a-England Order Of The Garter

As the only non-holographic polish in a-England's The Legend Collection, blue glassfleck Order of the Garter might be easy to overlook. But it's still a beautiful shade in its own right with great color and depth to it. Would I love to have a linear blue holo? Yes, but I'm still happy with a lovely blue glassfleck too!





Order of the Garter reminds me a lot of Sally Hansen Laser. I have Laser in my collection already so maybe I will do a comparison post in the near future to see how close these two really are. But I can tell they're definitely in the same ballpark.


The formula on Order of the Garter is on the thick side but still workable. It doesn't go on as smoothly as its holographic brethren but application is decent overall. I used two coats here. I didn't use a basecoat and had no issues with staining. Yay!

This is a very beautiful polish--a worthy addition to any a-England collection. (If you haven't tried the brand yet, start with the holos and then you'll be absolutely hooked! I've yet to try and a-England polish that didn't meet or, more often, exceed my expectations.) I love how the shimmer gives this shade a nice inner glow and adds some complexity. I'll be curious to see if Laser proves to be a dupe for this one. Stay tuned...

  6. This really is pretty-but I wish it was a holo as well! I'm on a mission-can you please disable your word verification-my poor old eyes can't see the letters!

  7. Thanks girls! :) Glad you all like it as much as I do! And Fingers, I'll give disabling my word verification a shot--I really see no need to have it on so long as spammage doesn't become a problem. Hope that helps!
