Short nail polish post

[telesilla]

So I'd heard about the whole matte texture trend and I wasn't sure about it. Then I saw some swatches of Zoya's Pixie Dust (seriously Zoya? Pixie Dust?) Collection and I decided to try it out. I got Nyx, a pale blue, and I totally love it. It looks like I painted my nails with one of those slightly gray light blue polishes and then sprinkled sugar on it. I have no idea how they make it look both matte and glittery, but they did and it looks fabulous in sunlight. I'm totally getting more of this stuff, particularly since they're bringing out an orange in a month and I wear a lot of orange nail polish during baseball season.

A bunch of Pixie Dust swatches. Some of her non-topcoat pictures make the polish look less matte than it really is; I assume it's the light she's using.

I think the worst example of the matte trend I've seen is the Nails Inc. concrete-effect polishes. No offence to anyone that likes them, but... Well, I think they look awful! Flat colour, bobbly looking coat, and no way of adding a bit of sparkle with a top coat the way you can with these or the OPI liquid sand polishes. So not my cup of tea. -_-;

Plus, I kind of worry about how hard they would be to take off? Normal glitter is bad enough!
