Galaxy Nail Art
9:00:00 AM
Good morning polished world! I hope you all are having a great Monday. Are great Monday's possible Today I am bringing you a galaxy manicure straight from The Little Canvas vault. I have so many new manicures to show you, but I have decided to hold off on editing them until I get through some of these old manicures that I was so proud of at the time.
I can't begin to explain how much I loved these galaxies! I attempted galaxy nails last year but never posted them because I really wasn't pleased with the end result. I might have to look for a photo of those to post on Instagram as part of throwback Thursday, plus it would be neat to compare. One thing I do know is that this years attempt was much more sparkly and had more "depth" than the others.
Let's take a look.
Colors Used:
- Base
- Zoya - Storm
- Galaxies
- Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
- Ulta - Sun-Sational
- Sinful Colors - Cream Pink
- Color Club - Over the Moon
- Stars
- Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
- INM - Northern Lights
Neat, right???
To get the look, I started off with a base coat of Zoya Storm, the worlds greatest sparkly black polish. If you're going to do galaxy nails, this polish is a must have. When my base was dry, with the corner of a make up sponge, I dabbed white where I wanted the galaxy to be. With another corner of the sponge, I took yellow polish and dabbed it along the white polish. Then, with Cream Pink and another corner of the make up sponge, I dabbed the pink randomly around the galaxy. Finally, I took Over the Moon and sponged around the edge of the galaxy to blend the white into the black. I then took INM Northern Lights and added a quick top coat to add sparkly and blend the galaxy together.
When Northern Lights was dried, with my small and large dotting tool, I added a bunch of random stars. Once those were completely dried, I went through and added a plain shiny top coat.
What do you think? Liking the galaxies? Ever tried them yourself?
I'm so happy I decided to add the holo polish around the edges to blend the black into the galaxy. It really completed the look. Ahhh I should have taken a video of how sparkly they were. Maybe I'll do them again eventually.
Until next time, <3.
