Desi's Thoughts on Zoya Pixie Dust

I was incredibly excited to discover a bottle of Zoya's new Pixie Dust polish in the color "London" in my mail box last week, a gift from Mommies' Manis own Nik. It wasn't a surprise, as Nik told me she sent it. However, nail mail always makes me happy, surprise or otherwise, and I've been eyeing the Pixie Dust collection for awhile. I couldn't wait to try it, so I immediately put two coats on my bare nails. Instant love. It went on smoothly, and while textured, it didn't snag or pull on hair/clothing/etc as I feared it might. The gray sparkles are right up my alley, as gray is my go-to neutral. I couldn't stop staring at my hands, especially in the sunlight! Pixie dust, indeed! I can't wait to get my hands on more. I was especially thrilled with how easily the polish removed. I expected a nightmare, like glitter polishes, but this came off as easily as any other polish. LOVE!!

Pardon my awful-looking fingers. They need some TLC!

I can't wait to get my hands on more. I'm especially excited about the new colors coming for Summer 2013. They'll be available April 1! I hope that's no April Fool's Day prank...



I want Liberty, Stevie, & Miranda!

Nik's thoughts on Pixie Dust

Alright, the long-awaited and wished for Zoya Pixie Dust is mine! I have London (gray) and Godiva (nude/gold).

I bought them off eBay, which saved me money. The initial price was $9 something, and shipping was $1 something. Take that crazy priced Zoya website shipping!

In general, I'm a big fan. The texture is fun, and not annoying. Ollie noticed it and had a thing for holding my fingernails. The sparkle is super pretty and can be seen even in low light!

It went on well. I used three coats of London and it was definitely opaque. It didn't take much longer than normal to dry to full matte effect, and I love that I accidentally marred one nail and you couldn't even tell.

The website says its "long lasting" though I don't know what their definition of long is. I put it on Saturday and chipped four nails Sunday. I'm about to remove it because I feel like it catches on my hair on the chipped nails now and it's driving me nuts.

They say not to use base or top coat, so I didn't.

Here area photos! I can't wait to own more polishes like this. Gotta sell some mobiles first though!

Can't wait to read what Desi thinks of it!
