A-England Tristam

So I took the plunge to order the holos from A-England's website. They are offering free shipping worldwide, so why not?

I bought 2 polishes, both of them holos. Coming right up is Tristam.

It's a blue holo.

But anyhow, the colour is really nice. I like! Consistency is abit on the thick side. The brush is round but I'm alright with that since I'm getting quite good with polishing after doing manicures after manicures - at least once a week. Drying time is a little slow, so I had to use Seche's top coat. Otherwise, I will definately smudge this.... because I need to freaking wash the wok after this.

This is 2 coats.

OPI Baby It's Coal Outside

I'm in the 'black' mood lately. Not sure why, it seems to look better with my skin tone.

Here's OPI Baby It's Coal Outside. Quite an old colour but I absolutely love it. Notice the faint shimmer? I love it as it does not overpower the dark charcoal colour.

Application was easy. However, this is 3 coats. It was as opaque as I wished it'd be at 2 coats. Surprisingly, this formula dries up on the nail quite fast.

Concealer: ELF Studio Complete Coverage Concealer

My current concealer ran out recently. I was using the Averine Cover Spot in Medium for many years and decided wanted to try something else this cost me about RM68. It comes in a lipstick form but, I'll talk about this some other time.

The texture is somewhat creamy but not that creamy. Colour wise, it's OK for me as I have a light tan skin. Apparently, I'm able to use all 4 shades. However, I do mix 2 shades sometimes, especially for the light ones to accomodate my skin colour at times.

Coverage wise, it's covers light redness well but other than that, it's not as impressive as I thought it'd be. It doesn't cover dark under eye circle well as mine is really dark.

It's cheap at $3 but I don't think I'll be purchasing a 2nd one. I'm definately going back to Averine's Cover Spot once this runs out.
