a-england Tristam & Lady of the Lake (Picture Heavy)

I ordered these two incredible polishes that I have been lemming for a terribly long time from a-england.  And I must say that I am incredibly impressed by the product that I received and the short period of time that it took to receive them from London.  I took these lovelies out of the bubble envelope and each was individually wrapped in it's own mini bubble insert.  Talk about lovingly packaged!  Once I removed them from their protective packaging I was in complete awe of their gorgeousness!

Tristam and Lady of the Lake along with the lovely note from Adina that I received with my order.

I proceeded to immediately remove what ever polish I had on and apply Tristam in all its glorious beauty.  I am especially attracted to blues (it is my favorite color!).  I was absolutely amazed by the incredible pigments and the scattered holographic pigment.  Not to mention it went on like butter.  I probably could have gotten away with one coat but I added a second coat just because I always use two coats.  I wore Tristam for a week (a record for me but I couldn't bear to remove) with very little tip wear and it was a breeze to remove and left zero staining which is rare for me with blue polishes.

Tristam applied with one coat Zoya Anchor base coat, two coats of Tristam and one coat of Seche Vite Top Coat in the sun.

I just can't get enough of Tristam.

And Tristam!

Next up is Lady of the Lake.  This one is a gorgeous purple that is just as filled with scattered holographic pigment as Tristam.  Lady of the Lady was incredibly difficult to capture its true color.  My pictures do not do it justice!  I wore this with one coat of Zoya Anchor base coat, two coats of Lady of the Lake and one coat of Seche Vite top coat.

In summary, I will definitely be buying more a-england polishes to add to my collection.  I couldn't have had a better shopping experience with this line.  Website is easy to use and well designed.  The only method of payment is via paypal currently.  Each bottle costs £ 9.00 (approx. $14.29).  Shipping is currently free.  Tristam is definitely my new favorite nail polish! <3
