- G littery Galaxy Nail s -





On e of t he best things about this ong oing challenge is all the new things that I am learning ! I have always been a fan of Galaxy nails, but I honestly had no idea that they were so easy!

Polishes used: Orly - Liquid Vinyl & Sweet Peacock, China Glaze - Laced Up, White On White, Fairy Dust & Techno, OPI - I Have A Herring Problem

Th is was spectacularly easy to create! The only additional tools I used to create this look were a makeup wedge and a small dotting tool.





While I was working on this design, one of the things that I learned is that you will definitely have bet ter luck with wet makeup wedge than with a dry one. If the sponge is too dry, you may end up with tiny sponge p ieces on your nails, which are a pain to pick off!





The first step is to pain t the nails with one coat of black polish. Once dry, I used the wet makeup wedge to begin sponging on a very tiny a mount of the bl ue polish in random areas.



There is no need to wait for the bl ue polish to d ry, just go ahead and sponge on a tiny amount of lighter blue/gray polish over the f irst . You want to keep a ligh t hand with this, or you will cover your original sp lotches.





Now it's time to add the pink. You want barel y any polish at all on your wet sponge for this, it's only meant to give your galaxy a hint of pink.





On ce all the polish is dry, it's time to add the sparkle. This is where the ma gic really happens, and each nail be gins to look l ike a real galaxy ! I used a very thin layer of fairy dust and was amazed a t how good it looked. I also hand placed the glitter f rom Techo in random areas to look like bright stars in the night s ky . I finished off by using my smallest dotting tool dipped in white polish to add one or two randomly placed VERY tiny dots to each nail, which gave a bit more dimension to the finished look.
