A England Princess Tears and Comparison Swatch

Happy Friday!! Today I have A England's Princess Tears up for review. I was a little unsure about whether or not I would like this, but I ended up wearing it for 4 days so that speaks for itself. 

Princess Tears is a holographic silver-lilac polish with a very strong lilac purple flash. Unfortunately, I was unable to capture the lilac flash with my camera. The holographic finish in this is pretty strong as far as the rest of the collection goes. Formula was easy to work with and it was completely opaque in two coats.




 2 coats of A England Princess Tears
1 coat of Seche Vite

For a comparison I picked Color Club's Fashion Addict. I have two versions of Fashion Addict, and I chose to swatch it against the less holographic of my bottles.

Middle & pinky fingers = 2 coats of Color Club Fashion Addict
Pointed & ring fingers = 2 coats of A England 

The two are close, but not dupes. Fashion Addict doesn't have the silver undertones and lilac purple flash that Princess Tears has. They are both very nice in their own way.

That's it for today. I hope everyone has a f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c weekend! What are you wearing as your mani? I have had Ozotic 513 on for three days, and I plan on wearing it until Saturday if it keeps up. :)

  2. This looks lovely, although I have Fashion Addict already, and I think those two look similar enough that I don't need both. (Saint George and Dragon are on their way to me, though!)
    I just painted my nails with Dollish Polish I'm a Material Girl, which is kind of amazing!

    1. Thanks! You'll love your two choices. I only have 2 from the collection left to swatch, and so far my favorite has been St George.

  3. I was thinking that this might be a dupe for Fashion Addict so this was a really helpful post. As for my nails, I'm wearing Brucci Kaitlyn's Deep Violet.

  4. Princess Tears is such a beautiful polish!! I need it in my life. Thanks for the comparison, it's pretty close to Fashion Addict. Though I have that one already, I still want Princess Tears though, lol.
