I love Galaxy Nails! I have always kind of been a space nut. I wanted to be an astronaut when I was little, said I was from Mars for a while and really looked up to my Uncle, Homer Stewart. He was a huge name in the Jet Propulsion Lab. He was part of the moon landing. He let me borrow Kodak pictures(originals) of the earth from the moon for a science fair project. I love space.
One of the things I love about galaxy nails is that there are so many different ways to do it. My first attempt was with a black base and the water color method of adding the other colors. I have also seen sponge effects, acrylic paint, and splatters(which I can't find the link to at the moment). But recently I found a mani that used powdered eye shadow. This is what I used for this one.
First I laid down 2 coats of Necromorphic, a franken of mine with a black base and tons of holographic glitter. Then I used a dotting tool and put on some sporadic white dots. Then one nail at a time I swiped on a coat of Quick dry top coat and sprinkled one color of eye shadow on the wet polish. Once all the nails were sprinkled, I waited for the polish to dry, tapped off the excess powder and washed my hands. Then, I did the whole process again. I did that for green, blue, gold, and red powder. Then one last coat of top coat and I was done. I found that something I would do differently is to press lightly on places with powder to make it stick better. Anyways, enough babbling, on to the nails!
Stay Tuned, tomorrow I am attempting a water marble. In my opinion it is the hardest technique to master and I still haven't yet. So let's see what happens.
Happy Manicures!
