Halloween white spider nail art in pink and black

Happy Saturday everyone!
Inspired by this nail art which I showed you the day before yesterday I've been thinking of making some sort of Halloween nail art in pink and black but still clearly Halloween. I honestly think I like the original more than this one but I still think it's fun. I mean if any one is going out this Halloween the nail art doesn't have to be orange/white/black to be Halloween inspired, it could be any color of your choice to match it with your outfit.

To make this nail art I painted my nails in neon pink and then I sponged black diagonal over the nail starting from the side of the tips. But I wasn't content there so I used my matte black glitter polish - uninhibited and dabbed if near the gradient and some over the pink to make the gradient ehm..cooler looking?! ;D
 After that I painted my spider webs and glued a 5MM pearl rhinestone as a spider body and then a 3MM pearl rhinestone as a spider head. And then I added two metal beads as eyes/jaws(?). The observant one might notice that I've alternated my accent nails, well both thumbs got spiders but the spider is on my ring finger on my left hand and on my middle finger on my right hand.
I think that a white spider is a fun idea, however if I'll do it again I think I will redo some things with it if I do it again. :) (Which I probably will ;))
Another detail is that the pictures where taken after I'd worn it for some days and I had cheated with the topcoat the which ended up in some wear and tear of the rhinestones/nail art in general. Multiple or triple layers of topcoat over the pearl rhinestones are a must in the long run to make it last longer!

Polishes and materials used:
Kleancolor - Neon Pink
Kleancolor - Black
L.A. Girl - Uninhibited
Jordana Pop Art - white
5MM pearl rhinestones
3MM pearl rhinestones
Silver metal beads.

Which one did you like best? This one or the "old" one in orange with black spiders?

  1. Very pretty! I did prefer the orange version just because that colour is more related to Halloween. But this version is also great!

    1. Thank you, I think the same as you, I liked the original version better than this one. I think it's because the spider web appears thicker lined,even though I don't think it is. It's like a "trompe l'oeil"-thing going on with white and black, white appears thicker and black appears thinner. However, luckily the fun part of nail art is the variation. :D
