A serious fave of mine, a England Saint George didn't get to shine boldly in my last mani, and while it was out on my table I decided it very much deserved it's own moment. I've paired it with another aE scattered holo gem, Princess Sabra.

Saint George is a very deep, super saturated teal that leans just a hair more to the green side than the blue. Princess Sabra (aka Tristam Eyes, named for the maker's cat) is a warm, antique gold. Both have that gorgeously unique aE scattered holo finish that's not at all greyed out in lower lighting, but shimmers with a rainbow sheen in bright sunlight.

Princess Sabra absolutely needs the two coats shown here to get the depth of the color in the bottle. Saint George is fine in one somewhat thicker coat, though I'm wearing two here. Both have utterly perfect formulas and utterly perfect brushes that minimize the need for cleanup.

Clearly, as with my last mani, Saint George is pigmented enough to stamp beautifully. I'm using a different image from the same Winstonia W312 plate as the last one, too.

Rating: Saint George's perfect formula, gorgeous color, and A+ wear time mean I can't give it anything other than a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. Interestingly enough, the last time I wore Princess Sabra,
it was also as a pair of stamped accent nails, and I still find it to be a lovely 4 out of 5 star polish.
