Saint George by a-england

I’ve never even heard of a-england nail polishes until a group of gorgeous, nail polish-crazy friends from Malaysia (the #evurl gang) began raving about them. When Beetrice asked me if I wanted to get some on the action too, I figured why not? I selected Dragon and Saint George, and today I’m going to show you Saint George.

Saint George – Bearer of a valiant & courageous heart, this fathomless teal reveals the strength of the brave knight’s convictions with his gleaming, fiery core.

When I swatched this, I gasped at how absolutely stunning the colour was. This, sadly, does not happen often. I don’t even know how to describe the colour. It looks like holographic green pines. One coat is enough for full opacity; however, in the pictures, two coats were used.

The finish is beautifully glossy. Application is a breeze as the formula is lovely to use. I have no issues with the brush at all. Longevity-wise, I did get tip wear after just a couple of days which isn’t too good. I wasn’t expecting it, not when I haven’t even been using my hands very much then (just my usual routine). Still, the gorgeous colour alone is good enough for me to forgive that problem.

      Charlotte: My cousin bought it for me when she did a group order with some friends. You can actually get them from their official website – http://www.a-england.co.uk/

        I’ve bought it! Saint George, along with Merlin and Lady of the Lake! Just painted Lady of the Lake on myself! Looooooving it!

    You know, I still haven’t used this one 😛 But I might go for it with that navy blue dress I’ve been talking about. I reckon it’d be stunning (and a little surprising) Looks gorgeous on you!

      Paris B: This one knocked my socks off man. When I swatched it, I went “WOAAAAAHHHH”. Very few nail varnishes make me do that 😛

    Gorgeous colour, as with a lot of the A-England polishes…I think I’ve accumulated about 5 or 6 bottles already. The tip wear is a bit surprising since Tristam on me lasted for a good week before showing any signs of wear, but then again it’s really down to individual use. 🙂 Try Ascalon if you get the chance, I’m sure you’d love it! 😉

    Wow, I really love the colour and the shine! That’s the number one thing for me that I look for, great glassy shine. It looks like its been glazed and baked in a pottery oven (I’m sure there a proper name for that but I don’t remember haha)! This is such a beautiful shade, thanks for the heads up on the brand. I’d never heard of it either.

      Kaye: Oh I know, right? It DOES look like it’s been glazed and baked in an oven! Hee hee 😛

    I love this!! And I’m wearing Ascalon now 🙂 – tip wear surprisingly way better though. Considering I clean and cook, it can still last me a week!

      Giddy Tigress: Aww man, could it just be my nail polish formula then? ‘Cos I didn’t even do any cooking or cleaning when I had Saint George on >.<
