Zoya PixieDust
PixieDust is the latest collection from Zoya, and it’s not like anything we have seen from Zoya before – it’s textured! PixieDust features six new shades in a fine sandpaper-like finish. It’s finer and not as gritty as OPI Liquid Sand. No base or topcoat is required as a result you get a matte yet sparkly finish. Textured polish is going to be all the rage so why not give Zoya a try. I am usually not a fan of sparkly polishes since they make a mess putting on or taking off, but I absolutely adore this collection. Vespa and Godiva are my favorites. What do you think?

1 cup skim milk
