From the new A-England collection Elizabeth & Mary, I liked Virgin Queen the best (altough Crown of Thistles is gorgeous too). I was really curious about it, because I've seen both silvery and both bronzy photos about it, and I was really excited that how it's gonna look like on my nails.
Althoug I love the holographic effect, when there is no direct light (well, it's winter, so most of the times these is absolutely NO direct light) the nail polish looks a little bit flat on the nails. It have no shine (so I suggest using topcoat), the color is a greyish-bronzy something, so I'm not that amused by that. Well, the little gold flakes gave some dimension to it, and if I use a clear topcoat it will be ok. I think it's a much better choice for summer though, but I will still using it during winter for detailing and stamping, because I'm not hating the color, but I prefer not to use it on 10 nails again, unless I'm going to a night event or something where are pretty lights and the nail polish can shine :)
Most of the photos were taken with flash, so you can see the amazing holo effect, but I took some pics in natural light too (you know, in this grey, cloudy winter world also named: graveyard for holo nail polishes...:/ ), so you can see what I mean under "flat".
Oh, and btw in these photos you can see the nail polish without topcoat!

| This photo was taken without direct light. You can kind of see the tiny gold flakes. They are defenitely visible in natural light! |
