Hello lovelies,

today I'll show you a pretty collection called Holo, Dolly! from Danish Foxy Paws indie brand. The collection consists of seven shades.

"Foxy Paws polish is handpoured and mixed with a love for colour and glitter. They are 4-free, which means they're free from DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde resin. And of course never tested on animals - although the foxes like polished nails, they wouldn't like being test animals."

Put On Your Sunday Clothes - light yellowish green linear holo. It's quite unusual colour to see so that's why I'm starting with it. I'm wearing two thicker coats but three might be even better.

Well Holo, Dolly! - dark magenta holo. I totally love this shade! It's very vibrant and it has very strong holographic effect. I've applied two coats.

A Damned Exasperating Woman - light lavender holo purple. Lovely purple shade with nicely strong holo effect. I'm wearing two thick coats because the pigmentation was slightly lower. My bottle had few bits of unmixed pigment but the polish has been recently reformulated and the new version is clump-free and with even stronger holo effect. This old version is still available as well.

Just Leave Everything To Me - medium green holo. This shade reminds me of a grasshopper, nice green shade. I'm wearing two thicker coats.

Before The Parade Passes By - sky blue holo. This a gorgeous shade of blue, very vibrant and 'summery'. I've applied two thicker coats for the coverage in the pictures.

Elegance - light brown/beige holo. It's indeed an elegant colour, very office friendly but not a shade I would pick out on my own. I'm wearing two thick coats.

They all had the same formula - they applied well, dried fast but the pigmentation was slightly lower so two thick coats or three coats were needed.

If you'd like to purchase Foxy Paws polishes you can do so here (available for international customers too).

Hello lovelies,

I am so late with this collection due to my holiday, sorry! Yes, I'm finally reviewing the Zoya PixieDust collection for Fall 2013. It consists of six new textured shades in Autumn colours.

Tomoko - champagne silver. Tomoko is very sparkly with its silver glitter but the base colour is more champagne.

Chita - emerald green. Beautiful emerald or maybe dark forest green packed with silver glitter.

Dhara - copper orange. Dhara is a vibrant orange leaning towards copper and burnt orange shades.

Sunshine - rich denim blue. Zoya describes this shade as Van Gogh blue which might as well be. Sunshine is also packed with silver glitter and it's very sparkly.

Arabella - red-based magenta purple. I think this one is my favourite of them all, absolutely gorgeous and sparkly shade.

Carter - rich grape purple. Carter is a stunning purple filled with fuchsia glitter that definitely stands out!

All of the polishes have the same formula that applied very easily and dried average. It takes slightly longer for PixieDusts to dry and harden up so make sure you allow enough time. They are all well-pigmented and provide full coverage in two regular or thicker coats.

Overall, it's a  great colour selection and my favourite so far. I like the PixieDusts very much, especially for pedicures as they last very long without chipping and they sparkle in the sun.

Zoya polishes are available at your usual outlets or at zoya.com
