A-England Tristam

Here is another polish from 2011, that made it's way into my life through the generosity and amazingness of my blogging buddy Courtney.  She, out of nowhere, sent me A-England's Tristam and Lady of the Lake!!!!!!!!! Seriously????? Words can not express how beautiful this polish is, and how thankful I am to Courtney for sending me this HUGE gift in the middle of my crazy, hectic, stressful month.  She is an amazing friend and person.

Tristam is my first A-England ever.  I've read plenty of blog posts about it and people just can't get enough of the formula and colors.  Now I know why.  Lets start with the formula.  Super smooth, flows like butter, self levels and cleans up easy.  A-England just might be my new favorite formula.  And then, there is the color.  Descriptions I read call it a sapphire blue, but I don't know, I totally see a dark purple-y blue when I look at this.  Don't get me wrong, I'm obsessed with the color.  I just see purple.  Weird...

Any way this "blue" is PACKED with holographic shimmer creating this great holographic effect.  I could see it in almost every light.  Unfortunately the camera wouldn't capture the beauty I saw under the Ott-Lite.  And I wore this when it was cloudy and generally cruddy outside, so no sunlight pictures here.  If you go back here at Courtney's post of Lady of the Lake, and take a look at the sunlight picture, that's what you get with Tristam.

Really?!?!?!  How can you not love this?  How can I not love Courtney?!?!  I mean I did before, but now she's got a new title of the Queen of Awesome-Sauce.  Did I mention that Courtney?  Queen of Awesome-Sauce! :)

Tristam is part of A-england's Mythicals collection.  You can pick this up from A-England's website or at Llarowe's.  Either way the polish will run you around $15 with shipping.  I suggest if you are into scattered holos, blues or purples, you RUN to buy this and Lady of the Lake.  You won't regret it :).

Until tomorrow!!! (Man this post has me pumped - Bonus points to whoever tells me how many exclamation points I used in this post - haha)
