I wanted to share a beauty product review of the lovely A-England Saint George nail polish. Let me warn you that this will be a photo intensive post. Saint George has been on my lemming list for some time. In fact all the collections of A-England are on my lemming list but that is a whole other issue.
In case you don’t know what “lemming” refers to, here is the definition according to Urban Dictionary: A lemming refers to a purchase/wished-for-item, which results from reading an enthusiastic post about a new fabulous product. Overcome by compulsion, readers follow like lemmings diving off a cliff. May be used as a noun or verb. May apply to the buyer but more commonly to the item of desire.
I can’t tell you how excited I was to receive my white little envelope with the Royal Mail stamp. I couldn’t help but take a picture.
Saint George is a scattered holographic dark teal. It is just a stunning color. The formula was amazing. I had no issues whatsoever. I used only one coat and got perfect opacity. These pictures are with no topcoat.
I wanted to do some stamping but I didn’t want to cover up the holographic effect not to mention the teal color is just amazing, so I didn’t want to loose that. I decided to use Cheeky Jumbo Plate 8 – Princess Charming, which has a royal crown image that resembles the A-England crown logo.
I used Pure Ice – Silver Mercedes to stamp the crown images. I toped it all off with Seche Vite. Pardon the awkward hand poses but I was trying to capture the stamping next to the logo of A-England as best I could. I also took some pictures outdoors trying my best to capture just how beautiful this polish is.

I give A-England Saint George 5 brains.
Amazon recently had a set of 10 nail tape stripe stickers for $1.51 and free shipping. I couldn’t resist this deal since I have wanted to try nail tape. The only down side was that it shipped from China, so that meant a long wait time.
I was so excited to receive the package. So lets take a look at the items. I received the nail tape individually wrapped. I was a bit taken by the size. For some reason I thought the roles would be much larger. Unfortunately I don’t have another brand of nail tape to compare with. Either way I took pictures measuring the actually size.
The color selection was nice. I received silver, gold, green, blue, red, purple, pink, white, hologram gold, and hologram purple. These tapes are very sticky. I had trouble removing them out of the package cause they were stuck to their wrapping; so they seem very sticky. One thing I noticed is they are extremely thin. When I held them sideways they were almost transparent. Not sure if this is the norm for nail tape. 
I’m looking forward to trying them out. So lets see what I come up with.
