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!

My latest mani is something I enjoy wearing for the past few days, it's so pretty that I don't even want to change it. It's really simply yet soooo beautiful I just stare at it all the time. 

I really wanted to try the Innisfree flakie polish that I got a while ago, I actually got it because I was looking for a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Sweet Dreams, which is a gorgeous pink flakie. This one was pretty close and just looked fabulous. The polish you see below is actually more pink toned in real life and it shows more orange because of the color I layered it over. So in these photos it's not a really good example for it being  a dupe for DL's Sweet Dreams, but it's so gorgeous!

I started with one coat of GADE Fruit (which I swatched alone in this post), it wasn't opaque in one coat, but I was going to layer more coats of the Innisfrre polish so that didn't bother me.

Then I applied two coats of Innisfree Cherry Jelly (99) which is a pink-red toned flakie, in the bottle it looks very similar to Deborah Lippmann Sweet Dreams. I guess if I layered it over a bit more pink toned base, it could have been a better example to show you how similar they are.

The Inisfree polish was opaque enough with 3 coats, and on it's own it was pretty close to the look I created with the base color, but a bit more sheer.

It was really pretty with a glossy top coat, but I decided to try the matte look with Revlon Matte Top Coat which I came to love love love since the first time I tried it.

The result was stunning! It looks like flames on my fingertips, simply gorgeous. I even love that it didn't come out as I intended it to be (hoping to create a dupe look), but something more interesting and beautiful.
