31 day challenge - Day 19 - Galaxies!

I love doing the galaxy look as there are so many different colour combos/patterns you can use and the result looks cool every time! It also makes me think of things like Star Trek or Star Wars every time too!

Galaxy nails tutorial!

Today I've got a tutorial to share with you of a great nail look - galaxies! It's really easy to do, all you need is the polish and a makeup sponge of some sort! Here's how to achieve this look!

Step 1: Start off with a basecoat to protect your nails from any staining. Here I've used a-England - The Knight (as always!)

Step 2: Paint all your nails black - two coats is best. I used a normal quick drying Rimmel for this.

Step 3: using your makeup sponge, sponge on a white, pink, purple and blue in a differentiating pattern on each nail to create the "nebula".

Step 4: When you're happy with the look, apply a holographic glitter on top to create the stars - here I used a Revlon polish.

Step 5: Apply a top coat and voila! Galaxy nails!

Here are all the polishes I used:

(From l-r: a-England - The Knight, Rimmel - Black, China Glaze - White on White + IV, OPI - You're Such a Budapest + Eurso Euro, Revlon - Holo glitter, Seche Vite)

Random nail art spam!

Sorry for the poor quality of these, the pictures were taken on my phone - I now plan to use my very lovely camera to take snaps from now on! Just thought I would share some random nail designs I've done on both myself and on my mum! Let me know if you like any!
