Hoopoe bird nail art for Israel

Hi!
Today I'm continuing with my "Where in the world-challenge". I haven't had the time for quite some time to do this challenge but I feel inspired and hope I'll finish it during this summer. :)

And as you've seen, it's no. 4 today, which is to make a nail art inspired by Israel.

As before I've searched information about the country and tried finding something inspiring. Honestly Israel was very hard, there's conflicts, war and other less fun things which isn't so inspiring.. However at the end I only had two option, the Hoopoe bird or the Cyclamen (flower).

At the end I choose to go with the Hoopoe bird which is the national bird of Israel. I didn't make it literally but choose to make it abstract as you'll see below.

 I first made a orange base which I sponged to a color of my liking. After that I sponged/painted a white gradient and used striping tape after it had dried. And then I sponged it black and pulled of the striping tape of and then dots and black rhinestones.

Polishes used:
Collection 2000 - 281 (orange)
Sure Promise (orange)
HM - In It For The Game
Nordic Cap - NP12
BK nail art color (white)

How did you like this? Did you see the inspiration from the Hoopoe? ;)
