Zoya PixieDust Swatches Part Two!


Base: none
Color: two coats Zoya London
Top: none (unless otherwise indicated)
Application: excellent (out of poor, average, good, excellent)


Zoya's PixieDust polishes are fast becoming favorites for me personally. I'm so happy to see they are releasing more in bright summery colors in April!!! I have the rest of the current PixieDust polishes for you today, including the amazing Zoya London. London is a medium gray matte sparkle polish. "Fog gray", as Zoya calls it, it's the perfect polish for the name "London". It definitely reminds me of the last time I was in London this past October. The fog was so thick you couldn't see the top of the Eye of London from the other side of the Thames!


London had really great pigmentation, this is two coats. It was lovely to work with and easy to apply. Love this one!


The next two pictures show London with one coat of Gelous. This also looks excellent!




Base: none
Color: three coats Zoya Godiva
Top: none (unless otherwise indicated)
Application: good (out of poor, average, good, excellent)



I was really excited to try Zoya Godiva, a pale creamy nude matte sparkle. There's something super appealing to me about a polish with this new trendy matte sparkle finish in such a proper nude color. Nude glitter is really fun to me! Godiva is a very pale nude, but I do really love it. This is how I'll be wearing nude nails this season!


Godiva is a bit on the sheer side and needed three coats. You can still see a bit of VNL sometimes here, so maybe four coats would be even better. Application was good, the formula seemed a bit thinner than the darker colors in the collection.


The next two pictures show Godiva with one coat of Gelous. This looked so pretty! It really brought out the silver sparkle in the polish!





Base: none
Color: two coats Zoya Dahlia
Top: none (unless otherwise indicated)
Application: excellent (out of poor, average, good, excellent)



Zoya Dahlia is a gorgeous black matte with silver sparkles. I think this one is my favorite of the collection. The sparkle really pops here next to the deep gray-black base. The texture really shows up nicely in this polish too.


Dahlia had great pigmentation, needing only two coats for full opacity. Like Chyna, it was nearly opaque in one. Application was excellent, nice and easy!!


The next two pictures show Dahlia with one coat of Gelous. Dahlia looks fabulous shiny! If you got a not too holo bottle of Zoya Storm like I did, Dahlia with top coat actually looks similar to Zoya Storm.



I really love Zoya's take on the texture polish trend. For the most part, these are easy to work with and look fantastic. I wish they all dried completely a bit faster, it's just something to remember when you go to use these. It won't be the fastest drying mani you've ever done. The lighter three colors are a bit sheer too, but the darker three have great pigmentation. My top two favorites are Chyna and Dahlia, but I honestly wouldn't want to live without any of them. I can't wait to get my paws on the summer PixieDusts!
