ZOYA Pixie Dust Review



WOO! Today I am sharing with you my review and swatches for the new ZOYA Pixie Dust Collection! I am totally in love with this collection, and the textured finish trend in general. I love the feel, the way it looks, and especially the wear. I got really great wear with these! (which is saying a lot, since my hands are wet a lot of my work day)

Hit the jump for the swatches and reviews!

A closeup of just 1 coat:



Ruby red sparkle 

This vivid, ruby sparkle polish evokes memories of Dorothy's ruby slippers, and man is it a stunner. When it's wet (or with a HEAVY DUTY topcoat), it looks like liquid rubies; when it's dry, it loses some of the sheen, but not to its detriment, it actually adds great depth to the color!

Opacity scale (1-5): 4

Finish: Pixie Dust (textured matte), 2-3 coats to be opaque










Black and silver sparkle 

This one is sure to make you want to hit the road (in a GREAT way!), it glistens like fresh asphalt or roofing shingles. This was definitely one of my favorites!

Opacity scale (1-5): 3

Finish: Pixie Dust (textured matte), 3 coats to be opaque










Foggy grey and silver sparkle 

Super chic and simple, who doesn't love a great grey polish? Add ZOYA's awesome PixieDust finish, and it's a definite winner.

Opacity scale (1-5): 2.75

Finish: Pixie Dust (textured matte), 3 coats to be opaque








Zoya Nyx

Periwinkle sparkle 

I love that this one can be a perfect transition from Winter to Spring. Perfect for Winter with its icy sparkle, and exactly what spring is begging for with the periwinkle!

Opacity scale (1-5): 2

Finish: Pixie Dust (textured matte), 3 coats to be opaque











Pistachio sparkle 

This one makes me think of vintage stand mixers and mint or pistachio gelato. While I really love this color, it's one that gives me lobster hands. :( Damn this skintone!

Opacity scale (1-5): 2

Finish: Pixie Dust (textured matte), 3 coats to be opaque









Nude and silver sparkle 

This is my #1 favorite polish in this collection. Despite my love for crazy nail art, I will NEVER, EVER, EVER turn down a great nude, which is precisely what this is! It's pretty and different enough to be edgy, but 100% office-friendly. It looks like actual sand when it dries, or little champagne bubbles dancing across my fingertips. 

Opacity scale (1-5): 2

Finish: Pixie Dust (textured matte), 3 coats to be opaque
