The time of year were all the ghouls and monsters come out (of the dark presumably, not the closet...).
To celebrate this I decided to do some skeleton nail art that will only take half an hour or so and a steady hand.
For this look I only used 3 nail products:
Maybelline colour show in 'downtown red'.
Barry M's white nail art pen.
Color club's art club top coat.
You could use any nail varnishes as long as you have a dark bottom coat, I used red but blue or purple would look nice too. A white nail pen or striper brush. And a top coat. A matte top coat would also be really cool here.
First thing to do is to apply your background colour. I used 3 coats to make it super opaque. Wait for it to dry. The colour show dries pretty quickly actually which makes this even quicker.
Second step is to start drawing your skeletons on. I really reconmend investing in a nail pen as it saves a lot of time and dries quicker than regular nail varnish. You could use a striper/thin brush for this too or even a cocktail stick dipped in white varnish. I also think it's a good idea to practise your design on paper first to get an idea of what you want it to look like.
You might need some help doing it on your less dominant hand but with practise you'll be able to do it yourself in no time! This is supposed to look a little rough anyway so a couple of wobbly line will just add to the creepy.
Leave to dry and finish with a clear top coat. This is a super important step as the Barry M pen will wear of quickly otherwise.
Now your all set to go with glamourous halloween nails.
Good luck!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
