Sleeping Palace by A-England

Hello ladies! Continuing with the theme of A-England polishes tonight we have the last one from the Burne-Jones collection in my stash - Sleeping Palace.  This smoky plum holographic polish is just fabulous...

Sleeping Palace - A England - Artificial Light

This is a really tricky shade to describe, part smoky charcoal, part plum, with a dash of brown.  Combined it's a beautiful warm toned shade that's super flattering.  This is hardly a surprise, I'm convinced that Adina is incapable of producing an ugly polish.  The holographic effect in this polish is more pronounced than in the others of the collection, and I think this is due to the base colour showing it off.

Sleeping Palace - A England - Sun Light

This is two easy coats with NE base and HK Girl topcoat.  As with the others in this collection (see:  Rose Bower and Briar Rose, and Briarwood) application and formula are both top notch.  No complaints here.

Sleeping Palace - A England - Natural Light

This is a really lovely shade, and great for the autumn. It's a sophisticated take on the Grey/Mauve trend that I really love.  I bought my bottle for £6 when it was the 'gem of the month' on  http://a-england.co.uk/ and I highly recommend it :)

Damson Dream by No. 7

Hello ladies!  Before the Boots No.7 voucher scheme ends this Sunday I have one more No. 7 polish to share with you...This beauty is 'Damson Dream'



Damson Dream by No. 7 - artificial lighting

This is my usual two coats with NE base and SV topcoat.  I absolutely LOVE this shade, it's lush.  It's a plummy red metallic shade with a lot of oomph! I'm a sucker for a good shimmer polish and this one has that 'lit from within' effect going in spades.

Quality wise I really can't fault No. 7 polishes (apart from the awful Betty Blues which stained like crazy).  The formula is smooth and consistent, weartime is excellent, and the brushes are good too (always an important consideration for me!).  Top marks all round for this one No. 7!

These polishes are on offer until the 2nd of February (details below).  To help you choose you can check out my reviews of Galaxy (Chanel Taboo dupe!!!), In The Stars and Betty Blues.  I haven't got swatch pics for it yet but I also highly recommend Salsa - it has the same finish as Damson Dream but it's a fabulous shade of red.

The Offer: These polishes RRP for just £6 for the 'Stay Perfect' regular range, and £7 for the Gel-look Shine polishes.  Until this Sunday any Boots purchase will get you a £3 off voucher to spend on No. 7 make-up, plus No. 7 are also doing 'buy one get 2nd half price' deal.  You can combine both offers to bag yourself two half price polishes. Sweet!
