8 Spooky Nights: Night 1 - Skulls

Hey everyone! I'm participating in my first blogger challenge - 8 Spooky Nights hosted by PeaceLoveLacquer!

The first challenge is Skulls! I, like many nail bloggers, immediately thought of sugar skulls. Once I started though, I quickly got derailed and ended up with these beauties!

They look much better in person - Essie's Shine of the Times was used on all the skulls but barely shows up in the photos on white.

Here's a peek at what to expect until Halloween! I've already got tomorrows design done(the only downside is not getting to enjoy my nails longer!) Thankfully we're skipping Saturday and Sunday since I'm going to visit my brother (and niece who is the CUTEST thing ever!) If I have time I'll give some bonus nails or maybe a makeup look!

There are also a lot of other amazing bloggers participating, please check them out!
