Cunnt Facts:  Sugar skulls represented a departed soul, which had the name written on the forehead and was placed on gravestone to honor the return of a particular spirit. Sugar skull art reflects the folk art style of big happy smiles, colorful icing and sparkly tin and glittery adornments.

Italian missionaries brought sugar art to the New World in the 17th century. The first Church mention of sugar art was from Palermo at Easter time when little sugar lambs and angels were made to adorn the side altars in the Catholic Church (Source: mexicansugarskull.com)

Cunnt DIY: These Sugar Skulls nail design is a cool modern way to up-do the traditional skull heads. Below is a DIY tutorial of how to execute a sugar skull on you own nails:

NYC Comic Con 2013

Counting down to the days of Halloween, this weekend the festivities was in full force at New York’s Comic Con 2013. Cosmic Con is an annual convention that is held at the, Javits Center located on the West side of Manhattan. With over 9,000 comic nerds and vendors (all types of people dressed up in costumes) join together for a four-day indoors blast. According to sources, Comic Con tickets were sold out since, April!!! Gesssh! The building were jam-packed, and the energy there was so turnt up to the ultimate max. All the attention was zoomed on the animated characters walking around in their getup costumes and the, “I Nailed New York” booth!!! Each day there were a different set of nail artist- but on this day, some of New York’s best nail artist; Ria Lopez (Ria’s Nailz), Shelley Burns (Shell Breezy), Mimi Wilson (Nails by Mimi), Ashley (Naked Ash Nails), Kelly Blackwell(I_Nailed_it) and Alicia (Alicia’s Nails) came out to display their talent and indeed all of the nail menus presented were tricked out with many different characters which at some point you either adored or were freaking petrified of!! I am so proud of all the lovely artists who participated in the Comic Con convention!! Nail art is gradually pushing the limits and is evolving to a diverse light of life, and it is slowly becoming a lifestyle to many. Pre-Halloween party? Yes, Comic Con indeed had everyone warmed up for what is to come in regard to, Halloween amusement! Getting wicked manicures to show off with your costumes! Child pleaseeee, what more can a gal ask for? No regrets, just a good ass turn out!

Nail’d by TipGang!

Ever been so excited that you actually get a dream about the thing you were excited about? Well guys, this is living proof! I took a trip this weekend up to Bronx’s finest, The Nail Factory, to have my nails pierced from Cunnt Claws’ friend, Fallon (TipGang). OMG, words can not explain how excited I was to get started on my nail set! The main objective was for my nail to be drill with some form of technical tool, to execute the “pierced nail” look and I didn’t care too much of how long it would have taken. After four hours of some serious nail work, Fallon satisfied all of my cunnt crave nail addictions of this new trend, which has been long over due! (doom, dooom doooommmm) Check out the documented images below:
