Thea - Magical PixieDust - Textured

This is such a bright and beautiful purple. True to color and slightly shiny instead of the more matte look of the others in the pixie dust line. The glitter is also not the usual tone-on-tone look. The hex glitter on this one has flashes of multiple colors as you move your fingers. I was originally hesitant about this polish because I thought the magical pixie dust formula might look like the polish you would expect a teen or pre-teen to wear with over-the-top glitter. This one looks like it has more glitter than color when you look at the bottle, but then you put it on and the hex glitter is nicely spaced out so that the amethyst purple color takes center stage with just the right amount of glitter to keep it from being too much for everyday wear. Glad I gave this a chance and it is now a favorite. Looking forward to trying more. Drying time was also fast and lasting power was about a week with minor wear on a few tips that I easily touched up thanks to the textured nature of this polish.

This was the first Pixie Dust I`ve tried, and I was a little hesitant about a textured polish. I really like the color, but both times I`ve worn it, it`s chipped within 24 hours. I`ve tried with and without base coat/top coats, and it didn`t seem to make a difference.
