Galaxies! This is the third time I've tried galaxy nails. The first I really dug them, I thought they were the bee knees but knew I could do better if I just kept practicing. The second time I failed miserably, some thing was just off. So I didn't try again for quite some time. This time I did a decent job but as soon as I was done I figured out a few things I could have done differently to make them a little bit better but regardless I still think they turned out pretty great!
Supplies used:
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jade Jump
Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Black Diamond
Nicole Let's Get Star-ted
Essie Blanc
Funky Fingers Riot (The only place I know of to get Funky Fingers is at FiveBelow)
Makeup Sponge
I have a little tip for you regarding glitter nail polish, like this Nicole one, where there is a main glitter you want on your fingers - like the star or a heart. It's rare they actually come out on the brush when you want them to, let alone where you want them to and when you just keep adding layers and layers trying to get the stars (or whatever shape) it will just make it hard for the polish to actually dry. So what I like to do is dump a little bit of the polish out on a paper plate (or any other disposable surface) and use a toothpick to pick up and place the glitter where I want it. So simple right?!
My favorite turned out to be my thumb. I love how it all came together. The only thing I'd change is that white area behind the star. I wish I could just hit "undo" sometimes when I was doing my nails. It'd save me so much time (and nail polish remover)
Hope you're having an awesome Sunday!
