Products & Tools Used

Before You Begin

Apply 1 coat of OPI GelColor Stay Classic Base Coat. Cure 30 seconds in OPI LED Light.

Apply 2 coats of OPI GelColor My Favorite Gal Pal. Cure each coat for 30 seconds.

Use a nail art brush & a combination of Alpine Snow & All About the Bows, form a small rose shape with the combined (not mixed) shades. Repeat the process using Alpine Snow & Hello Pretty to form additional rose shapes to the right & left.

Add to the roses by combining Alpine Snow and I'm On a Sushi Roll to form small leaves on top. Cure 30 seconds.

Apply 1 coat of OPI Chrome Effects No-Cleanse Top Coat. Cure 30 seconds.

Use a nail art brush and Alpine Snow to create a skull shape that sits at the center of the nail below the flowers. Do not cure.

Pro Tip

To form an easy skull shape combine two semi-oval shapes, one larger above one smaller connected at the center.

Pour on a small amount of OPI Powder Perfection Clear Color Set Powder to the uncured Alpine Snow. Gently tap off the excess powder. Do not cure.

Use a cuticle stick to form the mouth with a thin straight line from one side to the other, & add smaller lines perpendicularly to enhance the feature. Add eyes using a dotting tool to form 2 small indents, & a triangular nose to finish.
