A England Sparks Divine and Whispering Waves

Hi everyone, today I have the two new A England Heavenly Quotes shades for you, Sparks Divine and Whispering Waves.

Sparks Divine is a toffee brown with a fine silver holographic glitter. It is one of the thinner A Englands I have used. I'm used to this brand being close to one coaters, so I was a bit disappointed that I needed three coats for this. You can see in the photos that there is still some VNL. It does apply nicely however. Lovely colour that went well with my skin tone, but may not suit everyone.   Pics are with top coat.

Whispering Waves is a stunning blue turquoise with fine holographic shimmer. This also has a pinky purple shift that for the life of me I could not capture. It is a subtle shift though. This polish applied like a dream. Very close to a one coater. I did go over with a second thin coat just tao be sure. It does dry a bit matte, so make sure to use a top coat! Really love this.

All photos taken in artificial light. Unfortunately where I am the weather hasn't been very cooperative lately. These both look better in natural light, but what can you do?

Emily de Molly So Many Activities!

Hello everyone
Today I have a super spectacular shade from Emily de Molly for you. This is So Many Activities!

This is a minty green creme with a subtle holographic shimmer and colour shifting flakies. For the photos I have three coats of So Many Activities! Plus top coat. Excuse the tip wear. I had been wearing it for five days before I took the pictures. It wore really well as you can see. This was even after moving my daughter into her university dorm! ( I also managed not to break a nail in the process, which I thought was pretty impressive) The flakies are subtle, and hard to capture on camera. It all blended so nicely though. I thought this was much prettier in person.

Thanks for the visit, I hope you enjoyed!
