A-England Heavenly Quotes: She Walks In Beauty

Hello Lovelies! So sorry for the late post today! Busy day and things got out from under me!

Today's polish is the second of A-England's new Heavenly Quotes, She Walks In Beauty. Inspired by a poem by Lord Byron, She Walks In Beauty is a liquid tribute to his words and captures it's essence perfectly.  (You knew I wouldn't let you off without a poetic moment, right?)

She Walks In Beauty

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

A-England's She Walks In Beauty is a poetic mix of soft Rose glitters, both small round and medium Hexagonal, set in a soft, shimmer golden base. I swear the Rose glitter shifts in color from Rose to Gold, but that may just be an optical illusion due to the golden shimmer base. Either way, She Walks In Beauty is a true masterpiece. Although entirely opaque in 2 coats on her own (I've read that it takes 3, however when I wore this alone I used 2 coats and it looked perfect!), I chose to layer over A-England Iseult (Popular combo!).

All Photos are (of my wonky right hand!)  1 coat of She Walks In Beauty over 2 Coats of Iseult. I've also used The Knight Base Coat and The Shield Top Coat here.

Check out that shine from The Shield! Man, I love this top coat!!


If this isn't the perfect Pink/Gold glitter, I don't know what is. Layered over Iseult, this is soft, feminine, and subtly sexy. Alone this polish is a soft glitterbomb that commands attention. I cannot tell you how many people stopped me to ask what polish I was wearing today (I talk with my hands, so you can't really miss them!)! I don't know how Adina does it, but she has given us another absolutely perfect gem.

Formula:
I was thrilled to find that She Walks In Beauty wasn't as thick as alot of glitter bombs. The consistency was thick, yet not too thick to flow nicely. As usual with A-England, no thickening during use, no glopping or clumping.

Application:
True to A-England's high standards, She Walks In Beauty applied smoothly and effortlessly. No fishing for glitter, no hand placing. The glitter lay flat on the nail and did not drag or clump. Perfection.

I know some of you aren't all that excited about this one, but I am absolutely head over heels in love. I'm still quite baffled as to why some people aren't achieveing opacity with SWIB and And The Moonbeams.. I had zero issues with either. Obviously they are both versatile layering polishes as well, and I have a few manis in mind.
