Galaxy

So I haven't realized how long it's been since I posted! I went to go download these photos off my camera and I had 3 other nail blogs on it! Jeeze, I have to keep up with myself.

These nails were requested on tumblr, as well as Facebook. I tried doing galaxy nails before but they didn't work out as well as these did!

I started off with one coat of Xtreme Wear Black Out and topped it off with a coat of with Claire's Galaxy. This gave me the effect of stars in the sky. I tried using OPI Metallic 4 Life but the sparkles were too big and chunky. I suggest using small sparkles for this.

To get the illusion of galaxy's I used two different sets of colours. Blue and Purple. For the blues I used L'oreal Club Prive, Revlon Jaded, Stripe Rite in Turquoise and this random dark sparkly blue that has no label. For the purples I used Sally Hansen Rock Bottom, Pure Ice Cheatin, China Glaze Spontaneous and OPI Panda-monium Pink.
To apply the polish I used a make up sponge and dabbed on the colours lightest to darkest, focusing on a light point on the nail.

Then I took my Stripe Rite in Silver and White to add bigger stars. I only added a few of these because I didn't want to overwhelm my nails! For the white ones I added little arms to make them look like they're sparkling in the night sky.

Top it with your favourite top coat and voila! These were definitely my favourite nails, they looked so cool when they were done!

Also recently I went to Sally Beauty Supply and bought Pure Acetone. It works SO much better than just nail polish remover and is also amazing when cleaning up your creation!

Thanks for reading,
Lots of love,
