Today's glitter dust mani's a little more subtle than the breathtaking Moonlight Magic I featured last post but definitely pretty in its own right.
Pixie Powder's translucent white glitter dust reminds me of ice or white sugar crystals and to add interest there's also just a hint of blue/pink duochrome in the glitter (which is more visible in my 'Shade' picture). I figured this colour was a little more wearable for mere mortals like me when venturing out of the house so I sported it for a few days to get some idea of the durability. I was worried it might flake or crumble but it wore like render reinforcing my nails and stayed put until I decided to remove it - it was surprisingly easy to remove too which was a pleasant surprise for a glitter polish.

Some of you asked about whether the glitter sheds everywhere - I'm happy to say it's pretty well anchored to the polish base once it's dried but I've also found out you can also apply a quick spritz of hairspray to hold the sparkles in place!

Ooh, pretty...but definitely a more subtle version of the range. It's very demure, compared to the more outstanding blue you had on yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI can't recall if this is the white that I was lusting after, or if that was a slightly different shade. Going to Chadstone tomorrow so I will check it out. :)
I think there are two different white shades in the range but I haven't looked into it. I look forward to seeing what you choose!
DeleteOHhhhh pretty!!! I need this one! This is almost prettier than the last one... almost!
ReplyDeleteThey're both so pretty in very different ways!
DeleteOOOOH I could see myself trying this one! Not that I don't love the blue (I do!) but this is subtler. Good to hear it wore so nicely!
ReplyDeleteI get where you're coming from because that's how I felt - the blue would be for an occasion but the icy white is a little more versatile and still very pretty!
DeleteWa wa! So pretty!!! Hahahah "Getting in touch with my inner snow queen" -- perfect! I honestly didnt think these would be a hit to the shelves, but they've turned out to look great!! Must pick up one (or two. Or ten) for myself!
ReplyDeleteThey are addictive - once I saw them on somebody else's nails I just knew I had to try some - and now I find I want the lot too!!!
DeleteI love the iridescent quality of it but the unsmooth texture squeaks me out a bit. Nice to hear that removal isn't difficult though!
ReplyDeleteI guess you either love them or loathe them - and they're not the most practical of finishes because they can catch on things! I have some of the OPI liquid sands and I'm yet to try them out - it will be interesting to see what I think of those actually because I was a bit reluctant but now I think I'll love them :)
DeleteOh I like the look of that, great tip with the hairspray as well that would definitely make it all more secure.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very pretty shade for sure and great for winter I think - the hairspray tip is a good one and thanks to Norlin for that!
DeleteHurro!!!! Super pretty!!!! It definitely suggests "snow queen" alright! You should try the pink Vita. Seriously. SUPER vibrant but cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going for the pink because it looks so bright - plus a few others I think!!!
DeleteIt really looks snow-ey :) Love the iridescence
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty amazing isn't it! I'd never tried anything like this before!
DeleteOMG so pretty! I didn't know bys had a glitter dust nail polish line. Thank you for sharing this wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteMy absolute pleasure! :)
