A England Jane Eyre and some bonus stamping

Hello again lovelies! I told you I was busy with posts! It's looking like I will have multiple posts every day for a bit. But hey, that means more gorgeous polish, right?

It's no secret that I am absolutely head over heels in love with A England. Today's A England Beauty is no exception. If anything, it has led to an even deeper love of Adina's utterly perfect creations. This post is pic heavy since I added some stamping after the fact. So, let's see some polish!

                                          A England Gothic Beauties: Jane Eyre

"Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt? May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine.  May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agonized as in that hour left my lips; for never may you, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love"

-Jane Eyre, Chapter 27

Jane Eyre is a classic novel written by Charlotte Bronte. Published in 1847, Jane Eyre was considered by many to be ahead of its time due to its portrayal of such a strong female protagonist and subject matter such as religion, sexuality, and feminism . The novel follows Jane from a young orphan into adulthood and chronicles her love for one Mr. Rochester. Jane Eyre remains one of my favorite novels, alongside Tess of the d'Urbervilles (which, contrary to popular belief, existed and was beloved even before Fifty Shades of Grey used it to punctuate it's sex scenes ;) ).

A England's Jane Eyre boasts Fiery Red shimmer interspersed within a blackened base. In Natural light, Jane Eyre shines with a subtle glow, a dark gem lit with soft red flames. In direct light, Jane Eyre come to life, resembling polished onyx reflecting the coppery flames of a roaring fire.  Much like the fictional character, Jane Eyre seems simple at first glance, but upon inspection is complex and deep, dark and brooding yet with an inner glow that cannot be dismissed. Simply put, it is Blackened Red at it's finest.

I've decided to showcase Jane Eyre with some stamping first, since it has been shown beautifully on several blogs.  I chose Red Angel Plate RA 106 with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Wined Up as my stamping polish. I love the result!

And of course, a couple shots of Jane Eyre before stamping. Please note that the polish looks kind of textured in these shots - what you're seeing is actually the reflection of my backdrop and other objects around me. The Shield top coat is amazingly shiny and reflective, and I need to change my lighting to accommodate when I use this!

I adore blackened red polish, and Jane Eyre is simply the most stunning Blackened Red out there. Obviously, I am in love!

Formula:
Jane Eyre boasts the famous A England formula: thicker than other polish, yet not too thick - the perfect consistency. No thickening during use, no dragging, balding, glopping or gooping.

Application:
Jane Eyre applied beautifully, staying right where I put it on every brush stroke. A bit sheer on the first coat, she builds to perfect opacity with the second. Truly a dream to apply.

Although I love every single polish in the Gothic Beauties Collection, Jane Eyre holds a special place in my polish loving heart. If you love both Reds and Blacks, Jane Eyre is an absolute must have. It's also a perfect alternative to plain black - still deep and dark but with a subtle flash of color.

All A England polishes are 3 free and can be purchased from the A England Website ( with free worldwide shipping), as well as Llarowe, and Ninja Polish. Adina is currently running a special on certain polishes, so be sure to check it out!

I did create a really pretty stamping mani using Jane Eyre as a base color, which I'll be posting soon!
