I've heard a lot of great things about A-England, and I finally got around to ordering a few. I was most excited to try Tristam.
A-England Tristam is a royal blue with a weak, scattered holo shimmer. It's quite pretty and sort of reminds me of a deeper, less holo DS Glamour. It would probably make a great base for Glamour.
There are tons of rave reviews about the formula. So much so that I expected to see rainbows, unicorns, and puppies flow out of the bottle on to my nails with no effort. Obviously, my expectations were far too high. It's a nice formula, and I had no application issues, but I just wasn't blown away.
I took these pictures on day two of wear and I'd already experienced a bit of tipwear and a few chips. I used my normal bc and tc combo of Barielle Hydrating Ridge Filler and Butter London Hard Wear.
Overall, I don't regret this purchase. I was just a little disappointed that it didn't quite live up to the hype.
Tristam retails for £9.00 and is available at a-england.co.uk
