Halloween Glitter Gradient Nails


Happy Halloween Everybody !! 

This year, I decided to do a glittery gradient nail for Halloween! The black is Illamasqua - Boosh and the silver super duper glittery polish is Illamasqua - Harsh. Careful when purchasing the black polish, Illamasqua makes two black ones - one glossy, one matte.

This look is created as follows:
1. Two coats of black polish
2. With the silver polish, I make sure all excess polish is wiped off and with the product on the wand, I apply it to the top half of the nail - doing this ensures that you get the gradient effect because the product is thinned out.
3. Dipping the brush back into the silver polish, I use a regular amount and just paint the tip of the nails making the tips a solid silver glitter color - hence gradient mission completed! 

Side Note!:  A HUGE Thank You to all those that voted for me for the NailPolishCanada Halloween Nail Art Challenge - it really means alot to me! For the Peer Prize, I am one of the 5 finalists - it is now up to the other contestants to vote for the peer favorite. However, there is still 2 awards left besides the peer one, Prize #1: Reader Voting - favorite amongst viewers, bloggers, NPC customers etc. Prize #2: Most Grotesque nails (name self explanatory) and finally - #3 - The Peer prize mentioned above.

For those of you who missed it, my entry can be found here: http://blog.mirandaloves.com/2014/10/nail-polish-canada-halloween-nail-art.html  - my blog had over 250 hits so I'm hoping that I will win one of the awards? maybe the overall Reader Voting one? :):) * fingers crossed
