Zoya Summer Pixie Dust collection

*polishes provided for review*

Today, I have the Summer Pixie Dust pretties to show y'all.  I will also admit, as I did on Facebook, that I'm starting to like more and more orange polishes.  I was afraid I'd not like the 2 orange-y ones in this collection but I love them.  

I was also going to do a cool collage as a main pic, but ain't nobody got time fo dat.  Between internet issues the past 2 days & spending some girl time in the sun yesterday it took forever just to even get this post up.

I'll stop babbling now and move onto the pretties.  :D 

Beatrix - "Can be best described as a tangerine metal sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Foil Twinkle formula."    I would definitely say this looks like a tangerine peel.  A beautiful orange with a twinkle of yellow.  Though being a fan of the Kill Bill movies, I'm a little sad that Beatrix was orange and not yellow because of the biker gear Uma wore as Beatrix Kiddo.  

Destiny - "Can be best described as a coral metal sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Foil Twinkle formula."  In the bottle, this was reminiscent of China Glaze Riveting at first glance.  When I looked at it better, and under a lamp, I could see the coral/pink peeking through.  It definitely reminds me of the coral you'd see in the ocean, which my mom always had around from working at a place that sold ocean stuffs.  It's pinkish orange, with flecks of gold.

Liberty - "Can be best described as a blue sugary sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Sparkle formula." This one is SOOOOOO stinking beautiful.  It's like an ocean.  You've got that deep blue mixed in with the aqua & it's perfection.  Because of the name and color it makes me want to do something with it and America.  Be warned though, this will stain your nails so IF you use a base coat(it's not suggested to use one) double up on it.  I suggest just applying a glob of lotion or cuticle oil when you go to remove to help out then rubbing a whitening toothpaste into your nails for a bit before washing them.

Miranda - "Can be best described as a rose sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Sparkle formula."  I would describe this more as a raspberry-ish color with a slight golden sparkle.

Solange - "Can be best described as a gold metal foil sparkle featuring a Zoya EXCLUSIVE GOLD PIGMENT in the best-selling Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Foil Twinkle formula."  At first, I thought of mustard seeds with this.  My mom used to make dogwood flowers out of shells & the center was made out of mustard seeds.  A beautiful yellow gold.  Though I think we all have opinions on the name.  :D

Stevie - "Can be best described as a violet sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Sparkle formula."  Now to me, this one looks like purple gumdrops with sugary silver sparkle.

The formula & application on these were great.  I used 3 thin coats though most only really needed 2.  And since they're textured, no need to worry about bubbles.  I placed my hand in front of a fan to cut the drying time WAY down with no problems.  I had no flooding issues, it went where I placed it with no issue.

I think I actually like these better than the first set that came out....well except Chyna.  I think my favs of this are Destiny, Liberty, & Stevie.

These are currently available for order on Zoya.com for $9ea., but are not part of the Earth Day promo.
