A few words
There are many many different ways of doing galaxy nails, this is just my take on it, its not perfect, but im working on it. It is VERY hard to mess up on this even though it looks a bit complicated (its not).
Use any colours that you like to personalize your galaxy.
Also this does take some time so take that into account before you start.

So what do I need?!
Nail polish colours: Extra handy stuff:
- Dark Blue (*essential) - piece of sponge (eyeshadow applicators are great)
- White (essential) - tweezers (not essential)
- Black (not essential, *or use in place of dark blue) - Pin/toothpick
- Dark Purple (essential)
- Lilac (not essential)
- Yellow (essential)
- Red (not essential)
- Glitter polish (not essential - but glitter always makes things better)
Now How do I do this??
 |
| Dark blue base/black base |
 |
| Using tweezers dip sponge (dont drown it!) in black and sponge around the edges/sides of nail |
 |
| Try leave an 'S' shape or diagonal line of blue in the middle |
 |
| Lightly sponge white in a diagonal line. Sponge dark purple just on the outside of the white like a border |
 |
| Sponge lilac between the dark purple and white to merge the border so it gives a blended effect. *If you only have one shade of purple this is fine you will just need to keep sponging to get the soft edges. |
 |
| Very lightly sponge some yellow into the middle area of white. Follow with a little bit of red just near the yellow |
 |
| Dip a pin into white and make some clusters of dots around the outside of your galaxy |
 |
| Using pin make some bigger dots/stars |
 |
| Get a good amount of glitter polish |
 |
| Glitter all over nails. Dab the brush with the glitter polish instead of stroking motions like with regular nail polish. This lets you get the most glitter on your nail |
