Hello lovelies,

It's very exciting day for me because right now I'm travelling to London for the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards! I'll be joined by Alice (One Nail To Rule Them All) and Sammy (The Nailasaurus). I can't wait to see the girls again, I'm sure we'll have a blast! Have fingers crossed for us, it would be so awesome if a nail blog would win the Best Established Beauty Blog category.

Back to the nails though...

I've been asked to do some Halloween themed nails with SpaRitual polishes and fingers crossed, they might get featured in their brochure :) So what have I done?

I have created the same base for all nails using SpaRitual Solaris and then I've painted a yellow circle with Positive Vibe. Then I've painted a different Halloween designs in black on each nail. You could do this with polish or with acrylic paint. I've used Nsi Prism Paints in Deep Secrets.

Here's also a picture tutorial for one of the designs ;)

I really love how the nails came out and that each looks so different! They are probably the best Halloween nails I've done to date...what do you think?

SpaRitual polishes are available at Sparitual UK and Sparitual US and at Feelunique.com

So wish me and the girls luck, I'm logging off and I can't wait to be in London and at the party with some drink in my hand! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I can't believe it's October again! The cold weather is slowly approaching and with it the Halloween and holiday season. I will be publishing few Halloween-inspired designs during October. I've already shown you earthy gradient inspired by Halloween and today I've been playing with textured polishes.

I have used two textured glitter polishes from China Glaze Apocalypse of Color 2014 Halloween collection - Love Your Guts & Getting To Gnaw You. All I did was paint two coats of Love Your Guts and when it dried I painted swirls and lines with small brush and Getting To Gnaw You. Simples!

I find Getting To Gnaw You very interesting because I don't have any colour similar to this. It has dark brown base with copper glitter and it dries nicely textured but looks lovely with topcoat as well. I love how the textured effect 'made' the manicure, it looks so much better than classic glossy finish.

Both polishes were sent to me by nailpolish.co.uk, and they can be purchased for £4.95 each. Nailpolish.co.uk is UK online store that offers various nail polish brands including China Glaze, OPI, Sally Hansen etc. plus it offers free delivery!

So what do you think? Would you wear textured design like this or are you done with the texture trend? Let me know in the comments!

Have a lovely day. Lucie x
