Zoya Noir

When the textured polishes hit the scene, I wasn't an instant fan. I just didn't like the way they got stuck in my hair and clothes, it really bugged me. I'm still not a big fan, but I did find a line of textures I do like, the Zoya Pixie Dusts. They tend to have a finer texture that doesn't bug me as much as the others.

A while ago, Zoya launched the magical pixies, with big, chunky glitter and I skipped all of them. Not only because I didn't like a single color, to sweet for me, but also because I just didn't like the big chunks in the polish.

What I do love about a texture though, is that they are just so quick to apply and dry really fast. So when Zoya released the Ultra Pixie Dusts last month, I was skeptical, because it seemed like there's bigger, chunky glitter in them, but I did really love all 3 colors (red vampy polishes, hello, no brainer for me!) and I couldn't stop myself picking them all up.

Today I have the first one to show you. Zoya Noir is a deep purple base, that looks almost black, with a lot of pinkish red small and medium sized hex glitter.

The formula is really nice. It's opaque in 2 coats, just make sure you have enough polish on your brush for the second coat to cover the texture of the first coat. It dries to a matte finish, like most textures, but the glitters sparkle a lot, which makes it look shiny.

I love this one, it's my perfect texture! A dark, vampy base with a little glitter kick to it, how can I not love it? The larger glitter is something I have to get used to and, I admit, not my favorite, but they're only slightly larger than the glitters in the regular Pixie Dusts, luckily they're not that chunky at all!

After trying Noir, I can't wait to try the other two. If they're anything like this one, I'm going to love them!

What's your favorite texture and do you have the same problems I have with your nails sticking to your hair?
