Swatch and Review: Zoya Liberty

Zoya Liberty is a beautiful, bold blue from Zoya’s Summer Pixie Dust collection. For the Summer collection, Zoya has really stepped it up with bolder, brighter, more pigmented polishes. Each is bright, colorful, and perfect for summer. Plus, what could be better than glittery, matte brights? Liberty in particular is so pretty in the bottle, though when applied to the nails and “mattified,” it is stunning.

Zoya says…“Zoya Nail Polish in Liberty can be best described as a blue sugary sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Sparkle formula.”

Color Family: Blue
Color Finish:PixieDust, Metallic Matte Texture
Color Intensity:5 ( 1=Sheer – 5=Opaque )
Color Tone: Cool, Neutral

Here are some instructions to apply Pixie Dust polishes from Zoya.com:

Do not use a base coat or top coat.
Apply 1-3 (for full coverage) thin coats of polish.
Allow product to dry completely in between layers for full effect.
The PixieDust textured formula may take up to 10 minutes to dry down completely matte. Once dry, the textured finish is long lasting, matte and ultra-glittery!

Pros:
-Unique Finish
-Pretty Color
-Fairly Inexpensive
-Dries Quickly

Cons:
-Doesn’t last a super long time (due to not using top coat)
-Stains your nails*

*I don’t have a picture of this, but Liberty specifically was very pigmented, and therefore, using only glue for a base coat, it stained my nails horribly. It left them extremely blue, so I don’t recommend using this polish without a base coat or with the PVA glue base coat.

Grade: B-
