Bridal Veil - a-england

It's that really fun time at uni at the moment - mid-semester test time! So I thought I'd brighten up all our lives with an AMAZING polish... I have 'Bridal Veil' from a-england's recent collection, The Legend, to show you today.

So when I first put on 'Bridal Veil', the sky was a fairly typical grey and I thought to myself "oh yea, this polish is nice but the holo isn't too obvious on the nail..."

Then this happened...

This has in an instant become one of my favourite polishes in the world! In shaded light (as above), it's a gorgeous moody black with an added silvery depth. But in sunlight... Look at the amazing bursts of copper that seem to shine like there's a fire glowing beneath that blackened veil. Not to mention that glorious scattered holo effect that I am growing to love more and more. Like the most amazing galaxy in the most beautifully quiet setting with no lights polluting the sky so you can see every twinkling star.

Sometimes, a green/yellow glow takes over from that copper fire. Equally as gorgeous but slightly more elusive than the copper.

At certain angles of light, this polish becomes really blackened and the holo becomes even more scattered. Does this polish have a bad-side? NO!

"A mysterious onyx shroud worn in anticipation of Princess Sabra's impending doom, yet bearing deep within the promise of gleaming hope."

This is what is written about 'Bridal Veil' on the a-england website. Eugenia's words perfectly capture the beauty and sadness of this polish but also that glow from somewhere deep inside it.

A little close-up and macro action. Amazing... Need I say more?

Just in case I needed one more thing to love, this polish is a one-coater. ONE-COATER! But as I've told you before, creature-of-habit here had to do two. I just don't have a steady enough hand to get it all even and pretty with one. So for me, this is an easy two coater. I used a-england 'The Knight' base and 'The Shield' top coat (which I'm having a little trouble with, though that may be for another day). Overall I love this polish beyond what I ever expected. It is so much more spectacular in real life. I got a fair few questions about it while I was wearing it.

I have said it before, if you are yet to try Adina's creations, then hop to it! These are all available on the a-england site and with free world-wide shipping there's no excuse. Thank-you again, Adina, for bringing these wonderful polishes into my life!
