Hiya guys! I was so surprised and happy at how many of you thought my bat-camo nails were not a fail yesterday. Definitely brought a smile to my face so thank you for that. Today I am bringing you another spooky look for Halloween. I can't believe I didn't do a skull-related mani up till this point, I mean skulls are like the classic symbol of spook! Well to be honest, I didn't because I was afraid to even attempt drawing one. It's one of those things that seem simple, but once you try it feels like a failure. But these are definitely not a nail fail to me, I actually really love the look of these.I ended up drawing the bones in the same way I would doggie bones. In retrospect, I think they ended up turning out a little too cutesy in contrast with the more grunge feel of the skull. What do you think?The base for my pointer and pinky nail is calledfrom. I totally had to matte the dark crelly to fit with the grunge look of this mani. Okay, okay I didn't have to but I love the matte so much haha. I freehanded the bones and skull using a detail brush and acrylic paint. On my accent nail I used a black textured polish fromcalled. The totally spooky skelly hand charm is from one of my favorite shopsThe funny thing about this mani is that this was my third attempt at trying to do a skull. Going into this mani I knew I wanted to use this skelly charm, so naturally it needed to be accompanied by a skull. Well my first two attempts came out super weird, just completely bad. I decided to call it a night and the next day I tried it again.In the end, I'm really happy that I kept at it until it turned out exactly how I wanted. And that's the thing about freehand art, sometimes you just have to walk away in order to clear your mind. You can't force something to look good, you just have to practice until it just clicks. But tips and tricks always help a long the way of course! Do you guys have any to share?
