Pumpkin Carvings & Halloween Glitter

I've been doing all kinds of 'different' Halloween manis, trying not to go for the obvious designs.

Still I'd promised you all a 'more traditional' manicure for Halloween and today I felt inspired enough to go for it:






And I really have to say - sometimes you don't need much to rock a great mani! :)




I started this mani by painting my index, pinkie and thumb with a black polish - Purple Professional No.18.
I then chose a glitter topcoater with Halloween glitter colours - Golden Rose Jolly Jewels No.106.





I love the purple and the green mixed with the gold. 
The perfect Halloween mix of colours, right after gold and orange, of course! ;)





I went with an orange base colour for my middle and ring fingers, using an OPI from last year's Summer collection ( I think...) - it has lost its identification sticker ages ago, so I can't really tell you which one it is.





I then saran wrapped the base with Beauty UK Aztec - the perfect gold - to mimic a lit pumpkin.





After that dried I took my black acrylic paint and painted some Halloween motives (bats, graves, a haunted house and a scary tree) for a carved like effect :)



I loved the simplicity of this look and loved how great the photos came out - I think orange polishes go with my skin tone - at least on photos ;)

What do you think? Hope you've liked this one as much as I have! 


Hugs & Kissies,
