Zoya Sunshine & Chita

I don't always have a lot of time to do my nails even though I would love to devote more time. Lately I've been busy working on crochet projects (they are commissioned so yea money!), looking up new recipes (I LOVE doing this, but it takes a lot of time), catching up on my reading pile (just magazines mostly), and being a mom (which I do everyday!).

When I want my nails to look nice quickly, I'll just do a color and not a design. The Pixie Dusts from Zoya are nice since a few of them are one coaters, they have good dry time, last a while, and equine no base/top coat.

I chose to put on Zoya Sunshine and Chita since they are both one coaters for me.

Sinful Colors Treasure Chest

Thanks to a super awesome person, I finally managed to get my hands on Sinful Colors Treasure Chest. I love it!

I used two colors here: one thicker coat and one thin coat the next day to fill in patchy areas. The formula is a bit harder to work with than other texture polishes and wants to drag if you put on a second coat. That's why I waited until the next day for my second coat.

This is Julie G Tangerine Dream. Needed two coats for coverage. Dry time and wear time was good.

Zoya Carter

Today I have the last of the new PixieDusts that I bought. This one is Zoya Carter. I loved all the blogger swatches I saw of it, but it didn't behave as nicely for me as Sunshine and Chita.

Carter was much thinner. One coat barely did anything. In the end, I did two thin coats and one super thick coat. I topped with Seche Vite to make it dry faster. It looked gorgeous top coated! Unfortunately, I couldn't get any pictures because it chipped the next day :(

I added one more coat on top to make it a texture again and took these photos.

My Carter also seems to have silver bits that aren't really well blended into the polish itself and look a bit weird as a texture. 

Zoya Chita

Here's another of Zoya's Fall Pixie polishes, Zoya Chita. Like Sunshine, Chita is practically a one coater. Formula was good (no clean-up needed!), and dry time was nice!

Zoya Sunshine

I think the best texture polishes come from Zoya, and their new fall Pixie line is no exception.

Today I have Zoya Sunshine. I used two coats for perfect coverage. I tend to use thinner coats though so you might just need one.
