Zoya - PixieDust Collection

Hello Hello! And a warm hello to Friday...I've missed you dearly! ;-)  Today I am SO excited to show you the PixieDust collection by Zoya.  I have a couple reasons why this collection is so special to me.  Before I started my blog, before I even started my Facebook page (I did things out of order I suppose), I was extremely active on Zoya's Facebook page!  It was through others that we started calling the Zoya employees Fairies!  I have always thought that was so cute and special to distinguish their brand.  It was decided later that we, the customers and fans, should be called Pixies.

It is so sweet and thoughtful that Zoya has incorporated our little nickname for this stunning collection, which  has been referred to as spun sugar or sand.  I will warn you now, my pictures DO NOT do these justice.  They are unbelievable in person and I am SO glad that I am able to own this collection.


Which brings me to the next reason this is so special to me, because Mr. CC bought it for me! I mentioned it to him in passing and he gave me his card and told me to buy it. I even tried to back out of it since it was quite a bit of money, but he would not hear it. I am glad I "let" him talk me into these. If you are on the fence on these, I hope my love for them will help you choose to snag one, two, or all of them! lol!!

And if you haven't heard, more are coming for Summer! Go Zoya! You are rocking the texture look with style! You can see the others at Lace and Lacquers.  In Lacey's review, she described the texture as emery boards - which is EXACTLY what I was thinking. They are not as rough as I thought they would be. They actually wear extremely well for me, making my nails feel hard and protected. I have thin nails despite my attempts to take biotin and use base coat strengtheners. I feel like PixieDust polishes will be my go to manis if I need something quick and beautiful. With no base coat or top coat, two coats does a great job and you're done. They do dry pretty quickly too!

Zoya wrote this information on the PixieDust collection:
"Infused with magic and wonder! The latest "must-have" nail polish finish - textured, matte and sparkling! This newly developed formula is sure to captivate with a magical sparkle and sugary finish like no other. The color experts at Zoya have created six, long-wearing stunners for the introduction of this enchanting look.

IMPORTANT PixieDust Application Information - 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!"

One more thing before we get to pictures, is the Share the Love information!

https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/01787CCD <------ This is a Share the Love link, which is a way for me to earn points through them! So cool for me, but you guys can get something too! See what Zoya wrote: "Remember EVERYONE WINS with "Share the Love": When someone clicks on your personal link and sets up an online account, a $5 coupon a coupon for a FREE Bottle of Zoya Nail Polish will automatically be placed in their account and can be used immediately on their current order. TIP: If you use this coupon and add 2 more polishes to your order, you get free shipping too! The coupon will appear in the "My Coupons/ Promos" section of their "My Account" Page."

Pretty great deal! I don't see any promotions right now, but I was able to get a bottle of their Qtica Growth Stimulator https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/0111DC19 (another link!) for the price of shipping (a $20 value!) through all their gifts of Share the Love points - didn't even do anything but use a link here and there! Zoya had other promotions over the Holiday season, so they should be bringing back more prizes for Share the Love points soon! YAY! I have some more points that I can't wait to use. :-D

***To reduce repeating myself, for pictures below I have used 2 coats unless otherwise mentioned,  along with no base coat or top coat***

  1. Mad props to Mr. CC!! I have honestly been a little on the fence about these. One day I will want them, the next decide I can live without them. After seeing your swatches...I feel I need these in my life! I just wish Zoya would have a great promo instead of just free shipping right now :-( Flawless swatches as usual :-)
