ALMA (ZOYA)

Like Vespa, this one is also hard to photograph and show it's true color. This one is a orange with golden pixie glitter making it look like a yellow/orange foil of awesomeness. It really sparkles! This one is also apart of the Zoya Pixiedust line. As I said on the Vespa post, I was interested in finding another Pixiedust color to try. I managed to find this color on clearence at Ulta for just $4 just a few days after applying Vespa.

The application was similiar to Vespa. It required 3 coats although on the tips that it could have done with 4 to fill out the tips since they looked a little thin there. The brush for this one was also a great size. The dry time was the same as well. Rather quick and painless. I had no dents like I did with Vespa although this could be because the sparkle is so bright, it's hard to look at it closely.

Unlike Vespa, this one is a jelly finish. I put a top coat on this time and it didn't change up the look. Perhaps made it shine a bit more with the jelly look. However, it hasn't helped with the chipping, sadly. The photo above was the first day after I applied (14th). The one below was from today (18th). The tip wear is about the same as Vespa in terms of the time frame.

I am giving this one a 4 out of 6 stars. The application, dry time, and finish are great but the color looks a little off with my skin tone. It could be just because it is a bright color and I am iffy about bright colors, lol. Next time I search for a Pixiedust polish from the line, I will go a little darker and see if things are any different. :)
