NOTD: Galahad & Mahogany Magic French Tip

Egads, a-england's Galahad chipped on me after one day!  Not sure what was going on with that, I think I was opening a package when it happened.  I'd already had the idea of doing a french tip with Mahogany Magic, so this just sped things up a few days.

I topped off with one coat of Sally Hensen's Tealy Cool, an iridescent micro glitter mix in a blue-green gel base.   I really like the overall effect!

NOTD: a-england's Galahad

a-England's Galahad
I was fortunate enough to get my first two a-england polishes during their recent anniversary sale.  Several of the shades I wanted were sold out, but I was able to get Galahad and Princess Sabra (Tristam Eyes).  I will have to capture the elusive Dragon another day.

Galahad is described as a mystic vibrant blue green, and it's almost a perfect match to a dark turquoise bracelet that I own. Most turquoise that you see is lighter, like this ring.  This is two coats with Seche Vite base and topcoat.  A steadier hand may have been able to get away with one coat, but my polish skills are still a bit lacking.

a-england polishes are available direct for about $14.45 (prices are listed in British pound sterling) or through Llarowe for $12.  a-england shipped for free in the past from their site, not sure if that's still the case.
