Zoya: Seashells (PixieDust) Summer 2016

Press Sample

Hey guys!  I have the second half of the Summer Zoya Collections for you all today. Seashells consists of 6 beautiful PixieDust polishes. I was extremely happy when I saw that Zoya was releasing more Pixies because textures are, by far, my favorite finish. 

I have all 6 shown here as 2 coats, no top coat. When applying Pixies make sure to allow the first coat to dry down completely, then you can add the second coat with no dragging. It will also insure that you get a nice textured finish.

ZOYA INTRODUCES TWO STUNNING NEW COLLECTIONS
FOR SUMMER 2016! 

Zoya Wishes Collection Swatches

Press Sample

So I realized as i was going through my photos that I somehow forgot to post my Zoya Wishes swatches! Silly me. So here are my very late swatches. The Wishes collection was released for Winter 2014, it consists of 2 metallics, 1 creme and 3 Magical Pixies. 

The metallics have excellent formulas, they apply smooth and easy and are perfectly opaque in two coats. They are the perfect thickness, giving you excellent control so there is no flooding the cuticles or sides. 

The creme formula is a bit thinner, I required 3 coats to get it even and opaque. There was minimal flooding but you do need to be more careful with it than with the metallics. 

The Pixies were a little bit of a disappointment for me. I love the original Pixies and I love the original Magical Pixies but these jelly based ones really don't do it for me. They never get very textured, like the glitters just sink into the jelly base too much so they dry too smooth in my opinion. All of the Pixies are shown as 3 coats 

So let's get on with the swatches...

Hello loves and happy new year! I'm still trying to catch up on my Zoya posts! See, I started a new job recently. After not working for almost 3 years getting back into a normal schedule has been a difficult adjustment. Hopefully now that it's been a few weeks and the holidays are coming to an end I can really buckle down and get all my priorities situated! 

Anywho, today I have the Fall Ultra PixieDust trio to show you.

Zoya Summer 2014 Magical Pixie Dust Trio Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Hi guys! I finally have the Zoya Summer Magical Pixies swatched for you! I was originally going to post them much sooner but I figured I'd let the flood of posts die down a little. :) These are a little different from the last Magical Pixie trio, those had a more metallic base where these ones have a jelly base making them a bit more sheer. The formulas are excellent, as I expected them to be, and of course the sparkle is brilliant! 

I have all three shown here as 3 coats no base or top coat.

Like all pixies, you want to make sure to give enough dry time between coats to prevent any clumping, dragging or pulling of glitters.

Zoya: Magical Pixie Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Hello again! I know I already posted once today but I have to catch up on some posts and I figured no one wouldn’t mind a second post, right? Especially since the second one is an  awesome Zoya post! I have the Magical Pixie Trio to show you. These were first announced back at the beginning of the year, when I got that press release I was over the moon excited! It’s no secret I am all about the textured trend. I usually don’t like textures and normally when I find a tend I like I only stick to it for a little while and then I get bored. This is not the case with textured polishes, especially when Zoya keeps releasing such awesome shades! These are a little different than the PixieDust polishes we're used to because they have some added flair! Each of these three have 

All three of these Magical Pixie formulas were consistent with what I have come to expect of Zoya PixieDusts: applying smooth, no flooding or pooling. You will need to make sure your first coat has sufficiently dried before continuing on to the second or you will end up with dragging and clumping.

Hello again! Today I have a little bit of nail art for you all. I’m really quite happy with how this whole thing turned out. Vary rarely do I think of a particular design then have it actually translate the way I pictured it in my mind onto the nail.

Zoya PixieDust Comparisons

Good morning loves! When I did my review of the Fall PixieDust collection I promised you a comparison post of some of those vs a few from the Summer PixieDust collection and one from the original PixieDust collection. This isn't a picture heavy post since all of these shades have been reviewed in previous posts, I just wanted to do a quick post for those who were requesting it!

Hello my polished pretties! I have been waiting to do this post since Zoya first announced back in May that they were releasing these Fall Pixies! I have fast become a textured junkie, I love all the textured polishes I have tried, but I will admit that I love the PixieDust textures the absolute best. They are the least coarse while still maintaining the the texture that I love so much. Plus all of the sparkle, they just dance in the light, better than any others I've tried. These didn't disappoint one bit.

All of the following photos are shown without using a base and top coats, just like Zoya recommends. All are shown as 2 coats with the exception of Tomoko, that one is shown as 3 coats since it was just a tad bit more sheer than the others. Application was amazingly easy, as always. Zoya recommends that you wait until each coat has fully dried, up to 10 minutes, other wise you can end up with a dragging, clumpy mess. Make sure you follow that for hassle free application, I usually wait more along the lines of 3-5 minutes.

Hello and good morning!! I wanted to do a quick post with some nail art using the Zoya Summer PixieDust collection. I've seen a few gradients already so I decided to avoid those and just went with something really simlple. Stripes! I wanted to see how the tutorial I did back in December would look using the Pixies. Here's how it turned out.

“Work Appropriate” nail polish doesn’t have to be boring. (Zoya Press Release)

Press Release

Get to work with the best neutral nail polish: Zoya Godiva

We all know that “work appropriate” fashion and beauty office guidelines vary greatly from company to company depending on the business at hand. And fingernails are often viewed as best covered in clear nail polish, just buffed or a worn in classic French Manicure to error on the side of humdrum and boring but safe in some environments...

Zoya PixieDustTM in Godiva solves this common workplace dilemma with a neutral nail polish color option that is modern, soft and stylish and works as well in the classroom, boardroom and courtroom as it does at a red-carpet movie premieres.

Here’s why... the textured, matte nude nail polish Godiva is beautifully buildable from semi-sheer as a single coat to full-coverage in just two coats, depending on your personal color intensity preference. No matter what, the look is always that of impeccably groomed and modest with just enough sparkle to keep things feminine (and a dare we say a bit sexy too - work it girl!).

The unexpected and huge bonus to Zoya’s PixieDustTM Godiva formulation is that the color dries quickly, requires no base or top coats and is long wearing - which saves precious time for busy professional women (and Mom’s) who always want and need to look their best in a variety of professional situations.

*INSIDER PRO MANICURE TIP*: If you would like to customize Godiva to perfectly match your skin tone, it’s easy. Simply add a drop or two of another Zoya PixieDustTM color, usually Chyna, as desired to the bottle and blend by gently stirring the two shades together. Wearing the color as a semi-sheer single coat also allows your natural skin tone to show through for subtle “naked nail” look that works beautifully with any light or dark skin pigmentation.

See the “Zoya How to apply Zoya PixieDustTM Video” for more great beauty tips and tricks to use when applying Zoya PixieDustTM.
