Zoya Pixie Dust "Miranda"

Hello again for another Zoya pixie dust. Today's magical pixie dust is named Miranda. Miranda is a glistening read pixie dust polish, with silver sparkle and texture.

As with all magical pixie dust polishes, you should not use a topcoat with these. Not using a topcoat allows the texture of the polish to show through.

Funky Fingers "Glitter Matters"

There is nothing more hip than solid color glitter polish. Since Indy brands begin making this style of polish the nail polish community has anxiously been awaiting the day when the market would be flooded with drugstore brands re-creating this opaque glitter style.

Funky Fingers "Glitter Matters" features white yellow hexagon shaped glitter, with smaller yellow glitters in a clear base.

Polishes like this are great to liven up a plain color mani.

This polish is same here over Zoya pixie dust "Liberty."

I had this polish traded to me, because this brand funky fingers is only available in a store called Five Below, A discount store in America where everything is under five dollars. However this chain is not in California.

Funky Fingers nail polish may be purchased at Five Below three bottles for five dollars.

If these stores are unavailable to you, make a polished swap buddy and get to trading! 

Nail Mail! Funky Fingers and Fresh Paint

(Fresh Paint: guava, honeydew, passionfruit.

Funky Fingers: saved by the glitter, glitter matters, bizirk turq, elsa.)

The best part about the nail polish community online is interacting and trading with other polish lovers. Girls in groups such as Polishaholics Anonymous will do everything in their power to provide you with polish that you cannot locate in your region of the country or world.

For this trade I had arranged to swap a lot of unused stamping plates for some Funky Finger and Fresh Paint nail polishes that are not sold in my state.

In addition to the polishes I received my swap buddy also included various little goodies to make my package extra special. 

She included a few nail decals, a small vial of sequins, a scented candle, and a bag of nail art rhinestones.

If you ever find your self at a standstill in your polish collection, join a nail polish group and find a swap buddy. It is a fun experience and you get a package in the mail. :)

Zoya Pixie Dust "Liberty"

Zoya Pixie Dust polishes continue to be a love lacquer for me. I know that's all that has been featured lately, but it's all I've been wearing lately.

Can you blame me for wanting to fully appreciate each of my six shades individually?

"Liberty" is a texture royal blue, with less silver glitter than "Vespa" or "Stevie."

The photo displays the color as a little washed out, thing deep sea royal blue. 

The formula on this polish was lovely with full opacity in two coats.

Zoya Pixie Dust "Stevie"

Hello!

Today I have for you Zoya's Pixie Dust in "Stevie." 

This polish is a fresh vibrant lilac with scattered glitter. Pixie Dust polishes by Zoya are designed to be textured. They do not have an overwhelming texture to them, instead an even formula which builds up to opaque in two coats, which levels it's self out nicely.

"Stevie" is also a reletivly fast drying polish, as was "Vespa" seen in one of my previous posts. 

So far my experience with the Zoya Pixie Dust collection has been nothing but sparkly goodness.

You may notice that my ring finger appears to have something strange. This was a nail art design that I thought would be cute, and was simpliy not cute. What you see is one layer of "Stevie" over top. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Hikari "Cabernet" lipstick

Today I have for you a lipstick I received in my Ipsy glam bag for September 2014.

This Hikari lipstick in "Cabernet" is a medium red with soft plum undertones.

The formula was smooth, but did require a bit of conscious application to achieve an even finish on my lips.

This lipstick is easily smudged during application, I would recommend using a lip liner.   

I myself do not use any lip liners, so clean up with a tissue after application is recommended.

This lip color is comfortable on my lips, goes on creamy, and has an average wear time not resistant to food and drink.

This lip color is great for a sassy look without being too gaudy. 

Zoya Pixie Dust "Vespa"

Hello Fiecreology followers!

It has been a very long time since I have made a post. This is mostly due to the fact that I have been out of the make up and polish loop, and I have not had a disposable income for cosmetics. 

However, with my brand-new job, and young professional lifestyle, my make up and polish interest has been restored.

Since I am not in high school anymore, and do not have all the time in the world to blog, I will be updating this blog from my phone. This will mean simple post with lovely Phone quality photos. 

Today I have for you Zoya's Pixie Dust in "Vespa." This polish came to me in a Zoya BOGO Texture Tuesday sale.

Applying the first coat of this polish, it appeared very sheer with little potential for buildup.

In the description on the website, Vespa is a number five on the opacity scale.

After applying the second coat the five level of opacity was clearly displayed.

This polish is a creamy pistachio base with silver and holographic scattered glitter.
