A England - Fated Prince

     I just wanted to share this awesome polish with you before I get ready for tonight. (I'm going to see City and Colour.) I filed down my nails this afternoon because I wasn't feeling anything I put on them. Until this. I forgot that I had this polish and found it in the back of my Helmer. I bought it when it was first released, but can't remember wearing it. I was missing out! 

Matte Flakies

       Last night, I put on a England Lady of Shalott, a prominently blue shimmer with a bit of pink and purple in a blackened base. While it was perfect on its own, I needed something more. I mentioned it to my friend Karly and she had the best idea ever. Add a blue/green flakie polish and make it matte. Genius I tell you! Pure genius! 

Two coats Finger Paints Motley over two coats a England Lady of Shalott

Two coats Butter London Matte Top Coat

       I haven't worn flakies in such a long time. I actually forgot all about them until Karly mentioned it to me. Motley is a great mix of blue and green. It looked good glossy, but it's more mermaid like with the matte top coat. 

       Please don't mind the bit of tip wear I have. I didn't bother touching up the edges before adding the flakies and top coat. It looks fine in real life.

     Do you have any flakies? After seeing how great they look with a matte top coat, I don't think they'll be forgotten from now on. 

A England: Tess D'Urbervilles

     Do I ever have a gem for you today! I recently purchased three of the new A Englands from the Gothic Beauties collection. I'm a sucker for vamps and greens; Tess D'Urbervilles was a must have.

     Tess is a black filled with emerald green flecks and shimmer. This is two coats followed by top coat. As always, the A England formula does not disappoint.
