Oh. My. God. As if I weren't already a huge enough fan of Zoya PixieDust ... now Zoya's gone ahead and released the Magical PixieDust Collection. The three nail polishes in this collection are, in a word, magical. Zoya definitely hit the nail on the head with that one. And my favorite is definitely Lux.

Magical PixieDust takes the original PixieDust formula to a whole new level of awesome. The formula has been amped up with larger glitter and the very first holographic pixie particles. I'm absolutely loving the sprinkles of holographic glitter throughout -- it looks like glimmering snowflakes.

Lux is a beautiful rose quartz hue sprinkled liberally with mega hex iridescent glitter particles.

Just look at that holographic glitter!

Now, some people might object to the gritty, sand-like texture of this nail polish. It's pretty similar to Essie Belugaria, which has definitely seen its share of division in the nail polish world. It applies fairly thickly, though I do recommend two coats for complete coverage. You may even need to add more in some spots, as it can be a bit patchy even with two heavy coats. But I am absolutely in love with the texture and color as is -- no top coat necessary! (No base coat necessary either, which makes application all the easier.) It also dries pretty quickly -- I applied it before bed, and my nails were completely dry within 10 minutes (and I woke up without sheet marks)!

Simply put? This nail polish is DAZZLING.

The Zoya Magical PixieDust Collection retails for $30 at zoya.com.
