Alphabet Swatchathon- A England Briar Rose

Hello, my lovely readers, fingers crossed you are all having a really nice week so far. Today's post is the beginning of a series I am starting in the hopes I can get my untried pile of polishes reduced. You are probably not surprised to hear that more than 50% of my polish collection is unswatched. So to remedy this I am going to begin start swatching my untried Indies. I will pick one polish from each brand to swatch, this way I'll be able to try all of the indie brand I own. I am going to do this by going from A-Z by brand. These post's will be quite short, but I hope you enjoy.

To start us off we have A-England this is an indie brand sold here in the UK, all of their polishes are 3 free, cruelty-free and vegan-friendly. They have so many beautiful polishes with fantastic formula's all of the ones I have tried so far have been really easy to work with. 



At this present time, I have 11 A England polishes, out of all of my untried ones I decided to swatch Briar Rose. This is a gorgeous pink toned red linear holographic, this was so easy to apply to the nail and levelled out really well. It took 2 coats to be fully opaque but was very close with just the one, this holographic isn't in your face but still noticeable. This is a fantastic polish for Autumn and Winter if you're not quite ready to let go of those warm toned polishes yet this is a great one to add to your collection.

I am really happy I chose this beautiful polish to start of my Alphabet Swatchathon, A England is definitely a brand I would highly recommend. Their polishes are always lovely to work with and apply to the nail like butter. I will leave links to the A England website and their social media down below.

    Great swatch, I love A England! I do this too, I go down my polish list and take one from each brand I haven't used yet. It takes a while doing only one a week, but it gets done.

Hello, my lovely readers, I hope you have all had a nice week and are looking forward to a relaxing fun filled weekend.
