I knew I wanted to wear a skull and crossbones today but thought it would be overkill to paint one on to every finger although I was completely without ideas for what to wear on the rest of them!

I was playing with the studs on my nails trying to decide how to arrange them and ended up with this diamond shape. I started with the three middle studs down the center then added two on either side of that and one on the end.

For anyone wondering where to get these studs, I got them from Born Pretty Store. They have a great selection of different colours and sizes – I’m using the 1.5mm gold studs. I really want to try some purple ones and they also have square ones which look amazing!

The base colour is Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream. I painted on one coat, let that dry and as I painted on the second coat one nail at a time, adding the studs as I went. I used black acrylic paint with a small nail art brush to outline the skull and crossbones. Finished with a top coat of NYC In A New York minute.
