a England Burne-Jones Dream Collection - Swatches and Review ♥

Press Sample


Good evening! I have a huge post for you tonight that is very pic heavy. I apologize for having so many photos but I wanted to show you all of the sides of these polishes. 

A England's new collection, the Burne-Jones Dream Collection, is inspired by a series of paintings by Edward Burne-Jones that were based on The Legend of Briar Rose (Sleeping Beauty). If you would like to learn more about the inspiration, visit  Lucy's Stash's blog here because she has done an amazing post about it.

There will be one more polish in this collection but it has not been released yet.




Continued after the jump!




The formula on all of these is fabulous, as we have all come to expect from a England. Three out of the four are easy one-coaters (although I did use 2 coats and no topcoat for all photos). Fated Prince is slightly less opaque than the others but is still opaque in 2 coats. All are "tightly scattered" holos (my favorite type of holo!) - Rose Bower is slightly less holographic than the other 3 but still gorgeous!
