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!

בפוסט של היום מככב אחד הלקים המוצלחים לדעתי מהקולקציה החדשה Sugar Baby של חברת CHIC, זהו לק כחול מהפנט בעל אפקט סוכר וגימור מנצנץ / שימרי.
הלק המדובר התחבב עלי מכל הקולקציה בזכות המראה המיוחד שלו, הוא בעל צבע מלכותי והגימור שלו נראה נהדר עם ובלי טופ שקוף מעל.

In today's post starring one of the prettiest polishes from CHIC's Sugar Baby collection. This is a hypnotizing blue shade with a shimmery sugar effect.

This polish became my favorite thanks to it's unique look, it's beautiful royal color and the fabulous looks it has with and without a top coat.

The formula was great, application was easy and percise, the pigment was good enough to allow great coverage with just one coat (but you already know me, I usually prefer two coats for a perfect finish). From what I've seen so far, it looks like the entire collection has the same great formula, which makes me like it even more.

For the photos below I applied two coats of CHIC Sugar Baby № 1.

I had a feeling that I should try this polish with a top coat, and I was happy I did. Tho a top coat cancels the texture of the polish, it was totally worth it to see this gorgeous sparkly look.

I applied two coats of Seche Vite, and as you can see this looked incredible.

Thanks to the glossy finish, the polish looked so sparkly and had a lovely depth. It actually made me think oh a blue and clear ocean, so lovely. Believe me when I say it was much prettier in person, so if you have the chance to try this for yourself, I tottaly recommend you do.

I hope you liked this polish and enjoyed my swatches and review. Be sure to come back to check more of this collection in my next posts. Thanks for reading!

היום אני שמחה לשתף אתכן בקולקציה חדשה שהושקה לפני שבוע ע"י חברת CHIC הישראלית. מדובר בקולקציה עכשווית וצבעונית שקיבלה את השם Sugar Baby בזכות אפקט הסוכר (או כשפי שאנחנו מכירים אותה בתור חול נוזלי Liquid Sand). האפקט הזה הפך לטרנדי בכל העולם ומזה חודשים שחברות לק בינלאומיות משיקות קולקציות בעלות אפקט דומה. למרות שלא מדובר בחידוש מהפכני, אני אישית מאוד התרגשתי כששמעתי על השקת הקולקציה הזו. נדיר שחברות לקים בארץ עומדות בקצב ומוציאות קולקצית חדשות, שלא לדבר על השקת מוצר טרנדי ועדכני שיהווה מתחרה ראוי לשוק הרחב בעולם.
כמו בנות רבות שרק שמעו על השקת הקולקציה, גם אני החלטתי לבקר במספר חנויות בעיר מגורי ויצאתי בחיפושים אחר הקולקציה החדשה של שיק. התאכזבתי כשלא מצאתי זכר ללקים בסניפי הסופר פארם, אך לא ויתרתי וביקרתי בחנות קוסמטיקה מקומית בשם "שיווקית" שמחזיקה לקים של שיק, ושמחתי לגלות שהקולקציה מגיעה אליה ממש בקרוב.
עבר שבוע מאז ההשקה, וכבר הלקים הגיעו אל החנות. כמובן שלא עמדתי בפיתוי - הצטיידתי במצלמה ושמתי פעמיי אל החנות. כשהגעתי, קיבלו את פני סטנד הלקים המדובר ובעלי החנות החביבים.

Today I want to share some local nail polish news with you. The Israeli nail polish brand CHIC has launched a new collection a week ago, under the name Sugar Baby. This collection includes 12 bright and fun colors with a sugar / liquid sand effect.

Tho this might sound like old news, I was actually excited to hear about this collection. Releases of new collections here in Israel are not that common, and mostly don't include interesting or up to date effects.

I was happy to find this collection at a local store in my town, and I made sure to take my camera with me to take some photos of the colorful stand and bottle shots.

The collection includes seven glitter / shimmery sugar finish polishes, and five more matte sugar effects.

Here are the five colors I chose for myself from this collection. I will be swatching them in the next few posts soon. I chose the ones with the glitter and shimmer effect, rather than the matte finish. They looked more impressive and interesting to me. I hope to post the swatches soon so you can see how pretty these are.

This collection

מי שטרם הספיקה לראות את הקולקציה בחנויות, אני שמחה לספר שבעלי החנות סיפרו לי שהם אפילו עושים משלוחים בכל הארץ! ואם זה לא מספיק, הם מציעים מבצע מאוד אטרקטיבי על הקולקציה - 30 ש"ח לשני בקבוקי לק. לדעתי המחיר מאוד משתלם, בידיעה שהמחיר לצרכן עליו הכריזו שיק הוא 22 ש"ח ללק.

אני ממליצה בחום על החנות הזו, מדובר בחנות וותיקה ואמינה, אותה מנהלים מוכרים חביבים מאוד.
המחירים מאוד זולים, ויש מגוון רחב של לקים מחברת CHIC וחברת GK, וכמובן מוצרים אחרים שניתן למצוא בתחום הקוסמטיקה, טואלטיקה ופרפומריה.
החנות "שיווקית" ממוקמת במרכז רמת השרון, ברחוב אוסישקין 41.
טלפון להזמנות: 03-5404825

*הזמנה טלפונית ומשלוח כרוכים בתשלום נוסף, את העלות יש לברר מול החנות.

*הערה - את הלקים קניתי מכספי, איני מקבלת תמורה כלשהי לפרסום של החנות או של הלקים. אני ממליצה ונותנת את דעתי הכנה על החנות בגלל שלדעתי זו הזדמנות טובה עבור אלו שמחפשות לרכוש את הלקים מקולקציה החדשה.

For this weekend I have a stunning nail polish that was one of my top lemmings recently, and I was just so excited when I got to review it along with other beautiful shades from Dance Legend.
This is a stunning shade from the sand textured collection, and probably the most beautiful polish of that kind I've seen.

Dance Legend Amethyst (№16) from the Sahara Crystal collection is a deep purple shade with pink and violet micro glitter, that dries to a sand textured effect.
The polish in the bottle doesn't really reflect how it will look on the nails (that looks like regular glitter polish in colored base), and the textured effect that you will get on the nails is just mind blowing.
The formula of this polish was thick and very pigmented, but surprisingly easy to apply. I applied only one coat of the polish to the nails, and I received a great coverage. It dries quite fast so you will need to be quick with the application, to prevent bald spots.
Once completely dry, you will get the sand like texture, that is quite smooth and isn't bumpy as other sand effect polishes I've tried. 

The combination of this unique finish with the gorgeous glittery color, is what drives me to the conclusion that this is the most beautiful textured polish I've seen so far.

And if you thought it can't get any better, just wait and see how magical it is with a top coat!

From swatches I've seen before, I knew it's going to be spectacular once a top coat is applied. It brings out the color and makes the polish sparkle even more.

I applied two coats of Poshe for the photos below, but that wasn't enough for a perfect and smooth finish I desired, since sand / glitter polishes tend to "absorb" the top coat. Despite this, the polish still looked gorgeous and very sparkly.

This one is now defiantly at the top of my favorites list. Even if you are not a textured polish lover, I bet this polish will easily change your mind.
