Zoya Pixie Dust

Hi all! Today I have for you Zoya's Pixie Dust Collection which are matte, sparkled, and textured. These are 2 to 3 coaters--Chyna, Dahlia and London are 2 coats---Godiva, Nyx and Vespa are 3 coates. For me the lighter colors I could see vnl so I added another coat of polish. Drying time was around 7 to 10 minutes (no base coat as instructions from Zoya's website). Zoya's Pixie Dust Collection feel like a nail file not rough but bumpy. 



Chyna is a wonderful red that sparkles like Judy Garland's shoes she wore when she played Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (but matte). Such a wonderful bright red. 


Dahlia is black with grey sparkles. Dahlia reminds me of a road that has just been paved but it sparkles brightly.


Godiva is a nude as you can see it's really close to my skin tone but Zoya says that it's good for both warm and cool skin tones.


 London is gray with sparkle. London reminds me of storm clouds right before it rains.

 Nyx is a periwinkle that leans more towards purple for me but definitely has blue in it.

 Vespa is a pretty mint green.

All of the Pixie Dust polishes have a wonderful "sugar sparkle" that is silver glitter that really shines nicely . I liked the textured feel it really wasn't bad or over much. I did have a feeling that it might be overly rough or snag in your hair if you play with it...nope none of those issues at all.

What do you think? Will you try some of these? What is your favorite?

♥Glitter Fade♥

This is just a short post about a glitter fade I tired out over the weekend,  and let me just say I loved it:)  I've been in this polish depression, not wanting to do anything and not very happy with what I had, so I decided to kinda make my own polish (not really), but it felt that way after I finished my mani. So I was going to start this mani with sponging but quickly found out that with glitter polish you don't have to, just go from thinnest to thickest. NO  sponging required!!! So here is a picture of the polishes I used...Inm Northern Lights, Cover Girl Goddess, Kleancolor Midnight Seduction, NYX 162, and OPI Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous.




Again I started off with INM, it is suppose be a top coat but goes on the thinnest so that's where I started. Next was Cover Girl and with this next polish I moved up from the bed of my nail just a bit(so I could get my fade look). Kleancolor was 3rd and this polish had the most color glitter(lots of red and blue glitter) and again I moved up with the polish. The 4th color was NYX and this polish had the big chunky glitter in it. Last but not least OPI on the very tip, I did this one on the tip because it gave it that completed fade look I was going for. And here a picture of the completed look:)






Hope you guys enjoy this Glitter Fade as much as I did! I think the next thing I'm going to try is a splatter mani! 
Let me know what ya'll think about the mani and tell me what colors I should use on my splatter mani.


Love,
Anne

Today was a rainy, wonderful and busy day... in tribute to this day (our first blog day) I did my nails.
This is Wet n Wild in black. I used only one coat and guess what... thats all I needed. Awesome polish!
The next coat was NYX #162 . Again I only used one coat, gives that extra something to the black. ♥
