Happy Halloween everyone!

Oh how I wish we had this awesome holiday here in Israel, it always looks so fun and I just love the spooky decorations and costumes.

So I thought I should try to create another Halloween inspired nail art while I still can, and this is what I came up with.

I created this textured spiderwebs nail art with black and orange textured polishes, and stamped silver spiderwebs design over it. I really love how this turned out, and I hope you'll like it too. 

My previous Halloween manicure got many great comments and was shared by so many people, which I really appreciate and was super happy about by the way, so thank you all so much!

For this manicure I used two textured polishes - Zoya Destiny and Chic Sugar Baby 07, and created a gradient with these two colors. This was my first attempt creating a gradient with textured polishes, I was prepared for a hard and messy work but this turned out to be quite easy. I decided to use a bit different technique for this, I painted each half of the nail with a different color. Once the polish was relatively dry, I sponged both colors over the middle to merge the colors. I have to admit that I am pretty pleased with this gradient.

Once the base was dry, I stamped a spiderweb design from Bunny Nails HD04 plate with Essie No Place Like Chrome. I didn't use any top coat for this design to preserve the textured effect.

I wanted to show you a little closeup of Chic Sugar Baby 07, just to show you that it's not a regular black sand polish, but it actually consist of tiny shreds of glitter / micro flakes in various colors like orange, blue and pink, all mixed up in a black jelly base. I tried to capture the polish on the brush so you could see how beautiful and interesting this colors is. When it dries it also shows all these colors, but it's a bit hard to capture. A while ago I posted a macro shot of this polish on Instagram, so you can check this photo to get a better idea of how this polish looks like.

I hope you liked my Halloween nail art, and that you are having a wonderful and fun holiday!

I would love to hear what you think about this design, also feel free to share with me your Halloween manicures, I would love to see what you are wearing on your nails for this holiday.

Thank you for reading!

Hello to me lovely readers!
Today I have a delicious swatch for you to start this lovely summery weekend.
Zoya Destiny from the PixieDust Summer 2013 collection, is a bright orange (or coral) shade with golden shimmer. The PixieDust collection includes textured polishes with a gritty finish, which makes them really sparkly and pretty in the sun.
The formula was quite good, pretty thick but I didn't have any problems with the application. I applied two coats, no top coat. It look a bit longer to dry than normal creme or jelly formulas, but it wasn't that bad.
I'm still not sure how I feel about textured polishes, I love how they look on the nails, but it always feels weird to touch. Sometimes the texture makes me shiver lol. Still, taking this fact in mind, I really wanted to try the polishes from the PixieDust collection because they look so gorgeous on the nails!
Hope you will enjoy the photos, thanks for reading!
