Scotland
I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

a-England Queen Of Scots

a-England have recently released a new collection of polishes - Elizabeth & Mary Collection. I ordered them last week and this the the first one I tried.


This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 2 mins a coat). It is a gorgeous deep jewel blue colour. The formula is quite thick but applies okay and the brush is good. Lasted really well.
***upon removal had some staining, I the tried the foil method and still had slight staining on the nails***

Rating
Easy to use = 8/10
Application = 8/10
Drying time = 8/10
Lasted well = 8/10
Coats = 1
Finish = jewel like
Removal = easy with foil method but still get staining on the nails
Overall = 8/10
Purchased from = a-England Official Site

My Personal Rating = 8/10 :-)

    It is super beautiful - even if it isn't unique. Hmmm staining, I hate that, I also had staining from A England Order of the Garter (also blue)...

    Lovely navy blue! Too bad about the staining... Personally I find very quick swipes of 100% acetone works best, I think if you let the remover sit on your nails with the foil method it soaks in and stains more

    Pity for it stained, but I'm quite used to stains with blue polishes.
