Zoya Pixiedust Miranda Swatch And Review

I barely slept last night so I've been in zombie mode all day, please pardon my ramblings if it happens.  LO woke up in the middle of the night bawling which is really uncommon, and she wouldn't allow me to soothe her, which is also really uncommon.  I think she may have had a baby nightmare or woke up in pain from teething(her top two teeth are coming in).  I've been up since 4am and I should have gone to bed hours ago, but I'm a night owl and can't help myself.

Ok ok ok, I promised I wouldn't do another pink but I unconsciously chose to use this polish for tonight.  I've talked myself into think it's not really a pink because it's a texture polish - something the muggles haven't discovered yet(at least that's what I've convinced myself).  This is Zoya's Miranda from their summer Pixiedust collection.  It's a dark dusty rose pink with metallic shimmer, and it has tons of sparkle.  I chose not to wear this with topcoat because I'm stubborn and don't like to alter the natural appearance of texture polishes, but I imagine it would look fabulous a la Orly Miss Conduct.  I used two easy coats for coverage in these photos.

I also have Solange from this collection because I love the stunning gold sand effect and will probably do some nail art with it sometime soon.  I really enjoy using these texture polishes for nail art, but not so much as regular manis because I obsessively touch the polish all day long.  It gets really distracting after a while!  I really like the multi-toned or shimmery effect textures over the monochrome textures that have been released.  Of the texture polishes out there, is there any particular collection you like more than another?

  1. I haven't tried any textured polishes except for Zoya's pixiedusts, Nyx and Vespa. I love those two and am lemming the summer collection in a big way. Texture aside, I'd imagine that you would enjoy Nyx for the color (soft very greyed out denim blue to my eye) and the sparkles.

    1. Thanks for the suggestions! I didn't like the first release of Pixiedust because I tried Chyna, but the photos of Nyx and Vespa look amazing. I definitely have those on my wishlist now.
