Galaxy Nails have
been on my to do nail art for months now, and I mean serious months. To me they
are like the crème de la crème of nail art, only second in my eyes to the water
marbling.
I never actually
intended to do Galaxy Nails, instead I was going to do a half sponge nail, half
block colour, and yet as I did the sponge I thought it represented a night sky,
so mid way through I switched it up and got out the white nail art pen.
If I had intended
to do Galaxy Nails I might have done it differently, however I am pleased with
the results, and I hope you are too.
To recreate, you
will need:
- Nails Inc- Motcomb Street
- No 7 Speed Dry- 01 Poolside Blue
- Barry M Nail Paint- 294 Cyan Blue
- Barry M Nail Paint 292 Navy
- Avon Nailwear Pro- Peppermint Lead
- L’Oreal Paris Color Riche- 820 Crystalissime
- Model’s Own Nail Art Pen- White
First paint an all
over base of Cyan Blue.
Allow to dry, then
using a sponge, gentle dap Navy in random places. TIP- Do the first dab on some news paper as
usually this is too thick.
Next do the same
technique with Poolside Blue, Peppermint leaf and then Crystalissime, doing so
in different locations.
Once dry using the
brush of Motcomb, paint rough slanted tips on all nails, and the same effect at
the top of the nail. Dap once or twice with a sponge, but make sure this is
thicker and darker.
Finally using the
Nail art pen, dot on your stars and draw a rough big star.
Doing these made me think fondly of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy-
“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Never a truer word spoken Doug.

You should try. I think what I've learnt is that because it is blending of colours it doesn't have to look perfect x
