Super Denim with A-England Tristam
I just did a denim post (Blue Jeans) but I couldn’t resist another one. This idea popped into my head the second I saw a-england Tristam in person. The title of this post “Super Denim” is actually the name of the off-brand blue jeans my sister and I endured as children. While everyone else sported Jordache and Guess, we desperately tried to hide the tell-tale Super Denim Letter S’s stiched on the back pockets. But I digress.
Tristam is dark blue with very slight holo particles. It reminds me of a pair of stiff, old-school Wranglers (but way cooler). This mani is two coats. I added the orange stitching using a fine art brush and Sinful Colors Summer Peach. A matte topcoat would have given it a more literal finish, but I couldn’t bear it. I love a good shiny coat over polishes with depth.
My experience with this a-england polish was as amazing as the first one I tried, Galahad. It was practically a one-coater and polished in marvelous, smooth, easy strokes. I’m so taken with this formula! Here’s a shot of just the polish.
Disclosure: At this time, I do not have any material connection to the brands or products used in this post.

haha. I have a very similar denim tale. Gorgeous polish!
Love this color. I also love the description of how easy it applies. I might need some of these polishes. Thanks.
Gorgeous. I love the Tristram, but the contrast with the orange highlight is also pretty awesome!
Wow!! This one is a really unique colour! Love it!
gorgeous color! I have been wanting some of these.
you’re right – my first pair of old-school wranglers came to my mind even before I read the post! (they were so hard to get into…)
