a-england : a medieval inspired nail polish collection

A few days ago, I received an enigmatic email announcing the launch of a new nail polish brand : a-england.
(I believe it doesn't take capital letters).

I must say that it really caught my interest, first because I had never heard of it before and second because it was such an attractive concept : from the design of the bottle, to the name of the shades, to the entire spirit of the collection : a total immersion into the medieval english literature.

a-england offers a 12 colors, salon quality, core collection : "The Mythicals", along with 2 holographic shades : "Gem of the Month" and both a base and a top coat : The Knight and The Shield.

Before reviewing it, I sent an email to Adina Bodana, the founder of a-england to ask her a few questions and I am happy to say that she has quickly wrote me back with the information I needed :

apart from being B3F (no DBP, Formaldehyde or Toluene), the nail polishes are not animal tested and I think that Adina has a very strong position on the matter, being a proud vegetarian for 24 years now.

Here's the collection :

"Gem of the Month"

"The Mythicals"

Now, I don't know about you but I really like the concept and as for now my favorites are:

Tristam and Lady of the lake (holos, of course)

Lancelot (an almost-black red creme?)

Galahad

Avalon

Guenievre

Perceval
