Galaxy Nails

Here it is as promised, a tutorial on how to do Galaxy nails.  In case you couldn't guess from the name, this nail art is inspired by the stars.


For this nail art design, you will need the following:

black polish
white polish
dark blue or dark purple polish
gold polish
copper polish (optional)
silver glitter polish
makeup sponge
water

1.  First of all, paint a base coat on your nails. Follow by painting a black base. Make sure your polish is completely dry.  

2.  When polish is completely dry, take your makeup sponge and dip it in water. Squeeze out most of the moisture.  Paint thin line of white polish on makeup sponge.

3.  Dab makeup sponge on paper towel several times. Then, dab on your nail. Do not cover entire nail, just a small portion.


4.  Take makeup sponge and paint over white polish with copper polish. Again dab onto nail in center of white polish. Do not cover entire white portion.  Repeat with gold polish


5.  Dab around edges of "galaxy" with blue polish to soften edges and blend into black.  

6.  (Optional) use white dotter tool to make small stars with white polish.

7.  Finish with layer of silver glitter and top with top coat.  




Do you think you will try this trend? It looks way cooler in person!

I'm back!!

Hello everyone!

Its been quite a while since my last blog post, and I know that I totally missed the past two weeks nail art themes! Thats because this past month has been super crazy because Steve and I got ENGAGED!!  So, instead of doing my typical nail art, I simply painted my nails a classic color because I didn't want any nail art to take away attention from my beautiful ring!

In the next few days I will be playing catch-up to show you a "galaxy nail" tutorial, but for now check out my color pick to show off my engagement ring!


This color is Revlon but I can't find the bottle to remember what shade
