Zoya Vega

I want to apologize that I haven't been around as much this past week or so. In fairness, I've been watching my boyfriend's cat while his family is out of town and really, how can I be expected to concentrate when this adorable face wants to cuddle and play?


But I did manage to tear myself away for some nail time. I was in the mood for some serious glitter and they don't come much glitzier than Zoya's Magic PixieDusts! It's been a while since I wore a textured polish but I was itching to wear one again.

Vega is an icy blue textured polish with chunky silver holo glitter. I know a lot of people were divided on the Magic PixieDusts but I really like them! Amanda was kind enough to hook me up with the first batch of them for my birthday last year and Vega might just be my favorite of the trio. The base color is beautiful and all that extra glitter and holo on top certainly doesn't hurt! It's like an uber version of one of my other favorite textures, OPI Tiffany Case.



Vega is more opaque than most of the other Magic PixieDusts. I probably could have stopped at two coats but I applied three for good measure. I find thinner coats work best with PixieDust polishes, as some of them can be a little slow to dry.

I know textured polish isn't "on trend" anymore, but I still like to bust out my favorite textures. They're pretty, so that's all I care about. :) Do you still wear textures or have they gone the way of crackle?

  1. Oooh, what a pretty kitteh! I understand you must have priorities and when the priority is kitteh scritches, it's a delight!

    I still like and wear the Pixie Dust and other texture polishes. I don't get out much and so it's just me and my husband that sees most of my manis, which I change out every two to three days. (It slays my sister [not a nail polish obsessivecollector/ like I am] that I take off perfectly good/pretty manis.) The only reason I wouldn't wear a certain finish is because I don't like it!

    1. She is pretty darn hard to tear myself away from! I could just cuddle and be a bum with her all day. :)

      Your philosophy sounds like mine. I'll wear just about anything so long as I like it. It's hard for non-collectors to understand taking off a mani that isn't chipped. I just get this mental itch to change it up every couple days!

  2. Kitty!!! Such a gorgeous kitty, I can see why you are distracted. I LOVE my Pixie Dusts and wear them frequently.
