Amazing Ascalon

One of the brands that I've been introduced to recently, is now one of my favourites: A-England by the creative Adina. There are two collections available at present, and Ascalon is from The Legends. This collection is based on the legend of St George. Ascalon was the name of the sword of St George.


This is a stunning holographic polish. On initial sight it looks to be a simple grey, but when you look closer, you can see a beautiful lilac tint to it. This is my first proper holo polish, and I am simply in love with it! This is an amazing colour, so I'm going to let the pictures do the talking.

The formula is a great consistency and the brush applies the polish evenly; there are no problems with brush strokes with this polish.

You can see the beautiful holo particles in the bottle, and they do translate to the nail!

I've saved the best for last, the next is my favourite photograph!!


I hope the photographs portray Ascalon in it's glory. I couldn't decide which of The Legends to order first, so as per Adina's suggestion I've started from A to Z!

If you haven't tried any A-England polishes I definitely recommend you give them a whirl. You won't be disappointed!

A-England nail polishes retail at £9 and delivery is free.

Have you tried Ascalon? What do you think of it?

  1. I am so tempted by this range, I know I will sucumb eventually . My OH and I are going away for a 3 night break tomorrow, to Chester in Cheshire, where there are some very nice shops, stockbroker belt of this part of the uk, if I don't spend too much at Cheshire Oaks Outlet village I will look at the A-England site when I return. Your nails are very pretty, I wish I could paint mine as nicely. (Maddiemay)

    1. I hope you have a lovely time in Chester, I've heard good things about the outlet shops there! Thank you Alison, you're too kind :) The formula of these A-England polishes is so smooth, it makes it so much easier to apply them. You'd love them :)
