zoya vespa (pixie dust winter)

i love textured polishes, and zoya's pixie dust collection is one of the best. vespa was part of their winter range for 2013.


from all types of textured polishes, zoya's pixie dust is my favorite. i showed chyna before. vespa is the first one i tried, and they describe it as "mint kiss with a sugared sparkle". the shade is pastel, light sage green, with fine silver sugary glitter. the finish is so refined and the color looks vintage and, bottom line, i'm in love! 

it is a bit shear, so after a normal first layer, i added a thicker second. i tried a third one on one nail on my right hand, but it looked pretty much the same so i decided to finish with two. even though they recommend skipping the base coat, i have it on. after some years, the texture finish became less prominent, resulting in slower drying, so now i wear it only when i have enough time to wait for it to dry properly.







i used base (china glaze strong adhesion) + two layers of polish
