I guess I'm one of the few people who wasn't blown away by Roxy. I love glitter polishes and thought I'd love Roxy, but to me it just looks like a shade you could get in the $1 polish bin at the drugstore. Too much monotone all one size glitter for me and the base color itself is nothing unique. Not a polish I would buy again.

This is a sheer polish with bright purple glitters suspended in a magenta jelly base. Kinda reminded me of the purple version of China Glaze’s Ruby Pumps. It dries down to a less shiny finish so a top coat is definitely required for full-on shine. It looks pretty amazing even under artificial lights, totally a winner.

The application was awkward though, I don’t know if I had received a dud bottle or something but this was goopy and uneven when I first swatched it. It was fine after I thinned it out with Orly’s Nail Lacquer Thinner. It was a little hard to spread the glitters evenly on the nail even with 3 coats. Perhaps letting the coats dry completely in between will yield better results but I had no such patience.

Everyone has to get one of this, it looks amazing on Asian skin tones.

Roxy is one of my favorite polishes ever. It's such a beautiful color with glitter suspended throughout. Zoya polishes don't wear as well on me as some other brands, but Roxy is worth the extra effort IMHO.

I kind of a newbie and doing my own manicures/pedicures. I'd been having pretty good success with the OPI and China Glaze nail polishes, so I decided to take advantage of the three free polishes from Zoya.com. I got Jaime (my name), Isla, and Roxy.
Let me start with what I liked: The color of this polish is gorgeous. purple/red sparkle. It really only took two coats to make this opaque.
Here's what I didn't like: The handle - again, I admit that I am new, but I dropped the handle twice when trying to apply it. I felt like it was really hard to grip. I also felt like for me at least, these polishes were hard to apply evenly. Also, for me it was REALLY hard to get all the glitter off when I tried to remove this polish (and yes, I used a base coat, and a top coat, for that matter).

Overall, maybe this is suited for the pros, but for a newbie like me, this was hard to work with. I don't think I'll be purchasing any more Zoyas (at least until my skills improve).

I just had a pedicure at a new place that only uses Zoya and I had this applied. I've no idea the price per bottle (they were sold out of it on the stand where you could buy the product to take home) but I'm guessing it's in the same approximate range as OPI. WHAT a stunningly beautiful colour. A deep plummy red with amazing glitter. I don't want to cover my toes up, they look so fantastic. I love this colour and fully intend to buy a bottle when they get it back in stock (apparently, it's the one they keep selling out of, which must say something about how great it is).

On me this one turn darker than on swatches, so I classify it as a vampy. It's super pretty. Need two coats. The color is deep and not over sparkly. Also the glitter is not tacky at all. Very appropriate for all grown-up, classy, elegant shades lovers. I would also suggest it for someone who search for glitter polish appropriate for older women - some that I know are afraid of glitter and think that are only for little girls... Roxy is not like that at all. I like bottles from Zoya a lot. Brush is fine. Polish dries quickly. I bought it in local store for 10€ I think, so that's a bit pricey but it is like it is with prices in EU for US polish brands. I strongly recomend it. I think that it would suit any skintone.

Believe it or not this is one of my first official glitter polishes...and I am in love! I used to be a sheer nude creme kinda gal, but a few months on the NB turned me into a glitter-loving fool! Well, this glitter, at least :) It's smooth after one coat of SV and it's a very classy look. I am impressed!

Super cool colour!!!!
I didn't like the look of it in the bottle but I bought it because I saw swatches online...it has very nice glitter, not tacky like it looks in the bottle. Wearing it over a dark colour like black makes it pop even more.
this is one of my all time favs for sure!!!

Very pretty! but fyi- hard to remove, its funny how the color will come off and will leave silver glitter that you needa scrub off. Other than that, sooooooooooo pretty <3

This polish is a beaut! I totally regret not picking this as one of my free polishes during the big Zoya Polish Exchange earlier this year, so I had to scour eBay for one at a reasonable price. I am currently wearing it on my toes and it's gorgeous! Two coats is sufficient but I like three for extra bling. Fortunately, I didn't have any problems with Roxy being streaky or sheer like I've had with other Zoya polishes. The finish wasn't as shiny as I would've liked, but it's nothing a little top coat can't fix! Three coats polish + one layer top coat = bling city. Looking at my sparkly toes makes me so happy. Love it!

This is awesome, and best of all I got it for free! It's a really nice color with tons of glitter. I just got it today and immediately put it on my toes. Two coats was all it required. I'm hoping it won't be too difficult to remove since it is a glitter.

I love this! This polish is seriously so pretty and packed with glitter. 2 coats was perfect on me. I'm pretty into frenches and pinks for my hands so this is more of a pedi color for me but its really, really nice...especially on my toes. It just glitters and looks so amazing. Ive had problems with some Zoyas being streaky and taking forever to dry but this one was just fine on me. This is probably the most unique polish in Zoyas line and I totally wish they would make more but different colors!

Be still my beating heart .. this is the one polish that I will never, EVER be without .. I have two bottles of this bad boy because it's just a stunner! Roxy is BLING-TASTIC .. it's a glittery bit of deliciousness in a bottle. This thing is *SOLID* glitter. For me .. this is a toe color only, but when I have it on, I canNOT stop staring at my toes! It's pure deep fuschia glitter and looks absolutely incredible on! When it comes to my pedi's . I'm all about the bling, and this polish is all that and more!!

Oh my gosh- this colour is amazing! I just love how it looks! I love purples and this has to be my favourite. It has lots of glitter but it looks so good, I usually loathe glitter polishes as thet can look cheap and childlike but this i love. Would suit all skin types. I would certainly buy again!

I love this polish. It looks great on my cool toned skin. It is a great magenta color that has a ton of glitter in it. The polish itself is a jelly, but I get an opaque finish after 2 coats. I would definitely repurchase.

I've had this polish for awhile and dont know why it took me so long to use it. WOW. This has become a huge favorite of mine. 3 coats brings this polish to complete opacity. It is a deep magenta with magenta glitter. It dries smooth and with a topcoat, really pops. Like others have said, it is similar to what Ruby Pumps is, and for glitter lovers, it is a must.

YES

It's the magenta (purple+dark hot pink) version of China Glaze's glitter dense, super bitchin' Ruby Pumps. Not too trashy, tacky or glittery cheeseball to wear on your tips. Three coats may cause you to drive off the road, blinded by the disco fabulousness of your own nails.

If you love China Glaze Ruby Pumps and how packed the glitter is, you will love Roxy. Great magenta color with tons of glitter. Two coats and you are set!
