Zoya PixieDust Summer Collection

I'm excited to share with you today my swatches of the Zoya PixieDust Summer collection. This collection contains six bright, vibrant texture shades. As with the previous PixieDust collection, these are loaded with glitter and sparkle that is so hard to capture in photos, but is stunning in real life....


All of these PixieDust shades have a great 2-3 coat formula for full coverage. Application is similar to a standard polish and they all have great wear time. They are dry to the touch in 10-15 minutes, but do take longer to be fully dry and matte. I gave each of them about an hour to dry before photographing. Because these are loaded with flakies/glitter, removal of these is similar or slightly better than a glitter. None of them really required use of the foil removal method...

Before I get started with the swatches, I have to warn you that the video card in my computer is acting funny. I am seeing these colors properly and I hope you are too. Please let me know if they look off to you...

Solange
A bright yellow gold loaded with gold sparkle. I used two coats for the swatches with good coverage, although a third coat probably wouldn't have hurt...

Liberty
A bright primary blue shade with lighter blue glitter. I used two coats for the swatches for good coverage. The nail line is not as visible in real life as it is in the photos. Even if it wasn't named Liberty, this one screams that it would be perfect for a 4th of July mani. This one does stain the nails, so don't skip on the basecoat as it does help a bit...

  1. I love how you provide a close up and swatch details. Awesome work! I don't own any of these and probably won't because I don't like the texture.
