SWATCHES: A-England // London Vibes 2019 Collection

SWATCHES: A-England // London Vibes 2019 Collection

I can't believe it, I have a full A-England collection upon it's release. At £28 for all 4 though I couldn't exactly say no because holy hell, these are some unbelievably beautiful polishes. They're an amazing collection of purple/pink hues with a flaming holo and I can't stop staring at them. I saw Camden Town for the first time and just knew I had to have it in my collection.

I really wanted the British Subcultures collection released at the same time as well but I had to make a decision; I can't have all the polish, well not yet anyway.

Kings Road // Grey Beige with Flaming Holo

Sort of an off silver with lilac, pink and neutral tones, this is a soft shade that will make the perfect background for floral double stamp mani's; I can already see it now with my the new Botanical plates from MoYou London.

I also really like the lilac shift. It's kind of like Kalinka in that respect but that's a little darker and definitely more grey than this one. As with practically 90% of A-England this is ready in 1 coat and it actually dries quite fast, within about 2-3 minutes which is new for A-England as they take an age to dry. Perhaps I'll be able to do some ombre's with this collection.

Carnaby Street // Beige Pink with Flaming Holo

Urgh, this shade, I have no words; it's stunning. I love soft pink shades and this shade is perfect for casual occasions but then the light hits it and hello holo. The holo chunks in this one are also a lot larger than Kings Road and so it's very shiny and glittery. This is such an elegant shade.

Covent Garden // Coral Pink with Flaming Holo

I almost thought this was a salmon pink. It's very similar to a shade from the China Glaze OMG flashback collection; it does suit my skintone wonderfully though. This one is a little streakier than the other but if you take your time and don't drag the polish by doing too many strokes you can achieve a flawless mani in one coat.

Camden Town // Dark Terracotta with Flaming Holo

I'd say this is more purple than terracotta but that's what it's officially described as. Either way this is my favourite as it's perfect. It's very similar to Maxim from the Return to Manderley collection but it's ever so slightly darker. The holo on this one though is spectacular as the colours just seem so much more vibrant and defined.

// Verdict

Another amazing and beautiful collection from A-England who knock it out of the park every time. I don't think anyone can do pigmented holo polishes quite like AE and make them look so refined and delicate. Out of all the shades I recommend Camden Town the most followed by Carnaby Street. A must buy.

A-England
£11 each or £28 for all 4
