I must say, I have never been let down by an A-England polish. Another amazing colour with a flawless formula. Princess Sabra is a gorgeous golden-olive with a linear holographic effect. This was such a dream to apply and wear... it just feels effortlessly chic.
I decided to attempt an accent nail with Black Cat Lacquer's Black Hole, although I think a different base colour might have helped it pop more. Love the holographic black diamond glitter in this, though. The bottle looked amazing in the sun (somewhat visible in the second picture).
What do you think of A-England's Princess Sabra? Can you think of any other possible pairings for Black Hole?
Finally, I'll leave you with a few details about a recent purchase; every holiday I look forward to holiday-themed scents. Philosophy is a notable one for putting out delicious-smelling shower gels, and this year I couldn't resist their "Cookbook": a set of four scented shower gels in Old-Fashioned Eggnog, Buttered Rum, Cinnamon Buns, and Peppermint Bark.
I'm happy to say that all of these smell delicious, and I've especially been enjoying the eggnog and buttered rum scents... because it's basically a perfect start to the day when I can roll out of bed, jump into the shower, and come out smelling like rum.
Sabra is such a beautiful Princess - I'm not sure I like the layering....
ReplyDeleteI agree- I'll have another layering combo featuring Black Hole in the future, over a darker base, though. It's much better!
DeleteI would love to see a swatch for Black Hole! And I looove those Philosophy scents, although I never bought any...I just used the birthday cake one they gave me for my birthday. But you last sentence cracked me up. The founder of Pirate Polish WOULD appreciate starting off the day smelling like rum! I'm more of a bourbon girl myself though ;)
ReplyDeleteI've got another (better) swatch of Black Hole coming up in the future. It's much better. And glad you got a kick out of the rum line. I thought it was quite appropriate, too! :D
Deletegorgeous! and i love philosophy! i wish i could smell them right now!
ReplyDeleteSo delicious! Although now that I'm trying the Peppermint Bark, I have to say it's my least favourite of the scents. It's kinda wonky. :P
DeleteThat's a beautiful color on you! You're right, it's very chic. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Philosophy too. I just got their Melon Daiquiri shower gel and it smells amazing. :D

Mmm, I'll put Melon Daiquiri on the list of future shower gel purchases!
