Galaxy nails How-to

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
