a-england Rose Bower from the Burne-Jones Collection is the second a-england nail polish that I’ve ever worn. (You’ll remember getting a sneak peek of it not long ago, if you follow me on Instagram.)

If Dorothy Gale’s ruby slippers had magic fairy dust sprinkled on them, I imagine that they would look like this. Yes, click together 2 nails and say, “There’s no place like home!”

Especially when the sun shines on this polish, it really becomes a looker, and you’ll find it very difficult to stop gawking over it when all the colours come out to play.

In nail-polish circles, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the amazing nail-polish brand called a-england. If you haven’t, start Googling because every nailphile needs to know about them!

So, ta-da, a-england Sleeping Palace from the Burne-Jones Dream Collection is my very first a-england polish!

Was it everything I expected? There’s only one way to find out! 😉
