Nail Art: Galaxy Nails

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...STAR WARS

Just kidding! Although these nails do look like something the Millennium Falcon would have encountered up there in outer space. 

Galaxy print is everywhere at the moment and I took inspiration from fabric prints on various dresses/bandeaus/leggings I have seen whilst browsing the internet at work. Initially, I thought these were going to be an absolute bitch to create, but they were surprisingly simple. So read on if you want these nails...

First off you'll need 3 tools, which most of you should have lying around the house...

Cocktail sticks/toothpicks, tweezers and foundation sponge broken up into small pieces.

The polishes I used:

MUA nail varnish in shade 2 - Black

Saffron London nail polish in shade 11 - White

Barry M nail paint in NP134 yellow (no longer available)

Collection 2000 Hot looks in shade 46 - Fruit Loop

w7 nail polish in neon Blue

Technic nail varnish in Carnival (see below)

(multi-coloured glitter...*sigh*)

I decided for this tutorial, as it's a bit more tricky, that I'd create a step by step picture guide to demonstrate how I achieved this look.

1. Start with a good base coat and paint your nails black

2. Pick up a piece of foundation sponge with the tweezers and dip it in white polish. 
Dab some off, you want to be sparing, and map out your nebula

3. Add yellow polish using the same sponge method to the inside of the nebula

4. Again with the sponge add a peachy pink in the very middle

5. Mix a blue polish with a drop of black or use navy to go around the edges of the 
nebula, blending it into the black.

6. Use a cocktail stick dipped in white polish to create clusters of stars in various 
places on the nail. Also add a couple of larger stars on each nail

7. Use a multi-glitter or fine glitter polish with a clear  base to give the illusion 
of more stars

8. Finish with a good top coat and voila!

Easy galaxy nails in 8 simple steps!

Happy polishing <3
