I changed my mind since yesterday. I am NOT over the Halloween manis lol. I was just lacking inspiration, but then out of the blue yesterday I decided I wanted to try skulls. Executing this thought in my head was more difficult than I thought, but once I figured it out it was a cinch.
Colors Used: Mentality - Tempest, Sally Hansen - White On, Acrylic Paint
I started with my matte base color, Tempest. This beauty only needs one coat; it's my favorite of my Mentality collection ;) I then took the end of a nail art brush (because I don't have a dotting tool this large) and placed large white dots on my nails.
I then took a detail brush and applied white stripes (with acrylic paint because it's easier to work with) for the jaws. I straightened out the jaws with a swipe of Tempest across their bottoms and topped with Mentality Matte Top Coat.
"You wanna know why skeletons are so calm? Because nothing gets under their skin!" Ba-dum-bum!
I really really love the way these turned out! But... I am now uninspired again hahaha. Any suggestions???
Until next time!
