This is my entry into Copy that Copy Cat Nails nail art contest for her 1st year blog anniversary. The theme was "whats cookin?"
Its some important ingredients that go into making chocolate mousse and their measurements. The idea is when you join up the two hands you get how much of each ingredient you need in the recipe.
I did these on some fake nails I had around, because my nails are not looking all that great atm!

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 |
| 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 |
