A-England Titania Fairy Queen

Like A Midsummer Night's Dream and Oberon Fairy King, Titania Fairy Queen was released in April this year as part of A-England's Shakespeare's Fairies collection. Officially described as a silvery white hologram with additional iridescent glimmer, it reads as a very light, translucent silver-grey or platinum on the nail, within which are suspended countless glimmering holographic particles that give the polish a luminous, snowy visual texture. There's a dimensional, glowing prismatic flush in ambient light, shimmering pastel gradations of yellow, pink and violet, and a glorious, sparkling scattered holographic display in the sun.

Application was lovely. The consistency of Titania Fairy Queen is fluid, light and smooth with a medium viscosity and a fluent, silky, self-leveling slip over the nail. Pigmentation is sheer but the coverage is very even. I could still see hints of nail line at two coats so I added a third. Cleanup is easy. Titania Fairy Queen dries naturally in very good time to a beautiful glossy finish.

I love the translucence of this polish. It lets in all kinds of light to fire up the clouds of holographic particles, giving the impression as you study it that each particle is individually illuminated at some point or other. It's like a magical, miniature snowstorm of tiny glowing flakes on each nail, very dimensional and luminous. The iridescent shimmers are even finer than the holo particles, and really can't compete with the prismatic light play but do offer a faint lavender sheen in certain viewing circumstances. There's an airy, ethereal feel to this pale platinum scattered holo that is wholly different from the brash, futuristic sensibility that often accompanies silver holographic polish.
