Zoya's website describes Vespa as a mint green with a sugared sparkle. IMO Vespa dries darker than your typical mint color. To me it's closer to a sage green than a mint. It has beautiful silver sparkle throughout that is noticeable in almost every light.
Swatches below are with no base or top coat. Vespa is somewhat sheer and 3 thin coats were used for full coverage. I didn't have any issues with application as long as I allowed some drying between coats. These swatches were taken after a full day of wear and applying lotion. It does seem to me that the color slightly darkens after applying lotion or cuticle oil a couple of times. Unfortunately the sun was hiding while I was trying to take these and the rain started just moments later so I had a hard time capturing the silver sparkle in these photos but it's definitely there IRL.

I love Vespa and can't wait to see some of the brighter colors that are going to be available in the new summer Pixie Dust Collection. You can purchase Vespa and the rest of the Pixie Dust Collections for $9.00 each on the Zoya website.
So what do you think? Is your texture craze already in full swing or are you new to the party like me?
