet base hue bearing a slight milky sheen and a gently ladylike prismatic demeanor, evidence of a still-beating heart."

it is another gorgeous scattered a england holo, briar rose, better kown as sleeping beauty.

the shade is somewhere between red and purple, filled with tiny holo particles that give it a misty, gorgeous look. with the outstanding formula and application, this is definitely another a england's gems.
