Zoya Magical PixieDust Vega Swatch and Review

Happy Hump Day! I'm still a sick factory but I feel a bit better. Also my package came in the mail so I am excited over my black mermaid skirt and I got some custom Studio Ghibli leggings, ZOMG. Really, life is grand right now asides being a bit stressed but... It will be good. Yes. Anyway I have a backlog post today - I have Zoya Vega, from the MAGICAL PixieDust collection. (Haha, MAGICAL! I don't know why that's so funny.)

This is Zoya Vega, a dusty baby blue toned textured and glitter mix. It's one of Zoya's PixieDusts... that is MAGICAL! By "Magical", Zoya just means that there are holographic glitters. Zoya Vega is actually a one coater, but for whatever reason, I thought it would be a good idea to do two. (It's not, really.) Application was nice here. Laid out a fairly solid foundation, and the second coat adhered to the first coat very smoothly. Here's my swatch in two coats without top coat:

I really liked this polish but I did have a couple of gripes with it. For one, it didn't suit my skin tone very nicely. I have a bit of lobster skin tone going on and I apologize. And another, the two coats were REALLY REALLY textured. I had read that these polishes were super textured but these actually pulled on my high quality nylon leggings, what the! So next time I may consider one coat only. Also I had to use my Julep Party's Over glitter removal kit to get it off.

What do you think of the MAGICAL PixieDusts? Are you done with textures or would you opt for some holographic glitters in the mix?

  1. Nope, I'm not done with textures yet :D And I absolutely love Vega!
    Have you tried using fast drying topcoat instead of basecoat for glitters and textured polishes for easier removal?

    1. I've never heard of trying top coat instead of base coat for removal! I'll have to try that one next time - thank you for the advice!
