Zoya PixieDust in Chyna and London

(**Zoya products provided for review consideration.**)

Good morning and happy humpday!! 

  Today I have my second PixieDust combination. This past weekend I chose to wear Zoya's Chyna and London(Grey) together. I put these on last Friday and wore them until Monday. Much like Godiva and Dahlia, the wear on these was incredible! I had minimal chips on my nails after Four days of rough wear. 
 Both London and Chyna have AMAZING formulas. Chyna is incredibly saturated with color and deep Ruby Red glittery, sparkly goodness. I've seen many girls describe it as a textured Ruby Slippers (pick one lol... there are so many versions) and I completely agree. It is just beautiful, rich and complex. I did Three thin coats of Chyna.
 London is a slightly sheer concrete Grey base, but it builds up easily in Three coats. London is packed with fine Silver sparkle and as it dries the sparkle becomes more obvious. With all of these textured polishes, it is best to wait a few minutes between coats. This picture was taken 45 minutes after application. As you can see they are already, pretty much, dry here. They did continue to harden and become more textured looking.

 I really loved these Two together. Chyna is in-your-face beautiful and London is painfully chic and edgy. Once again I am adoring what Zoya has done with the textured polish trend. I don't think I can pick a favorite from this PixieDust collection. They are all so pretty in their own special way.

Do you have a favorite textured polish yet? Or is this trend just not for you?

  6. I want to like these but I could never deal with the grit factor on my nails - and then there is the tidbit of I lived with a roofing contractor for some time...and it was an odd period in the 70's when there were colored rooftops that were popular with some folks - the asphalt roof tiles came in all sorts of colors - ditto for doing your driveway in colors and tossing in sparkle glitter...heh..it was the 70's! So that's what I keep thinking of when I see these...the green and the lavender I might be able to deal with (maybe). Call me odd I know many love, love these!

  7. I think these look lovely in the bottle, sparkly and all but not a fan of the texture when it's on the nails. It is interesting though.
