Zoya Carter

Hi, you guys! :-)

Today, I've got the last but certainly not least of the Zoya Fall PixieDust Collection to share with you. Carter is a dark purple filled with tons of sparkly bright purple glitters that dry down to a textured matte glitter finish.

This is such a sparkly and glowy polish, not to be missed by all you purple-lovers. :-) Application is quite easy without any issues. The first coat looks to be thin, but the second coat is able to fill in enough. I ended up being happy with the coverage at two coats, so I stopped there and that's what you see in the swatches. You can probably add a third coat if you want total opacity.

Now that I've tried all the colors in this collection, I have to say it's probably my favorite PixieDust collection to date. It's a little hard to pick favorites out of this collection because all the colors are beautiful, but if I had to, I would say my must-haves are Tomoko, Arabella, and Carter. I'd love to know what you think of this collection. What are your favs and which will be making it into your stash?

You can find Carter 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 Sunshine

Good morning! :)

Today, I've got another color from the Zoya Fall PixieDust Collection to share with you. Sunshine is a slightly muted dark navy/denim blue with lots of silver glitters that dry down to a textured matte glitter finish.

Sunshine's formula is a lot like Chita's. It's pigmented and maybe just a tad on the thick side, though still easy to control. One coat is definitely sufficient to obtain total coverage, and that's what you see in the swatches. :) My only beef with this polish is that the name is a little odd. Sunshine makes me think of warm-toned yellows and oranges... maybe even reds if we're stretching it. It definitely doesn't make me think of cool-toned denim blues lol. :D

You can find Sunshine 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 Arabella

Hello there! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! :) The highlight of my weekend was that my college bestie was in town, so I had a lot of fun catching up with her and relaxing.

Today, I've got another sparkly number from the Zoya Fall PixieDust Collection to share with you. Arabella is a vibrant magenta pink with lots of silver and pink glitters that dry down to a textured matte glitter finish.

Bright, jewel-toned pinks always catch my attention, and this one is no exception. Pinks were my very first polish-love and always hold a special place in my heart. :) This has a fantastic formula. It's smooth and easy to apply, and all the glitters and gritty particles distribute evenly across the nails. And just the two standard coats gets you the perfect coverage.

You can find Arabella 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 Dhara

Hi, you guys! It's Thursday, so the week's almost over! (TGIT, right?) It's one of those weeks where I've been so busy, but I've accomplished almost nothing because random things pop up and distract me from my actual tasks (this is especially true at work). Then more and more tasks pile on, and I start shutting down because I can't figure out how to make progress. *sigh*

Anyways, enough of that. :P Today, I've got another fun color from the Zoya Fall PixieDust Collection to share with you. Dhara is the most juicy, vibrant coral orange with gold glitters that dry to a textured matte glitter finish.

This color is just delicious! It reminds me of the intense color of orange sodas. :-) The formula is great, so application is super easy. The glitters and texture particles spread out evenly across the nails, and two coats is all you need for complete coverage. I think this orange is great not just for fall, but also fun all year round.

You can find Dhara 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.
