Skulls are yet another quintessential part of Halloween time, so I put some of those spooky little guys on my fingertips.
To get the look, paint 4 of your nails black or off-black (I used a deep purple) and one of your nails two coats of a white polish. On the white polish, carve out the cheekbones by painting short, downward-angled lines about halfway down the length of the nail. Fill in the angle to the tip of the nail to create the skull's "cheekbones". With a dotting tool create two dots for eyes and draw an upside down heart for the nose. Use the edge of the brush to create a straight line across the nail, then feather shorter lines perpendicular to make the mouth. To finish, you can paint black around the tips of the nail to shape the jaw.
Easy peasy lemon squeez-y. A skull is just white polish with a bunch of black lines and dots and blobs on top!
