Good morning polished world!  Happy Tuesday!  Taking a break from the nail appliques to bring you a polish post for Twinsie Tuesday.  Plus, I kind of have to since today's prompt is our favorite nail polish brand.  Honestly, this week was kind of difficult for me, because as a person who does mostly nail art, I use zillions of brands for one manicure.  I never pinpoint in on just one and say "this is my favorite, I will never use any other polish ever."  I love them all for many different reasons!

For today's post though, I have picked Zoya.  Last week, I was planning on picking OPI since I love their brushes and This Crown Needs a Gown has become a favorite for me, but after playing around with the Magical Pixies, Zoya became the front runner!  As a fan of the original Pixies, I was a bit iffy about the Magical ones.  Could I use them for nail art like I did with the originals?  Would they be horribly chunky with those hex glitters??

Answer: yes to nail art, and no to them being chunky.  Using Zoya Sailor and Vega, I was able to create today's amazingly sparkly manicure!  Let's take a look!

• Zoya - Sailor
• Zoya - Vega

Love, love, love, LOVE!  Everything is perfect with this manicure!  On my middle, ring, and thumb, I started off with two coats of Zoya Sailor from the Fall 2013 Cashmere collection.  It is such a gorgeous navy blue.  I really have no other way to describe it other than that.  When it was dry, I applied my nail art tape how I wanted, held my breath, and applied two coats of Vega.  I was so nervous that this Pixie wouldn't work with the tape, but as soon as I started peeling off my first piece, I saw that I really shouldn't have worried at all.

On my pointer and pinkie finger, I applied two coats of Zoya Vega with no top coat.  As you can see, Vega is a gorgeous baby blue pixie with the holo hexes mixed throughout.  I love that not only are there large hexes but smaller ones as well.  The glitters are evenly distributed also, so you didn't have to dig for them or place them where you wanted.  It just all applied perfectly on the nail!


I love this photo above.  Just look at the gorgeousness of Vega!  Can you see why Zoya is my favorite brand right now?  Just pure perfection!  With each new collection, I fall in love all over again.  The formulas, the colors, just all amazing.  I cannot wait for the Awaken collection, which should be here any day now!

What do you think?  Have you tried a Magical Pixie yet?  Are you a fan of Zoya?
