A England Dancing With Nureyev

When I first saw the A England Ballerina Collection, I knew that Dancing With Nureyev was the one I really wanted, so when Adina had her last sale, I leapt in and got it, along with Her Rose Adagio. I had dithered for a while in case it was too pale, and some swatches looked like the blue was quite subtle but actually its a lot bluer than I expected and I absolutely love it.
It is an interesting shade as in some lights I'd say it's a soft cornflower blue, in others it's quite steely. In the sunlight the holo is just gorgeous, stronger than my pictures have picked up and is pretty visible to the naked eye in most lights. I do find the holo has the effect of softening shades and I think that makes them very wearable.
The quality was lovely as ever, almost opaque in 1 coat; I have used 2 coats here and a topcoat. It painted on nicely, dried quickly and lasted well.
At the weekend I met up with some great friends who share my love of nail polish, so obviously it was extra important to have something special on my nails. I think I made a good choice, and luckily the sun shone, my nails looked the best that they could, and we all ate and chatted (mostly about nails) and had a wonderful time.
