Pixi Nail Colour in Classy Cocoa |
I've seen good reviews of Pixi Nail Colour on the PolishAholic and Vampy Varnish, so I was eager to try it. But the price tag was a bit of a deterrent. At $8 for 7ml, it's pricier than what I would expect to pay for a polish at Target. So I decided to splurge for one shade and picked out this gorgeous brown called Classy Cocoa.
Description:
Classy Cocoa is one of those shades that is classic, but also complex. It's a rich cocoa brown with a warm shimmer and cool-toned/taupe undertones. It's one of those shades that is hard to describe, but hopefully my swatches capture some of the depth of this polish.

Formula:
Pixi Nail Colour comes in a tall and narrow bottle, and therefore the brush is also long - something that takes a bit of getting used to. However, I found myself getting used to the brush length, and found it worked out well.

And I was relieved to find that the formula was excellent on this one - really it couldn't have been more perfect! It went on so smooth and was perfectly self-leveling. I don't remember the exact number of coats (shame!) but it was either 2 or 3.

Final thoughts:
I enjoyed this polish so much that I'd be willing to buy others from this brand. They do have a limited colour range, which is unfortunate. Also some of the shades are quite basic (from a polish addict's perspective). But other shimmery shades will eventually be coming home with me! ;)

What do you think of this? Do you own any Pixi Nail Colour polishes?
This is pretty! Love the shimmer in it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
DeleteI love how glowy this is!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I love when shimmers have that effect.
DeleteThe shimmer makes it unusual, I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely! Although it is close to China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You - see my comment below.
DeleteIt looks pretty close to China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose you? At least on my screen anyway. Sometimes you can get lucky at target and get these for under $3 when they go on clearance.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip re: sales. I'll keep my eye out for the clearances. ;)
DeleteAs for your question. Looking at my swatches side by side, they are very, very close. The overall colour is similar, but Choo-Choo has more colour shifting properties - the shimmer has golden/olive tones, and the undertones are more cool, almost purple. Think of Classy Cocoa as the more conservative sister to Choo-Choo, which may appeal to some people. Especially for work.
