A England Virgin Queen

Adina, žena koja stoji iza A England, poslednjih nekoliko godina kao da se specijalizovala za veoma nežne holose (ahem, kolekcija Ballerina). U kolekciji Elizabeth & Mary se našao jedan takav lak, ali daleko neobičnije boje i naravno da sam ga morala uzeti. A England lakovi imaju istu cenu na Hypnotic Polish i na NailLand-u - 9,40 € za bočicu od 11 ml.

Adina, the lady behind A England, seems to have specialized for very delicate holo polishes (ahem, Ballerina collection). Elizabeth & Mary collection also has one such polish, but much more interesting in terms of tone and I just had to have it. A England polishes retail for the same price at Hypnotic Polish and NailLand - € 9.40 for 11 ml.

A England Virgin Queen je opisan kao kalajni lak ružičastog podtona, sa sivo/maslinosto/bakarnim prelivom i nežnim ali vidljivim prizmatičnim efektom. Meni je on malo suviše žut da bih ga doživela kao boju kalaja, ali je i suviše bled da bi bio mesingan. Mislim da je ovo zapravo boja kose Targerjena. Spomenuti ružičasti podton je prisutan, a rasuti holo efekat zaista jeste vidljiv. Što se mazanja tiče, moja muka sa mazanjem A England lakova se nastavlja. Ne znam u čemu je tačno problem, ali bez obzira na to kakvu bazu koristim ili ne koristim, meni ovi lakovi "zapinju" prilikom nanošenja. Samoravnajuća formula pomaže da se neke greške isprave, ali ni ona ne može da čini čuda, tako da su mi na par noktiju ostale brazde. Pigmentacija je dobra. Puna pokrivenost se dobija iz dva sloja. Ako ste među srećnicima kojima se ovi lakovi slažu sa telesnom hemijom, stilom mazanja, mesečevim menama, sunčevim pegama, podzemnim vodama i nadzemnim vetrovima (samo dva ova uslova zapravo imaju uticaj), onda možda možete proći i sa jednim debljim slojem. Brzina sušenja je prosečna. Slike su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

A England Virgin Queen is described as "pewter prismatic hue with pink undertones and a complex grey/olive/copper cast, soft but visible scattered holographic effect". It is a bit too yellow-toned for me to consider it a pewter shade, but also too pale to be brassy. I actually think this might be the Targaryen hair colour. The pink undertone that was mentioned is present and scattered holo effect is clearly visible. As far as application goes, my troubles with A England polishes continue. I don't know where's the rub, but they tend to slog during application regardless of the base I use or if I go with bare nails. Self-leveling formula helps even things out, but it can't do miracles so I ended up with some streaks. Pigmentation is good. It takes two coats to get full coverage. If you are among the fortunate ones that these polishes agree with body chemistry, nail painting technique, moon phases, sun spots, groundwater and overground air flow, you may do it with one fuller coat (only two of these actually matter). Drying time is average. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
