Zoya Magical Pixie PixieDust Collection Spring 2014 Swatch and Review
press sample
Wow! What a gorgeous trio I have to show you. The brand new Pixiedusts from Zoya are called magical, well, because they are :) OK, fair warning: This post is picture heavy! Let's dig in!
Zoya Cosmo, Lux and Vega
All three of these shades are colors that speak to me, and I love Zoya Pixiedust so I've been anxiously awaiting these! All swatches are without base or top coat as Zoya recommends.
Zoya Cosmo - Silver Crystal Sparkle, Textured PixieDust with Mega Hex Iridescent Particles, Full Coverage Formula.
All three of these have the same great formula and are full coverage in two coats (my swatches are 2 coats). As you can see, they ARE grittier and slightly rougher than regular Pixies given the larger glitters included in this collection.
As usual, photos don't capture the amazingness that glitters are in person, let alone holo glitters. So expect these to be glitter bombs in real life! They are more textured and chunkier than PixieDust so if you are on the fence about textures you may not be able to deal with it.
I love these and will wear all three for sure!! I'd have a hard time naming a favorite from this trio!
Zoya Vega - Blue Opal Sparkle, Textured PixieDust with Mega Hex Iridescent Particles, Full Coverage Formula.
Ah my favorite shade of blue! Light, with a hint of aqua. Such a pretty color.
Zoya Lux - Rose Quartz Sparkle Textured PixieDust with Mega Hex Iridescent Particles, Full Coverage Formula.
As much as I love each shade, this one, Lux is the one I chose to keep on. It's so so sweet. The combination of this rosy pink and crazy sparkles brings out my inner girl!
I know I'm going overboard here..but I just couldn't help myself! These are so so sparkly that I had a hard time photographing them, and the light reflected back onto my skin. I just wanted to be sure you were getting a good representation of these before you spend!
The swatches on the nail wheel are also 2 coats with no base or top coat.
OK Phew! I'm done gushing. Do you have these on their way to you?
Zoya Magical Pixies are $10 and are available at zoya.com
All the best,
Victoria

I LOVE these so much! Your pics capture the sparkliness better than any I've seen so far.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Can't wait to see yours Kat!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!!♥ can you do a tutorial post about how to remove glitter nail polish? ☺
ReplyDeleteNOOOOO! Don't ever crack a nail, I would cry for you. And you know I would never stay away. And how could I between your blog and IG and Ecopolo and all the FB pages. :0 Totally meant as a huge compliment! <3
ReplyDeleteWow thanks for your quick response! That was the only thing holding me back from getting these right away. But if I can deal with glitter bomb removal I can deal with that. :)
ReplyDeleteI want these so bad! There so pretty!
ReplyDeletePutting these on right now! I love them!!

ReplyDelete:D :D
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautifu! I love them !
ReplyDeletethat's so sweet of you ♥ Thank you ☺
ReplyDeleteyour swatches are so much clearer than ones i've seen.
ReplyDeletei'm still not sold on these so maybe playing around w/ these myself will change my mind.
i am in love with lux. such a lovely color *.*
ReplyDeleteI have to say you did get some of the best pics I've seen yet too, especially the ones on the wheel, the glitter shows so differently there, amazing job!!
ReplyDeleteI myself am torn about these. If they were the original Pixie formula I'd be chomping at the bit to have them, they're such gorgeous colors! But Pixies are the ONLY textured polishes I like so I'm worried the extra texture might be too much for me. Do you think a coat or two of topcoat would dull down the texture enough for an original Pixie fanatic? Also, I almost always use Pixies for designs on regular Zoya colors bc they're amazing for that, but do you think these glitters would pose a problem for things like striping and taping designs? Very curious about your opinion!
lux is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING swatches!
ReplyDeleteThese look beautiful on you!
ReplyDeleteHehe, hopefully this weekend...or tonight!
ReplyDeleteThese look so nice on you!
ReplyDeleteAll three are beautiful, my favourite is Zoya Vega! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches! THey look amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteOh My! Ok, Your swatches for the WIN! These are so gorgeous on you! I love this collection so dang much!!!
ReplyDeleteGAH! SO PRETTY!
ReplyDeleteAw Lizzy <3 Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYES! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelly!
ReplyDelete<3
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, they are so so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Emily!
ReplyDeleteAw!! Thank you Jess! <3
ReplyDeleteThey really are!
ReplyDeleteIt's just perfection! If the texture doesn't bother you.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, sorry about the late response!! Yes, I totally understand your hesitation. These are a bit grittier than regular Pixies...in my opinion worth it for the extra bling and the gorgeous shades. I think it's harder to nail art with them as well, but possible! Check out Jacki from Adventures in Acentone, she did amazing nail art with these three: http://www.adventuresinacetone.com/2014/02/zoya-magical-pixies-nail-art-crisscross.html
ReplyDeleteNo argument from me ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks love! Have you tried yet?
ReplyDeleteGlitter removal post coming soon!! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't help but wonder what these would look like with a very shiny top coat...
ReplyDeletei just got the chance to play w/ them last night. i like them a lot more than i thought they would.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it myself yet, but I'm sure some others have posted about it.
ReplyDeleteThey are just too sparkly not to like, right?
ReplyDeleteLOL. Thanks xoxo
ReplyDeleteDone! I posted my glitter removal tutorial! :) http://www.manicurator.com/2014/03/glitter-nail-polish-removal-tutorial.html
ReplyDeletethanks
ReplyDeleteYou have some of the most amazingly gorgeous nails I have ever seen! And the Zoyas look excellent! Thanks for sharing...I always looks for swatches before I buy Zoyas, since I find their advertised colors sometimes look very different when they're actually on.
