Beautiful design options for manicure with skulls

A skull manicure is quite provocative and bold, but at the same time a stylish option for nail design. Of course, this design method is not suitable for everyone, however, those who are ready to experiment with their own image and are not afraid of the gaze of passers-by should definitely try to design their nails in this way.

First, you should carefully prepare your nails. To do this, you need to carefully remove the previously existing manicure and process the nails - apply a strengthening agent, smear the cuticles with cream, and in general, carry out all the necessary and familiar spa procedures for your hands. When the care part is completed, you should start applying varnish and drawing.

To draw a skull, you need a thin brush - you need to apply a drawing with it. You can also use a thin needle or toothpick as an aid. If you are not very confident in your artistic possibilities, then use the skull image as a guide. Before painting on your nails, you can practice on paper (however, you should paint with varnish even on paper). Alternatively, you can use a stencil. You can purchase it from beauty stores or make your own. First of all, it is necessary to apply a drawing of the skull itself and only then add bones (if desired).

There are many varieties of skull nail designs. Let's consider the most popular and interesting ones.

• The classic black and white version. This method of applying the image of the skull to the nails is considered traditional. So, the base and the base is black varnish, on top of which a picture is drawn in white. Stylish and contrasting.

• Color fantasy. Recently, modernized images of the skull have become more and more popular - for example, bones can be depicted in color or diluted with other drawings (most often colors). Original and unusual.

• Sequins. In this case, transparent or black varnish can become the main coating, and the skull itself is depicted using sparkles, rhinestones or crystals. There are several options for such a design: firstly, only the outlines and contours of the drawing can be applied, and secondly, the skull can be depicted in full. Bright and defiant.

• One large or several small ones. So, a skull in the design of nails can become a central decoration or play the role of a small detail. Catchy and effective.

• Accents. The skull can only be depicted on one of the nails, while the other four will be painted with a solid color. Interesting and attractive.

• On Halloween. If you are looking for a stylish Halloween look, then a skull manicure can be a great and appropriate detail of your look.

• Stickers. If you do not want to spend too much effort on drawing a skull drawing, then you can use a ready-made picture - stickers. Fast and easy.

Of course, the skull can become the central figure of your manicure, however, it may not be alone on the nails. So, this drawing can be combined with a cobweb to give the image a certain gothic look. For large originals, a version of the image on one hand of the skull, and on the other - the rest of the skeleton, is suitable. Thus, by combining both hands, you will get a complete picture. Another successful duet is the skull and bats.
