A England ~ Dragon
An Autumn mani
A England’s
Dragon has been sitting in my box of untrieds ever since it came out, so it’s been
there for quite a while now. I think it’s because it’s more autumn-y than I
usually wear – I’m definitely not an Autumn girl.
But today I’m going to take it all the way, because Autumn is running
out!
Here’s my final Autumn mani:
And here’s how it all started! Two easy coats of A England’s Dragon –
great formula, good drying time:
On top of that a layer of “Tequila Lime Glitter” from an indie brand
called MMM! Nails. I got this in a swap, and it’s the only bottle I’ve had from
that brand. It’s a clear base with green microglitter and silver hexes. I
didn’t fish for the hexes and I only got a couple of them.
Then I stamped on it. I found a leaf motif on the stamping plate
Apipila01 and I made a stamping gradient with two polishes from Sally Hansen’s
Insta-Dri collection: Lightening, a crème yellow, and Orange Impulse, an orange
crème. This picture is taken before I topcoated it.
And here’s a flash picture:
The four polishes I used:
This is way out of my comfort zone – I don’t wear any Autumn colours,
clothes or manis, as a rule. But I must admit that I think it’s pretty cool.
What say you?

I have Dragon; maybe not exactly 'my' shade but interesting, slightly duochrome. With the nail art looks like moro pattern in a miniature on my blog roll.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't quite my colour either, but I can use it for nail art like here :)
DeleteMy Dragon also sits in the untrieds - I really like what you did here - sends me vibes of autumn leaves :D
ReplyDeleteI've got my seasons mixed up, haven't I? :D
