Holy Grail by aEngland and Elizabeth's Bad Curtains by Lacquistry Nail Polish

WOW!  Today I have a duplicate post of yesterday.  Well, maybe not a complete dupe, but I am using the same brand of polishes!

I will be showing you Holy Grail created by aEngland.  She is part of their Mythicals Collection.  Her color being a stunningly gorgeous antique gold that in my opinion leans toward the bronze spectrum of amazing glow.   As usual aEngland did not disappoint me with their superb formulation.

The next polish is Elizabeth's Bad Curtains created by Jenna of Lacquistry Nail Polish.   Per Jenna her Uncle used to have these curtains in his house that were this thick scratchy brown material with orange and yellow threads woven throughout. They were hideously Bad Curtains!

Elizabeth's Bad Curtains has a clear base with fine dark brown glitter with brown holo, sparkling orange and matte yellow mini hex.  The orange glitter glows like diamonds off my nails.
 
Elizabeth's Bad Curtains is named after Elizabeth Stern who was one of the winners of the Facebook "namegame" contest back in the beginning of the year.

I applied two coats of the glorious Holy Grail as a base.  Then layering only one coat of Elizabeth's Bad Curtains.  Oh! The awesome formulation of Jenna's creations!  This bottle is filled to the brim and glitter flowed from it's brush in an even and thorough coverage. I completed my manicure with one coat of Gelous and one coat of SV topcoat.

How about checking out this unique gorgeous combination?


 This is the truly amazing, Holy Grail!

And, this is her behind shot!

 Look!  There's a name tag!

 A close up of our golden bronze beauty!

My camera picked up the antique of the gold!

 Holy Grail is another chic nail look!

What is that polish you are wearing?

 That is the question you will receive when you wear this goddess!

Be prepared to shove your hand out in front of you with fingers extended!

 And, say...What?  This old polish!  Oh it's nothing!

 Nothing?  Is that what we read on her name tag?

Nooooo!  That was not her name!

Her name is Holy Grail!  And don't you forget it!

 She is a splendor of warmth!  A glowing golden bronze on your nails!


 Now it's time for our Elizabeth's Bad Curtains!

 Oh!  we can see her back side!  All you have to do is look through the window!  Peek-a-boo!

 She has her name label sewn into her hem!!  Pull the curtains away from the wall...You can see her label now!

Just glaze into those colors!  I dare you not to remember the 70's!

 These curtains do have some magical power because they turn gorgeous on your nails!

 The colors that were so popular in the 70"s are now delicious fall colors!

 They explode into orange embers that explode from your fingers!

 The dimension, the depth that has been created!

 You would never want to close these curtains!

The orange twinkling embers glow all the way across a room!

 As I was typing this my sweet hubby just said out loud....Your polish is soooo pretty!

 So expect those compliments on this awesome combination!

 It is the perfect manicure for windy, blistery fall days!
 
 Perhaps, as you set the table for Thanksgiving!

 As you bring that beautiful browned turkey out of the oven!


 And you bring your bounty to the table!

 And, your family catches those orange sparks as you fold your hands in thankful prayer!

Dragon by aEngland & Midnight in Schuman Forest by Lacquistry!

I have two gorgeous creations to share with you today my friends!

I combined their glory together to produce an outstandingly stunning combination.

First I have Dragon by aEngland.  This polish is so chic.  If you ever want to just stand out and say I have style then you definitely need Dragon in your stash. 

He has been described as:  Like sunlight glinting off his iridescent mossy green scales, the fearsome Dragon lays basking arrogantly, awaiting his due.  How can you beat that?

In my manicure I choose Dragon to be my base coat.  I applied just two coats.  This polish is so rich and wonderful that I could have gotten off just applying one coat.  You just can't go wrong with the the aEngland formulations.  They truly are the best out there.

Next I layered the next polish.  This is another outstanding formulation of glitters.  I have never had the pleasure of owning a polish created by Jenna of Lacquistry.  I now own three!!  The one I choose to layer over Dragon is Midnight in Schuman Forest.  Ohmygoodness!!  Per JennaMidnight in Schuman Forest was inspired by starlit woodlands bathed in moonlight. In a clear base we have deep navy for the night sky, a tiny bit of brown mini hex for the tree trunks, olive green for the darkened tree tops, and tiny bits of silver for the starlight.   This polish was named after Jennifer Schuman who was a winner of the Facebook "namegame" contest back in the beginning of the year.




I'm sure after reading both descriptions you now understand how I just had to combine these unique and one of a kind polishes.

Le me show you something wondrous!

What can I say?  Here is Dragon!

He did agree to show his backside.....but, I don't know what he did with his tail!

Mr Dragon was also nice enough to wear his name tag!!  I asked him if Dragon was a nick-name!!

Here is a close up of his green scales!  Do you see the golden sun bursting off him?

Oh, He is a lovely!!

I wasn't just kidding when I said he is gorgeous!

 And stunning!

And such a chic green!

 He is a understatement of green!

 People are going to stop you on the street and ask you what type of Dragon that you're wearing!

I wonder if this magic Dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee!

I bet he played with Puff and Little Jackie Paper!!  Don't you?


 This is....Midnight in Schuman Forest!!

I did have a little difficulty in shotting his back side mainly because it was so big!!


 A close up....Can you see those gorgeous trees in the midnight sky?

 He did have his name sign right at the beginning of the forest.  You know all good forests do have names and name plates!!

Look at them!!  They were made for each other!

 OK!!  Now for you to see this beautiful combination in work!!

The depth of the forest is beyond words!

I think if you look real close you can see Mr Dragon playing with Puff and Little Jackie Paper!

I wonder where Schuman Forest is located...Oh yes!  In the Land of Honah Lee!!

Have you ever seen such beauty as this forest?

Outstanding!

 I've been avoiding this, but you know one grey night it happened, Jackie paper came no more, and  the mighty Dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.


 A Dragon lives forever but not so little boys.   Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.

The Dragon bent his head in sorrow, green scales fell like rain!

Without his life-long friend, he could not be brave!


So mighty Dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!
