Happy Monday, you guys! This weekend went by so fast. I'm not ready to start the new week yet... I'm still in weekend-mode lol. :-)
Today, let's wrap up the Zoya Summer PixieDust Collection with one of my favs of the collection. Liberty is a cool-toned deep blue with a hint of teal and tons of silver and blue glitters that dry to a textured matte glitter finish.
This is such a gorgeous blue, very rich and sparkly! The formula is medium in consistency and pigmented, applying smoothly and evenly and reaching opaque coverage in two coats. Just a note about removal - this blue does tend to stain the skin and cuticles a bit, so proceed carefully.
Now that I have tried the whole Zoya Summer PixieDust Collection, I think my favorites are Solange and Liberty. I love the uniqueness and richness of both, and I think the texture works well with and adds something special to these colors. I'd love to know what you think of this collection. Which are the hits and misses for you, and which will be making it onto your wishlist?
You can find Liberty 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.

Zoya Stevie
Hiiiii there! Happy weekend! :-)
I've got another sparkly textured polish to share with you today from the Zoya Summer PixieDust Collection. Stevie is a cool-toned lavender purple with tons of reflective silver shimmers and glitters that dries to the signature pixiedust textured matte glitter finish.
The purple base color is very rich and pigmented, and the silver glitters add a slightly dusty tone to the lavender. The result is beautiful. The formula is fantastic, as I have come to expect from this collection. It's easy to apply, and builds up to excellent opaque coverage in two coats. This one feels to me like it takes a smidgen longer to dry than some of the others in the collection, but that could be due to the pigmented base.
You can find Stevie 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.

Zoya Miranda
Hi you guys!
Ready for another sparkly glitter from the Zoya Summer PixieDust Collection? Great, cause I have Miranda to show you today! :-) It's a cool-toned raspberry red with lots of pink and silver glitters that dries to a textured matte glitter finish.
The pinkish red of this glitter makes it look like the sugar sprinkles you'd put on your cupcakes. :-) The formula is good, as usual. It goes on smoothly and evenly without any application problems. When you initially apply it, it looks quite glossy, but that will dry down to the expected textured finish. I experienced a slightly longer drying time with this one, but that's probably due to user error of applying a not-thin-enough coat.
You can find Miranda 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.

Zoya Destiny
Hi you guys! Happy middle-of-the-week! :-)
Let's continue along the Zoya Summer PixieDust Collection with another sparkly textured polish today. Destiny is a bright coral pink with plenty of gold and coral shimmers and glitters that dries to a textured matte glitter finish.
Just like all the other polishes in the collection, Destiny has a great formula. It's smooth and easy to apply, spreading out easily across the nails. While its formula is slightly thinner, it's still sufficient to achieve good coverage in two coats.
Just a quick note about Destiny's similarity to OPI Jinx - they both have a pink coral base, but Jinx looks more orange due to its abundance of golden shimmers, while Destiny's more modest amount of golden shimmers makes it a few shades more pink to the eye.
You can find Destiny 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.

Zoya Beatrix
Hi you guys! :-)
I have another sparkly number to share with you today from the Zoya Summer PixieDust Collection. Beatrix is a bright citrus orange with tons of golden orange shimmers and glitters that dries to a textured matte glitter finish.
This is such a gorgeous juicy color... reminds me of summer time and orange sodas yummmm! If you love orange, this one is a must. :-) I think my camera freaked out a little trying to capture all of its sparkliness. The formula is thin, though two coats is still sufficient and it's what I did in the swatches. It's easy to apply, spreading out evenly across the nails without any coaxing. Just be sure to wipe off the brush well so that your application is thin and even, something very important if you want your matte glitters to dry in a reasonable amount of time.
You can find Beatrix 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.

Zoya Solange
Hi you guys! :-)
I'm so excited to have the Zoya Summer PixieDust Collection to share with you. Today let's kick it off with Solange, a bright sunshine golden yellow with tons of sparkly gold glitters that dry to a textured matte glitter finish.
This is such a bright and cheerful color, and works well as a matte texture, making the result quite striking! Zoya says that part of the sparkle comes from a "Zoya exclusive gold pigment". The formula is very good in this one. It's quite easy to apply, spreading out evenly across the nail. The glitters and extra grit particles are quite dense, and the polish is pigmented, so you need just the standard two coats for opaque coverage. Dry time feels decently fast, especially considering it's a textured polish.
You can find Solange 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.
