Today I have a review of a new polish for you, with fancy new macro pictures. I have genuinely been taking macro shots of absolutely everything for the last three days.
(Zoya Carter £7.95- Nail Polish Direct)
So this is my first and only Zoya polish (so far) and I very naughtily splashed out on it while picking up some presents for my Secret Santa assignment. But I have to say this won't be my last Zoya.
The application was good, very dense glitter and reached full opacity in 2 coats, but I did three as I wanted that really deep look.
After 1 coat
After 2 coats
After 3 coats, 1 coat of Gelous & 3 coats of Revlon quick dry top coat
So, the pixie dust collections are all textured, not too gritty or irritating, I find some textured polishes are too difficult to level and lead to your nails feeling lumpy, which makes me want to pick at it. (I also find that if I wear textured polish for more than a day or two it gets all clogged up with foundation, gross but true.)
Because I was playing around with light using my macro lens I decided to add a few layers of topcoat to help it catch the shine a little more, and I love it. It's the most insanely purple thing I have had on my nails, and catches the light so well that even as I'm typing this, I keep getting distracted from typing and just staring at my nails, constantly.
(fun fact- I have other friends that are as obsessed with nail varnish as I am -more even, and once I put on this polish they both followed suit, now I feel like I'm in a super cool nail polish girl gang, the next step is to get us all matching leather jackets- I'm working on it!)
Much love
