Cosmo is a crystalline silver polish and because of the very nature of silver, the holo hexes show up most prominently. It's quite beautiful and indeed magical, despite the fact that I nearly threw my camera and lightbox out the window trying to get a decent shot of it. In the end, I went with a couple outdoor shots.
Lux is ga-ga-ga-GORGEOUS and far and away my favorite of these three (and looks the best on me, too). It's a pale, rosy pink Pixie and if you have any inclination towards pink nail polish, you need this in your life. It's got a classic, perfect to wear with just about anything vibe. LOVE.
Vega is an ever so slightly green tinged aqua. The holo hexes are the least prominent in this one and the formula comes across as the most matte of the three. It reminds me of a slightly amped up version of last summer's OPI Bond Girl polish, Tiffany Case (full post HERE). Unlike Tiffany Case, though, Vega won't stain your nails. Named for the brightest star in any given constellation, Vega and Cosmo should have been juxtaposed, in my opinion.
You probably know by now that I'm a fan of interesting textures anyway, so these are a definite hit for me. Lux is my must-have out of the set, but if you're looking to grab only one, it's really all a matter of taste. You'd be happy with any one of these beauties.
The Magical Pixies retail for $10 each, or $30 for the sampler set of three.

These look great on your nail shape! I think Lux is the most wearable, looks nice on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Cait! ♥ Lux is the easiest to photograph, too, lol.
DeleteTotally look amazing on your nails!!
ReplyDeleteThanks doll ;) ♥
DeleteI really love your swatches and want them badly now, lol. I love how they look on your nails too :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Lisa! <3 I can't believe they don't send to you. They totally should!
DeleteBEST nail shape I've seen for these three...it just fits. Makes you look like The Cosmic Queen of Futuristic Fashionistas. All three colors are Sci-Fi perfection on you. <3
ReplyDeleteRIGHT ON!! Cosmic Queen is good, lol. I've really been looking forward to wearing some textures on my points, actually. SassyPaints has some awesome shots of the OPI Bond Girls on her stilettos on instagram and they doo look really cool. Anyhoo, thank you!! ♥♥♥
DeleteI was waiting for your review ever since I saw those Pixies appearing in the Blog World!!! Great post, great review! LOL for Melissa's sci-fi reference, these really have something futuristic about them. Out of the three Cosmo is my favorite. I think this nailshape really makes all the difference with those three and prevent them from looking caked!!! Have a lovely start of the week xxx
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, sis!! They arrived last Wednesday and I was in the midst of playing with my new GlitterDaze polishes but I couldn't wait any longer for these, lol. Interesting observation about my shape making these look less caked. Maybe I should rewear Belugaria, just to see...
DeleteThey look cool! Lux looks like OPI Teenage Dream - which is also gorgeous. Great swatches and review!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! <3 Somebody else-- Trailerhood Chic, I think? posted a comparison and they are very similar. One if them is brighter and I think it's the OPI.
DeleteI'll have to check out the comparison. Thanks! I really like Teenage Dream, but it's all clumpy and dried out for some reason???
DeleteBummer! Do you ever use thinner to fix stuff like that?
DeleteHmmmm I am not too fond of these three. Saves me a little money! ;)
ReplyDeleteLol, good! ;) Yeah, $10 each.
DeleteGreat, MOAR Zoyas I want!! I absolutely love all 3 on you. Those holo hexes are glorious in their own right too!!
ReplyDeleteAren't they?! I didn't think I'd like these much but Lux has quickly become my favorite Pixie. And thank you!! <3
DeleteI wasn't very excited about these at first, I thought the chunkier glitter would be horrible, but I was sold the second I tried on Cosmo! It is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you-- the first swatches I saw didn't impress me (Manicurator's bring the exception). They're definitely, like most textured polishes, best experienced irl :)
DeleteI just got these and I really have to try them out! they look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see them on you!! <3
DeleteThese look so pretty on you! Lux is my pick from the set too... I can never pass up a pink lol. :) Love your nail shape, by the way... don't know if I had a chance to let you know it. It looks especially cool with these textures. :)
ReplyDelete~ Yun
Luuuuxxxx ♥♥♥ And thank you!! It's a fun shape-- everything is new, lol :)
DeleteThe way I feel about these three polishes can no longer be put to words. I am JUST blown away by their fabulosity!
ReplyDeleteI know it! Best Pixies ever. How is that even possible?! lol.
