Hello lovelies!

First of all thank you all for your votes in the nail art competition! I really appreciate it and I am currently preparing thank you giveaway :)

Back to the topic now -  lovely Adina from A England sent me this great silver metallic polish and I couldn't wait very long to use it!

Excalibur is a very shiny metallic silver, a tad brighter than China Glaze Millennium. The pigmentation in this polish is great! I've used two coats for perfect coverage but I could do with one as well. The colour is a little streaky but it's not as bad as some other metallic polishes. it also dried fast and removal was ok, no problems.

I've also discovered, that Excalibur is great as a stamping polish thanks to its good pigmentation! Up until now I've used China Glaze Millennium but it dries too fast and sometimes it dries before I transfer it to the nail. I didn't have this problem with Excalibur so as from now on it will be my silver stamping polish. I have the Konad Silver Stamping polish too but don't like it.

Hi girls!

today I have here real eye candy for you! My first A England polish I've ever tried - Lady Of The Lake!

If you haven't heard about A England brand before it's a real shame, the polishes are just great! A England is a creation of Adina Bodana. The A England launch was just on the 8th January 2011 so it's a very young nail polish brand, it is 3 free and salon quality formula, not tested on animals. The current collection is not extensive but there should be more shades in the future. But I can tell you now that there are some awesome polishes there! Oh and there is free worldwide delivery!!!

Lady Of The Lake - cool-toned hologhraphic purple. The holographic particles are tiny and the rainbow effect is not over the top and that makes this shade useable for a daily wearing. I have many holographs with strong holo effect so it's nice to have something subtle as well.

The formula is really great! The pigmentation is good so I applied the first thicker coat and was really hesitant if I need to apply the second coat. I did so there are two coats in the pictures :) Polish dried quite fast and was easy to apply. I wore this polish for 4 days and experienced really minor chipping, basically just the edges of the nails. So another point for the long lasting formula. Removal was easy as well, no annoying holo particles on my cuticles.

Overall this is definitely must have polish if you like purples!
