Zoya’s newest nail polish line is called PixieDust, and it’s a new formula that features a matte base with glitter in it. This sounds like a weird concept, but if you think of it like stars in the night sky (matte black sky, sparkling stars) then it makes sense :) I was excited about this because I really love matte ...

I’ve been wanting to try this matte glitter top coat since I got it a few weeks ago, but just kinda.. didn’t, other than swatching. I wanted to do something bright too, so I thought I’d try it on top of a neon purple. I seriously forgot how COOL this glitter top coat is! I swear. Glitter polishes is the ... Read More »
