This reminds me of the OPI Liquid Sand polishes 🙂
I am not a big fan of these textures nail lacquers… Maybe that will change though, I don’t know.
I think so far these look the most promising out of the “matte glitter” look, they actually look like sand on the nails! cant wait to see some swatches 🙂
Soo cool that the orange one is called Beatrix. Beatrix is the queen of the Netherlands and she will be replaced by her son coming april 30th. Their last name is van Oranje, translated of Orange. Maybe Zoya did name their orange after her because of that? Anyway, we dutchies need that polish because of this ofcourse!!
haha I’m dutch too and I was thinking exactly the same! I thought it was so cool!
And STiLL no Emily to my knowlege :::: huge eye roll::: I do love the name Beatrix, though.
Does anyone know if the Pixie Dust formula hard to remove?
From what I’ve heard they’re a touch harder than say a creme, but not so hard that you need to break out the foil!
They are not hard to remove. A little more work than a regular polish, but easier than most glitters.
Of all the textured polishes, Zoya’s have looked the best in swatches (especially with top coat, which is how I’d wear them). Liberty and Stevie look awesome and may well be the first two I actually buy.
I LOVE ZOYA PIXIE DUST. IT IS THE BEST OF THE TEXTURED POLISHES, IN MY OPINION. CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THESE NEW COLORS.
agreed!!
I didn’t buy any of the original line because none of the colors called to me, but this one is DEFINITELY going to get some of my money.
Oh noes! I have some of their original Pixie Dust polishes (4 of the 6) and they’re awesome: easy to apply, dry quickly, and last. Easier to remove than normal glitter: hold a saturated cotton ball on top for 10 seconds and it more or less wipes off.
I love love LOVE all of these colors but especially Stevie, Beatrix, and Miranda. I may be buying them all (sorry wallet). I love the effect and it’s not as annoying as I was afraid it would be. It really doesn’t snag on my clothes or hair.
I own 3 of the original collection (Chyna, Dahlia, London= red, black, and gray). I didn’t have much trouble removing them at all. No walk in the park but no need for a jackhammer. Just really saturate a cotton ball, hold it on a few seconds, and start wiping. I got most (if not all) of it off with only 2 swipes of a cotton ball.
With that said, I am SO excited for the new colors! I hope they wear as well as the originals. I can’t wait to get Liberty, Miranda, and Solange!
SERIOUSLY?! What nail polish remover do you use?! I love this collection but it is such a PAIN to remove 🙁
Really? I use non-acetone remover and it comes off perfectly fine. I have a dappen dish I fill up, dip my finger in for a couple seconds and wipe it right off.
I use Target’s generic pure acetone for them and they work amazingly.
Yay! I loved the way the other ones looked but the colors did nothing for me, I am definitely excited and will be buying this collection.
I am absolutely hyperventilating waiting for these to come out! Ahhhhh! SO GORGEOUS!!!! I can’t wait for you to swatch them. You’ve become my go-to blog for polish colors, because yours are always closest to how they look in person 🙂
I’m really starting to love Zoya. They do a stellar job comming up with unique colors than really compliment the seasons.
OPI is comming out with some more Liquid Sands this summer as well – based on the Bond Girls! 🙂 (Although it will be a very strange conversation when someone says “Oh, love that color! What is it?”, and I have to respond “Pussy Galore”. lol!)
I’m anxiously waiting for you to swatch these as well. There’s some really pretty shades, although a couple look like dupes. Honey Ryder reminds me of Pixie Dust’s Godiva, and Jinx looks just like The Impossible, but without the stars.
I love the texture of the spring ZOYA Pixie Dust! I can’t wait to get my hands on the Summer 2013 Stevie and Miranda Pixie Dust!
I did not realize how much I was going to LOVE THIS STUFF! I ordered Dahlia and fell in love! It is not overly gritty. It is actually a very smooth grit and it protects my nails at the cash register all day long. I am on 3 full days of wear today and not one chip! The cash register is no match for this stuff.
I love that I don’t need a topcoat either. I was going through tons of topcoat before I found this. I love the way it feels too!
Can’t wait to try this. I love the stevie.
