THE MOST HAPPY

The motto Anne Boleyn chose for her coronation. It sounds appropriate to all the wives by the time they where chosen.

Personality: Royal, femininity - purple

It's a royal purple velvety holo with slight pink inner glow.

The quality - as always - was phenomenal, all of the polishes were easy 2 coaters. New thing was (at least for me) a brush change: these came with a wider, flat and rounded brushes.

My favorites: Catherine Howard (teal), Jane Seymour (green), Sir Loyal Heart (brown) és Anne Boleyn (red).
