Zoya Dahlia

Dahlia is a polish that I got when it came out and it has sit on my shelf since then and I have absolutely no idea why!! Out of the first collection I think it was my most anticipated polish and yet it was an untried until now. I still can't get over the fact that Zoya actually was dark enough to name it (Black) Dahlia. Huge points for that level of twisted Zoya!

Zoya Dahlia is a black pixie dust polish with lots of silver glitter and sparkle to it. It reminds me of a highway with asphalt glittering in the summer heat. Yes, that is a compliment. It's absolutely stunning! It's dark but the sparkle makes the black totally wearable and appropriate. It almost leans more towards a charcoal black/grey with all that sparkle. It only took two coats of Dahlia to reach complete opaqueness and like all pixies I have tried so far the formula was an absolute dream. I still haven't been adventurous enough yet to try putting top coat over it but maybe someday. I just enjoy the texture so much as is and feel that top coat defeats the purpose but still some day I will try it.

NOTD Stamping with Zoya Sunshine

So another obsession I have had lately besides texture polishes is stamping over texture polishes. For this look I started with a base of Zoya Sunshine and decided to go for a romantic scene so I used Sinful Shine Wisp to stamp cherry blossom branches and a cute little couple under a tree onto my nails. The branches and flower are from a Born Pretty Store plate and the accent finger of the tree and little boy and girl kissing is from Winstonia. The pink blossoms of the flower are Zoya Jolene.

Zoya - Sunshine

I have a slight obsession with texture polish but that isn't anything new so when the new fall Zoya pixies were released I kinda had to have them all right that second. The one I knew I had to try first as soon as I ripped open the package? Sunshine! My two favorite colors are sunshine yellow and blue anything for nails so a gorgeous blue Pixie Dust with the name Sunshine? Yeah, that one was made for me! Sunshine definitely didn't disappoint either. It was completely opaque in just two coats and had a quick dry time. Like all pixies it wore like iron and had the same great sparkle you come to expect with pixie dusts.
