ZOYANail Polish, Lavender Perfector, 0.5 fl. oz.

In the picture, I am wearing a Seche Clear base, 2 coats of Zooey, and 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat. I was able to start doing things within 20 minutes of application, and I was completely dry by the time I went to bed a couple of hours later.If you've ever used Zoya polishes before, then you know they are quality polishes. If you haven't ever used them before, then that's what you should know, and Zooey is no different.This is a textured polish, which I believe most, if not all of the polishes in their Pixie Dust line are. If you have never used a textured polish before, then you should know a few things about them: as the name implies, it is textured, so it dries bumpy. This can be a little weird if you are not used to or expecting it. The color itself is also a little matte, though the glitter continues to shine. I am wearing two coats of color, but it is pigmented and opaque enough that if you are really in a rush you could likely get away with just one coat of color if needed. If either the texture or the matte color are not your jam, you can address this easily with a good glossy top coat, but be aware you will need more than one to completely smooth out the surface (in my pic, I am wearing 2 coats of Seche Vite, which is good enough for my needs, but it is still slightly bumpy if I run my fingers over my nails. I would think you might need 3, or even possibly 4, top coats to get a truly smooth surface.)I personally like textured polishes for several reasons. First, my experience is these polishes tend to dry really quickly, so if you are in a time crunch, it's a great, high-impact go-to. I also find these types of polishes to be very forgiving - as you can probably tell, I have some wonkiness in my ring finger nail (where it fans out on the free edge, causing a little "dip" on the sides at the point where it leaves the nail bed, and this is a place where polishes LOVE to pool. Metallic/holo polishes almost never look good on my nails because between my still-developing painting skills and uneven nail plates, I just can't paint a straight line. Not a problem with textured polishes.) Lastly, I find these polishes tend to lend additional strength to my nails. I assume it is at least partly the glitter. But it is a nice reprieve from needing to use specific nail treatments, which tend to be limited in their colors (and possibly not even necessary, depending on the condition of your nails. Nail Envy and their ilk, and keratin nail treatments really should only be used short-term.)One of the cons of this polish (and any glitter polish, really) is you are really going to need an acetone remover (preferably pure) unless you want to spend hours trying to get it off. I personally don't have an issue with this as I tend to wear my polish for at least a week before I redo, and I regularly oil my nails and cuticles, so I am mostly able to deal with any dehydration caused by pure acetone, but this may be a consideration for some.A quick note: the picture on the listing is pretty true, though the description states "Zooey by Zoya can be best described as a classic pink, textured PixieDust laced with a fine thread of gold." If you are going by this description instead of the picture, you might be disappointed. This is absolutely a coral-based color, not what I think of when I think "classic pink with a fine thread of gold." I didn't deduct stars for this since I was hoping for what was in the picture, but would have also been happy with a color that was closer to the description. But it's something you should be aware of if you are looking for a specific color.

This is great nail polish. I take it to the salon and have them use for my pedicure. It’s very sparky high I love. It also seems to last without chipping.

I bought the kit along with this color to do a base coat, top coat. This color is beautiful! I actually had someone loose their train of thought talking to me, because they noticed my toes and loved the color so much! The quality was so good, I could have kept it on longer, there were not chips or problems, but I took it off because I wanted to give my toenails time to breath. Recommended!

This is like a great foundation for your face - it evens out any discoloration and gives your nails a shine without making it's presence known. Perfect for every day wear when you don't want to constantly touch up darker colored polish.

This turned out to be a little more sheer and shiny than I expected, but I do like how pretty my nails look and how easy it is to apply.

This is the best polish. Beautiful colors that are on trend. Long lasting. Shiny. No formaldehyde.

The media could not be loaded. I'm guessing that because of the thin brush it came with, it is harder to apply and not pull and thin the polish in areas that were already covered. A large, flat brush may make application better.It's a lovely light blue but not the perfect colour. Still searching.

Lov this polish goes on smoothly, dries quickly, finish is shiny. I actually have a couple of colors one being buff natural color & a pink natural color . Another plus is this polish is on the healthier list of nail polishes out .
