- Begin with clean nails and a clear basecoat polished on your nails.
- Start by painting one of your nails white. This will help to let it dry before creating the skull.
- Move on to your other nails and polish the bottom 1/3 of your nail black.
- Take your grey polish and blend it with the black polish and polish the next third of your nail.
- Now take your white polish and finish off the tip.
- Take your silver glitter polish and paint over the white. This will give the white a more grey look and will be more sparkly and girly.
- For the white accent nail take your black nail striper or brush and slowy form a circle with a small gap at the bottom. This is the head of the skull.
- Draw 3-4 lines within the gap of the circle. These are the teeth.
- Use the brush or a dotting tool and create two small ovals for the skull's eyes.
- Wait for your nails to dry completely before applying a top coat, if not your nails will smear!
Fashion is art, art is expression, and expression is life. I love fashion, music and trying new things just to say I did. I'm a very random person and would rather look at life through the "wrong" end of the telescope. I am also very girly but I have other dimensions that my personality showcases. Through my blog I just want to show everything I love and catches my eye. I'll also post quotes and people I find inspiring. Stay beautiful :)

DIY Nails: Simple Skull and Ombre
I am so in love with my cute and simple ombre nails with a skull accent. I decided since it's the first day of October, I might as well get the Halloween theme going! I didn't want to do an extremely detailed design just because I wanted something that doesn't take a lot of time and isn't going to chip right off. Also, I'm not into scary creatures so I wanted to just stick with a Tim Burton like skull. All you need to recreate this nail look are asilver glitter, black, white, and grey nail polishes as well as a black nail striper or thin brush.
