ABC Challenge: "G" is for Galahad

Hello again lovelies! It's time for another ABC Challenge post!

Today's challenge is the letter "G". I've really been looking forward to this one since I've been dying to use this particular polish. My only problem was deciding what to do with it! Glitter? Tape mani? stamping? So many options, but in the end stamping won out.

For "G" I chose my all time favorite teal, A-England Galahad. If you haven't seen this gorgeous polish, you may be living under a rock! It is a stunning bright teal creme, and one of the most popular A-England polishes. I drooled over this baby for a good long time, and Adina was sweet enough to send this to me as a gift awhile back. (Adina is quite possibly the sweetest person on earth. I adore her!)

I decided to pair Galahad with some one of my Sally Hansen Lustre Shines and Mash stamping plates. I have a thing for tone on tone stamping, and who can resist bubbles? I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. It's always a good day when I get to wear my A-England's, and stamping always perks me up.

Al photos are 2 coats of A-England Galahad over The Knight Base Coat and topped with The Shield Top Coat. Stamping done with Sally Hansen Lustre Shine in Scarab and Mash-43. (I'll apologize now for the washed out skin tone. Charlie decided that playing knock over mom's lighting would be an excellent game, so I'm down a lamp until tomorrow night. Boo!)








 *Sigh*. I just looooove Galahad. This particular shade of teal always reminds me of tropical ocean. IMO it's the perfect teal and a must have. Galahad has the typical A-England formula that I love so dearly - smooth and creamy, thick yet easy to work with and never any thickening or gooping. Polishing is my Zen, but applying an A-England is truly a joy.

If you haven't tried Adina's masterpieces yet, I would suggest hitting Llarowe, Ninja Polish, or Nail Polish Canada ASAP. Due to the Royal Mail fiasco, Adina is unable to ship outside of England at the moment, which means that A-England's are going fast everywhere. We're all hoping that RM has a change of heart soon, since this move would destroy everything that Adina has worked so hard to build, and break the hearts of all of us A-England fanatics. 

What do *you* think of Galahad? What's your favorite A-England?

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
