Spooky Skeleton Manicures

This Skull Nail Art Tutorial is Scarily Quick and Easy

With Halloween quickly approaching, the time for North Americans to start scrambling for costume ideas is here -- but if you prefer to show off your spooky holiday spirit in a more subtle way, this Skull Nail Art tutorial is just what you're looking for.

These ghoulish designs by Mary of Swatch and Learn are quick and easy, using basic nail polish colors you probably already have in your collection. Using a top and base coat, OPI Alpine Snow Nail Lacquer, two black polishes and Daniel Stone Art Tools, Mary created these dangerously playful nail designs in just under an hour with drying time.

If, like me, you haven't quite got the steadiest hand when it comes to applying polish, you might want to invite a friend over to help with the monster manicures, or even make a girl's night out of it! Try out this awesome Skull Nail Art design for yourself and don't be afraid to experiment!
