Zoya PixieDust: London

So, I know this is not a new polish but it's been sitting in my polish drawer since it became available... I just never got around to wearing it. I tried using "Godiva" but the color payoff didn't please me. That doesn't mean I won't try it again however. SO! I will get on to the beautiful-ness that is London.

London.  Natural lighting.

 Zoya describes London as "fog gray with a sugared sparkle, in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Matte Sparkle formula". They couldn't have nailed it more spot-on if they tried. I applied 2 thin coats & the coverage is amazing. Even with one coat it was a pretty foggy gray but I could still see my nail line. + I always do 2 coats anyway.

Swatch Info:

1. 2 Coats
2. No Base Coat
3. No Top Coat

London. No undies or top coat. Natural lighting.

 Zoya on the PixieDust application:

Do not use a base coat or top coat.
Apply 1-3 (for full coverage) thin coats of polish. 
Allow product to dry completely in between layers for full effect.
The PixieDust textured formula may take up to 10 minutes to dry down completely matte. Once dry, the textured finish is long lasting,  matte and ultra-glittery!

I didn't wait that long between coats... Just long enough to do the other hand & it seems to have turned out all right. My drying time didn't seem to be 10 minutes either.... I'm thinking MAYBE 5. & that's a BIG maybe.

 London's bottle has the same shape as any of the other Zoya polishes but it has a rubberized type of top. Why? Yes. In other words: not a clue why but it does. Since applying London, I then purchased Beatrix, Vespa, & Stevie to try! I will get back to trying Godiva once this one starts wearing off to see if I like it any better.

PixieDust's are $9 a piece from Zoya.com & come in an array of colors & apparently different "formulations" too. I'm putting this bad boy to the ultimate test: BAR TENDING. Constantly having to shove your hands in a bucket of ice, dealing with money, cleaning, stocking, & all the things that come with the territory can really wear on a girls mani -- even with a great top coat!

Until next time...
