Hello my loves! I told you I'd have the Zoya Summer 2014 Magical Pixie Dusts up soon!! And here they are!! When I first heard about these I was completely in love. Who doesn't love a little sparkle in their lives? After being super excited for the Spring Magical Pixie Dusts I began to look at swatches and reviews where people had stated that they were too chunky for them and that they snagged on everything. So I passed on them at the time. Then I was presented with the opportunity to review the new summer shades so I figured why not try them myself and form my own opinions. That is exactly what I'll be sharing with you today.
Since I don't have the spring collection to compare them to I'm not sure whether they're the same formula or not, but I didn't find these too chunky at all, and honestly didn't really have much of an issue with snagging. Once these dry completely everything seems to settle down a lot more and the hexes don't seem to stick out quite as much as when you first apply them. I'm actually quite satisfied with the end textured result.
All three shades are meant to be worn with out a top coat, but if you just can't stand a textured polish you can apply 2-3 coats of a good top coat to smooth every thing out and they are still super pretty. All of my pictures are three coats ( two thin coats and then a dabbed thicker coat) both with and without top coat. I used two coats of top coat for the pictures with it. So with all of that being said, lets get to the polishes.
First up is "Arlo", which is a gorgeous purple jelly base, with the famous Zoya pixie dust texture, with added holographic hexes. This one is really pretty both with and without top coat, but adding top coat will really bring out the purple jelly base and make those glitters shine. So this is a definite win for anyone whether you like textures or not. :-)

Secondly we have "Bar" which is the perfect name for this polish because it really reminds me of a sand bar with the sun making the sand sparkle. Its a beige gold jelly base with the famous Zoya pixie dust texture, with added holographic hexes. This one I think I prefer more with top coat, but again I love it both ways.

Lastly, is "Ginni" which is a gorgeous soft pink jelly base with Zoya's famous pixie dust formula, with added holographic hexes. This one was my favorite out of the three and I actually like it most without the top coat. Adding top coat just tends to darken up the polish more and I like the lighter pink with out the top coat.

All in all I enjoy these polishes. The formulas on these weren't too difficult to work with. I probably could have done two coats had I brushed on the first coat and then dabbed on the second coat, but I'm extremely satisfied with them all. These are available on Zoya.com for $10 each.
