Application was great. The consistency of Vespa is similar to Nyx in that they are both sheer, and it applies similarly as well. The polish is fluid but easily controlled and flows smoothly onto the nail without running, although it will pool at the tip if you have too much polish on your brush when you wrap your tips (as I often do). Being sheer, coverage must be built in multiple coats. I used three for Vespa, the same as I did for Nyx. Cleanup was quick and easy as I had only a little to do but those silver microglitters tend to stick to the skin if polish is allowed to dry there so I recommend doing PixieDust cleanup as you go along instead of waiting til the end. Vespa surface dries fairly quickly with the bulk of the polish drying in slightly longer than average time to a twinkling sandy textured matte finish.

I can see the case for this being a muted spring green and I think it's a great color for spring. It reminds me of when the deciduous trees first start leafing out, giving the landscape a faint mist of green. So pretty!

So you are an enabler! This one looks awesome and this is another I wasn't sure about. It's a lovely shade of green. I'm on a no buy right now but sometime down the road I will have to give more of these PixieDusts a try.
ReplyDeleteDon't you hate no buys? I've been on one myself (for all of three weeks, a record haha) and I just despise it! Well, add some of these older PIxieDusts to your Zoya list and make sure you're flush for their big BOGO in late April/early May.
DeleteI don't want to be on a no buy but I've just been spending too much on polish. I'm just going to wear what I have for right now. I'm hoping the indie brands I like don't tempt me too much!
