Mexican Sugar Skulls

I was perusing through Halloween pictures on ShutterStock (a website I use to look for ideas a lot) and found some sugar skull images. I thought it would be a fun nail art project to do that was a little out of the ordinary!

I used a base of Zoya Purity and several different colors to decorate the skulls. In retrospect, I should've placed the eyes of the skulls up higher because I think it's a little hard to tell they're skulls since you can't see the teeth. I'm not sure if people would know what they were if I hadn't mentioned it, but I thought I'd post it anyway! And my cuticles have taken a beating lately so nothing I've been doing has been looking too good... poor cuticles :( I'm trying to nurse them back to health after our swatch-a-thon this week.


Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! It's Homecoming weekend at my alma mater so I'll be shenanigating there for the weekend! :)
