Zoya Beatrix is from the PixieDust Summer Collection that features the amazing textured finish that I can’t seem to get enough of.
Combine the cool gritty texture with a fun, summery shade that reminds me of an orange popsicle, and you’ve clearly got a warm-weather winner here!
I’m a big fan of Zoya nail polish because they always put out a wide range of shades. It never seems like they’re afraid to experiment with colour. As a result, they come out with collections where there’s truly something for everyone.

Zoya Beatrix Review
Colour
Beatrix by Zoya is a fresh, zesty orange that reminds me more of the summer than of pumpkins during Hallowe’en.
It looks like an orange popsicle, except that it went through the Diva Processing Plant and came out with tons of glitter. 😉
The glitter is a lighter orange, which complements the tangerine orange. Together, you get an explosion of citrus personality!
Finish
This has the special Zoya PixieDust finish, which is matte and that has noticeable texture. It’s not sharp, but you can feel the intentional grittiness. I love this finish! I feel like it really helps the glitter to stand out even more.
You’re supposed to wear it without a top coat, but if you really want a shiny finish, you can. Just make sure that you apply more than one layer of top coat because Beatrix does eat polish.
Application & Formula
I got great coverage with just a single coat, but I applied a second coat to ensure complete opacity.
The thing I love about textured nail polish is that it dries really fast. Whenever I’m strapped for time, it’s perfect!

Final Verdict: 8/10
Wearing Zoya Beatrix was like wearing the sunshine on my nails, hehe, in the form of nail polish! How cool is that? 🙂
Once again, I feel as though Zoya knocked it out of the park with an amazing formula and a stunning colour!
Which is your favourite Zoya PixieDust polish? Do you want the textured-nail trend to last for years, or are your tired of it already?
Edit: Yay! Zoya retweeted my blog post! 🙂
I love oranges 🙂 Beatrix looks great on you!!

Hey Raina!
Thanks! 🙂 I feel like I don’t wear oranges too often, so it’s always a treat when I do.
summery shade,
Hey Icequeen81!
It’s nice to wear this especially in the summer. 🙂 But I’d definitely wear it whenever I want to look down and see a happy colour!
AIYEEEEGYAAAA! *dies* Love it. I was hoping to find this one at Ulta yesterday, but I did manage to snag Solange! 😀

Hey Lizzy!
Solange is gorgeous, so you still did well! 😉
This is such a bright, cheerful orange! It definitely screams summer to me. I’m glad you’re enjoying it, it looks nice on you!

Hey Another Cristina!
There’s something about oranges. I don’t think I’ve ever been let down by one. They’re instant mood lifters!
Is the Zoya Pixiedust finish just like the OPI Liquid Sands finish?
Hey Ani!
The Zoya PixieDust finish is pretty similar to the OPI Liquid Sand finish. The only difference would be that some of the PixieDust polishes have finer glitter. Overall, they both are gorgeous and have that wonderful, noticeable texture.
I soooo need this! I don’t know what it is but lately orange is the main nail polish color I’ve been wanting to wear. And yes, I hope the textured nail polish trend lasts for years ;).
Hey Tanya!
The weather’s heating up, and orange is a colour that really spells summer! Good choice!
I also really love the textured nail-polish trend. Not sick of it yet!
I was sooo close to buying this one, but I walked away. Its so pretty though. It would probably be a good base to stamp over when halloween or autumn comes around too 🙂

Hey Frosso!
Can you hear that? I think I can hear Beatrix sobbing. 😉 Haha!
Very pretty just wondering if it is easy to remove?
Hey Rebecca!
It wasn’t as easy to remove as a creme polish, but it wasn’t as challenging as a typical glitter. If you have a good nail-polish remover like the Beauty Secrets one from Sally Beauty Supply, it’s great! I didn’t have to scrub.
Thank you for replying 🙂
Hey Rebecca!
You’re very welcome. 🙂 Glad I could help!
