Zoya Magical Pixie: Spring 2014 - Swatches and Review

Zoya Magical Pixie

Spring 2014

Zoya's newest addition to the Pixie Dust family is Magical Pixie, which consists of 3 new shades of textured polish, but this time, with a twist. They've added holographic hex glitters that sparkle like mad! I had no sun and none is predicted for the remainder of the week, but take my word - they're sparkly!

All three of these had the exact same formula. As is the nature of textured polishes, especially ones with glitter added, these are quite chunky. The formula/application, however, was good. I used two easy coats for all three and no top coat (except the last photo of each one where I show it with top coat) with dry time in between. They dry fairly fast, so I didn't have any issues - as far as chunky polishes go. For the photos with top coat, I used two coats of HK Girl Top Coat.

Happy Monday! This morning I have a "teaser" post for you. One-finger swatches of the Kiko Sugar Mat Collection. Starting soon I will have full swatches and reviews and (are you sitting down?) US purchasing information! Yes, that's right United States Availability!!!


But for now...

These shades are numbered 631 through (and including) 646. There are 8 with "sparkle" and 8 without.

Top: L-R #631 through 638
Bottom L-R #639 through 646

These are quick one-finger swatches of course, but wait until you see the full swatches!

First impression - I loved them because the formula was great on all of them - two coats, just a minute or so dry time between coats. No top coat of course. I did no clean up at all and was extra pleased that they weren't messy to apply.

Are you as excited as I am to get ANY Kiko in the US? One of my favorite brands and hopefully, eventually, we will have access to the full line, but for now, I'll settle for special collections like the Sugar Mats.

Stay tuned for the full swatches and purchasing information! Hopefully soon!


Have a great week!!! ♥

Sheila

Red Dog Designs Neon Summer Sands Collection

Press Sample

I'm so excited about the collection I have for you right now! This is the first indie brand to come out with SAND FINISH polishes and they're NEON!

*This collection will be available starting Friday, June 7, 2013 at approximately 3 PM EDT!*

I will warn you right up front that I couldn't do these polishes justice with my photos, try as I might. They are bright and neon and sparkly and the texture is perfect. If you remember, I've reviewed a few "textured" collections. I didn't like the Milani ones at all, but I DID like the Zoya Pixie Dust ones and these are my favorites by far.

Red Dog Designs Neon Sand Skittles

This collection consists of 6 bright shades:

Flamingo Bay - neon pink sand texture polish with micro-glitters

Coral Beach - neon orange sand texture polish with micro-glitters

Sunny Shores - neon yellow sand texture polish with micro-glitters

Palm Cove - neon green sand texture polish with micro-glitters

Caribbean Keys - neon blue sand texture polish with micro-glitters

Orchid Reef - neon purple sand texture polish with micro-glitters


The formula and application was the same on all 6 - no issues to report at all. I used two coats, letting them dry in between. Fantastic.


So let's have a look!


My favorite first, Orchid Reef...
