Hi Goddesses
Here's the 3rd of my 4 PixieDust posts and instead of being excited to write this, all I can think of is "have you SEEN the new summer colours"???? If you haven't, you should head to the Zoya page right now, as they're amazeballs. Summer bright PixieDusts. Seriously, I die.
I expected Chyna to be my favourite Pixie, and I'm still kind of shocked that she's not. I can't even put my finger on what it is. Suffice to say, I think she just suffers by comparison with the subtle majesty of Vespa and Nyx.
Chyna is a ruby red, laden with the special Pixie glitter, and I think for me, this formula doesn't match the colour. There's something almost dead and meaty to the colour of the polish, and I think that might be part of why it falls flat for me. Or maybe it's just me! Whenever I see other bloggers swatch it, I still sigh. Go figure.
Also, in this polish, the silver glitter has blended with the red, creating red stars in a red night sky. This is a gorgeous effect, but very different to the other Pixies.
Put some gloss on it and you literally cry that this wasn't released at Christmas. This becomes the ultimate Christmas red - sparkly, sexy and just lalalalala.
Here's a couple more photos while I go and have a lie down and dream of the summer pixies :) xx
I think this one is just really hard to photograph. It looked so incredible on my nails but when I opened up my photos I also thought "Hmmm, looks meaty." There is so much sparkle with the little silver bits in real life & somehow they seem to be getting a bit lost in even my most favorite bloggers' photos. I say if you have any interest in these at all, get them. They are really more gorgeous than any photo can convey. Though you did an outstanding job as always!
ReplyDeleteHahahah meaty.. I love you. I think it looks fab with top coat!

ReplyDeleteOooh, I love it with a top coat. You just get lost in the depth. Very pretty & great to see with & without gloss ☼
