Zoya Pixie Dust 'Lux'

I've only tried one other Pixie Dust from Zoya before,

but I loved it. SO, I was very anxious to try another one.

When Zoya had their last promo,

I scooped up two.

Here's the first: 'Lux'

'Lux' is a "rose quartz" Pixie Dust. They claim opacity is a 4 (on a scale of 1-5), but I would say it's closer to a 3. Here, I've got 2 coats of it over Covergirl's 'Constant Candy'. 

I couldn't completely capture the jaw-dropping sparkle of this bad boy,

but it's close enough.

Needless to say, the sparkle & shine is INSANE.

Definitely beautiful!

FROM THE VAULT- Lime Crime Carousel Gloss 'Snow-Sicle'

So considering this is my NINTH consecutive day being out of work due to the snow/ice,

I figured this gloss is a perfect one to bring out of the vault and showcase again.

This gloss is completely clear, but filled with holo/iridescent glitter.

It's GORG.

Though I don't wear this very much (mainly because the sticky-ness of it doesn't mesh with my super long hair)- it is really lovely. Very simple and easy with a little bit of pop :)

PCC- 'Winter Wonderland'

Even though Spring is right around the corner for us in TN,

I know lots of states are still dealing with tons of snow.

Here's the last of my Pop Culture Cosmetics winter polishes :)

This is 2 coats of 'Winter Wonderland' over Zoya's Phoebe

'Winter Wonderland' is a clear base with tons of iridescent micro glitter,

small, medium, and large white circle glitter, and large white snowflakes.

I really like it over the blue base.

It makes it look more wintery or something :)

Enchanted Forest

I have another truly lovely polish from Pop Culture Cosmetics for ya'll today.

Being that we got some snow last night,

I figured now was a good time to post it!

Here's 2 coats of 'Enchanted Forest' over 

2 coats of Zoya's 'Gaia' on 3 fingers & Zoya's 'Miley' on my ring finger.

'Enchanted Forest' is a  pearl white polish filled with iridescent shimmer

and small and medium iridescent circle & hex glitter.

It's really delicate and beautiful :)

Especially over 'Gaia'; I like it much better over that than 'Miley'.

What do you guys think about this polish?

Did you get any snow?

PCC- 'Pixie Dust'

Today's fairy polish is my favorite from the 5 that I bought from Pop Culture Cosmetics.

Here's 1 coat of 'Pixie Dust' over 2 coats of Zoya's 'Miley'.

'Pixie Dust' is a "milky crelly... filled with iridescent and pastel colored glitters in various sizes and shapes, including adorable little stars and hearts!

Type: Glitter Crelly

I really love the whimsical nature about this polish.

The iridescent glitter is my favorite.

It looks adorable on a neutral or bare nail,

but I really liked it best over the soft 'Miley' :)

What do you think?

Unicorns in the Mist

Finally! Another nail post! :)

I bought two super awesome looking nail polishes from Starrily recently,

and here is one of them!

This is one coat of 'Unicorn Chronicles' over 2 coats of Sinful Colors' 'In the Mist'.

'Unicorn Chronicles' is a clear base topcoat with differently sized pastel & iridescent glitter.

I really liked it over the deep green because it reminded me of a unicorn emerging from a mysterious, hidden forest. Or, something like that...

POLISH INFORMATION

Brand:  Starrily

Type: Glitter Topcoat

Formula: Awesome! Glitters like this can tend to be clumpy, but not this polish!

Opacity (1-5): 1

Application: Great! I didn't have to pick out any glitters at all. They came out like this in one stroke. How often does that happen?!

Price: $9

I was uber, uber pleased with this polish.

The formula and application were divine, especially for glitters.

This topcoat would look amazing on a lot of polishes;

I'll try to have it paired with others up soon.

What do you guys think?

Definitely check this indie maker out- some great neon glitters out right now, also!

'Just Lust'

Okay guys, i've got my very last Valentine's Day post for you.

I got almost all of them in before Thursday,  but not quite.

I'm sick of pink & red stuff, though, so i'm just ending it with this post :p

I'm ready for the pastels of Easter & Spring!

Anyway, here's 4 coats of All That Glitters' 'Just Lust'.

'Just Lust' is a bright pink jelly with microglitter, medium hexagonal glitter, micro bar glitter, & shards that are all iridescent. This was part of her Valentine's Day collection.

POLISH INFORMATION

Brand: All That Glitters

Type: Jelly

Formula: Great!

Opacity (1-5): 2

Application: Awesome

Price:  $8

I think this polish is definitely better over a base of something else.

I could reach opacity on it's own, but you can see that it just looks messy & jumbled.

Other than that, I liked it pretty well. I'm not usually a fan of jellies, but if you're going to buy one- ATG is definitely worth the price.

'Heart Burn'

Hey guys.

I've got a polish from All That Glitter's Valentine's Day collection for you today.

If you're a regular reader, you know ATG is one of my favorite indie brands :)

Here's 3 coats of 'Heart Burn'.

'Heart Burn' is a hot pink jelly base jam packed with different glitter. There's teeeeeeny circular white & black glitter, teeny tiny silver bar glitter, iridescent micro glitter, & jumbo sized white & black hearts. I really like how she used the bar glitter here. I usually hate bar glitter, but it's tiny & sparse enough that it compliments the polish very well :)

POLISH INFORMATION

Brand: All That Glitters

Type: Glitter Jelly

Formula: Good!

Opacity (1-5): 3

Application: Great, but you really have to dig out the hearts.

Price:  $8

What do you guys think about this polish?

Stay tuned for several more indies! :)
