a England has a new collection out called The Legends that includes seven new colors. I don’t know about you but I am super excited about them!

This collection was inspired by the tale of Saint George and the Dragon.

The colors include:

• Saint George – Teal holographic
• Dragon – Green holographic
• Princess Sabra – Gold holographic
• Order of the Garter – Royal blue glass fleck
• Bridal Veil – Black holographic
• Ascalon – Grey holographic
• Princess Tears – Lilac/grey holographic

The formula with all of the ones I tried was most excellent. They are buttery, smooth, so easy to apply and perfect in just two coats. They’re very holographic and shiny as well. Just perfection!

a-england carries some really amazing and unique colors in The Mythicals collection and I’ve got three more for you today!

I love pretty much everything about this brand. The names, the ideas behind the colors, the bottle shapes, the logo, the fact that they’re from England, the formula… I think you get the point.

The only thing I would change is we need MORE of them! Hint, hint.

a england is a somewhat new nail varnish brand from creator Adina Bodana.

Adina grew up in Italy but moved to London in the late 1980′s. She was originally in the fashion world, but had been painting her nails since she was a little girl and wound up creating her own brand. You can definitely tell that the colors Adina puts out are done out of serious love for nail varnish, color and quality.

The nail varnish line is called The Mythicals and all the names correspond to mythical figures from long-ago in England. Give me a “theme” especially if it’s got to to with anything old or British and I. AM. THERE!  The great thing about this theme, is that there is some seriously amazing varnish behind it, and it’s not just a gimmick.

The collection currently has 15 colors as well as a base coat and top coat.

The formula was really amazing with all four colors I tested. They are thick, but not in a bad way and they apply like a dream. In fact, Tristam and Lady Of The Lake almost apply themselves they are so fabulous. All four were just two coats.
