Zoya Nyx

Hi you guys! Happy weekend! I'm running a little late with today's post because it was nice out earlier and I used the opportunity to swatch for the week. I'm only getting around to posting now. :-)

Working through the Zoya PixieDust Collection, I've got another exciting polish to share with you today. Nyx is a muted blue with lots of silver glitters that dries down to a sparkly textured matte glitter.







Nyx is a lovely muted blue, with hints of lavender and gray. The formula is a tad on the sheer side, so three coats is a must for this one. I didn't have application trouble at all with Nyx—I've been learning from my previous experiences :P. I made sure to wipe off the brush well, do very thin coats, and wait a few minutes between each coat. Just like other textured polishes, total dry time is slightly longer, so be sure to plan for that.

You can find Nyx on Zoya.com for $9 for 0.5 fl oz. If you are new to Zoya, you can get your first two bottles of Zoya for $8 - $9 total and free shipping! More info HERE.

    This is such a beautiful color and the texture works so nicely with the shade. So understated and elegant. Your swatches are amazing and kind of make me want to run out and buy this one right now :)

    Oddly enough, I think this is my fave of the bunch. I didn't think it would be from the bottle, but it looks amazing on you!

    This one is so delicate. And the texture is so rough! I think it makes the perfect combination!
