Application was primo A-England, which is to say: wonderful! The consistency of Angel Grace is fluid, light and creamy with a medium viscosity and a silky, self-leveling slip over the nail, very easy to manipulate with A-England's rounded, flexible brush. Pigmentation is excellent -- it's very nearly a one-coater, but two gives a better density to the color and holographic effects. Cleanup is easy. Angel Grace dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish. Topcoat brightens the color a bit and does not inhibit the holographic effects in any way.
Photos show two coats of Angel Grace over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

This is a decidedly cooler kind of purple than we saw with Crown of Thistles from the brand's 2014 Elizabeth and Mary collection, but they share that exquisite, holographically-generated rosy prismatic bloom that gives both of these polishes so much dimensionality and character.
If you are wondering where in the world Adina found this color in Burne-Jones' painting, it appears in the small flower that lies on the stair near the king's feet.

No detail is too small to escape Adina's eye!
