Zoya Summer 2013 Pixie Dust Collection

Today I have for you the new Zoya PixieDust Summer Collection! I don't know about you guys but when the first PixieDusts ended up being 10x nicer than I thought they would be, I was hungry for more of these polishes. Thankfully, Zoya released another collection of these babies! After the jump, swatch, review, and some nail art!

There are 6 colors in this collection, I kinda wish there was a green or turquoise though! Beggars can't be choosers ;]


On to my swatches!

Zoya PixieDust Miranda

Miranda is described by Zoya as a "rose sparkle". I ended up liking this color a lot more than I thought I did. Miranda is a very pretty, sparkly, pink. I did 2 coats, and the formula was great. I felt like all the new PixieDusts applied just as well as the first set of PixieDusts.


Zoya PixieDust Destiny

Zoya Destiny is a "coral metal sparkle". Whatever that means haha I'm guessing the metal part of their description fits in with the slight gold flashes this polish has at certain angles. I tried to capture the gold flashes, I feel you can see it best in the last macro shot. This polish is a bright, fun coral color. I really liked this one, It's one of my favorites in this collection. This was 2 coats, no issues and a great formula.

Beatrix is a "tangerine metal sparkle". Again with the metal description! haha This is a true orange (think orange soda!) color with some flashes of gold. I did 2 coats, no issues and a great formula. I'd say Beatrix and Destiny are the two brightest polish in this collection of 6.


Zoya PixieDust Solange

Solange is a "gold metal foil sparkle". This polish is a stunning gold color and I think the texture makes it 10x better. VERY blingy. Like the others - no issues with this polish, great application and 2 coats.

Zoya PixieDust Liberty

Liberty is a "blue sugary sparkle". This one is my favorite. It's a deep blue color that is still bright and sparkly thanks to the texture finish. It kind of reminds me of China Glaze Dorothy Who. Forgive me on the macro picture, the color is a bit off. I did 2 coats of Liberty, no issues and a great formula again.

Zoya PixieDust Stevie

Zoya Stevie is a "violet sparkle". Stevie reminds me of Zoya Perrie, only sparkly and awesome-r haha. It's a very pretty medium purple color. Another favorite of mine from this collection. I did 2 coats of Stevie, no complaints or issues, everything was perfect.

I've been wanting to do a little nail art with the PixieDust polishes since I received them. I came up with this idea because I thought of those sand art bottles I used to love doing when I was younger haha:

Kinda reminds you of some useless sand art bottles you don't know what to do with when you move out of your parents', huh? LOL All I did was use a striping brush to apply the polish ;]

Zoya Summer 2013 PixieDust Collection

 I'd say for my top 3 picks: Liberty, Stevie, and Destiny! If you missed my last PixieDust Collection swatches, you can see them here.

Oh! And remember, when you apply PixieDust polishes, per Zoya instruction: "Do not use a base coat or top coat. Apply 1-3 (for full coverage) thin coats of polish. Allow product to dry down completely matte in between layers for full textured effect. The PixieDust textured formula may take up to 10 minutes to dry completely matte. Once dry, the textured finish is long lasting, matte and ultra-glittery! "
