Halloween Watermarble Mummies Nail Art

Howdy howdy!  It's Friday and I'm happy because I ordered two dozen faux cronuts at a nearby bakery to take into my office.  They'll probably cost me close to a $100, but I feel like the staff needs a pick me up, and not to mention faux cronuts are ah-may-zing.  I had one the other day while on a business meeting and I couldn't believe the light fluffy crispiness and decadent toppings could come together to become the perfect creation of a faux cronut.  Pardon me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard.

Anyhoo, for today I had the golden minute of some peace and quiet while LO was napping to do some watermarbling.  I've been hankering to recreate some mummies for Halloween so I grabbed my Wet N Wild French White cream and Barry M Grey and started dropping away onto the water.  The marbling went fairly easy and I think the grey worked out pretty well for the shading of the bands.  I finished the eyes with my trusty dotting tool and Wet N Wild black creme.

I can't help but smile every time I see those googly eyes, they're so goofy!  I think that's why I wanted to recreate them.  Cheers to the one who came up with this idea!  I wish I was creative enough to think of it.  Maybe I'll take a spin off the idea and create something else with cute googly eyes.  Have you done any Halloween nail art yet?
