Nice Things To List: galaxy

Day 19 of the 31 days challenge!

Today's prompt is all about galaxies! I first created a galaxy base on all my nails. I had a coat of black polish. Let it dry then pulled pieces of sponge and dabbed into white polish. Then I lightly dabbed the white polish over where I wanted colors to be.

After leaving it to dry for a bit then I added in the colors by applying it to the torn sponge. I used Sinful Colors "Verbena", Orly "Beach Cruiser" and Kure Bazaar "Turkoise". I also added some ILNP "Sirene" over the black spaces. I added some sparkle with China Glaze "Fairy Dust" and let it dry.

I used Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" to create dots and a star shape design on my pointer and pinky. For the others, I did some simple drips from the cuticle using a dotting tool and then a brush to connect the drips. I also added some white dots around too.

I then of course added a matte top coat, and boy did it turn out well too! "Fairy Dust" did not lose it's sparkle to the matte top coat, not bad! Here is a macro shot :D

Pretty pleased with my galaxy skills LOL but maybe not on my drips tho, looks kinda weird to me :'D

It has come to the last challenge of the #glamnailschallenge, and the prompt for today is GALAXY! I was inspired by the ever so talented Tamra of IG@ohmygoshpolish and in particular this mani which she also did a video tutorial on.

I followed her tutorial and this is my outcome :P

For my pointer and pinky finger I had two coats of piCture pOlish - Cosmos and then one coat of Pretty Serious - Twinkling Lights. For my middle and ring finger I had two coats of L.A. Colors - 63 and then did my water marble over it.

I don't know if my water marble pattern looks like a galaxy or not :P So I also drew on some white stars and dots together with some of the copper glitter from Twinkling Lights that I placed individually over the water marble.

As for the orange-yellow spots I mixed Fired Up and I Can't Cope-acabana to get a mix of orange and yellow and used a dotting tool to create it.

As for the water marble I used these polishes pictured. I'll just list them down for your reference :)
Sally Hansen - Fired Up, Sally Hansen - Dive In, a-England - Camelot, Rimmel London - Simply Sizzling, OPI - I Can't Cope-acabana, China Glaze - Fairy Dust, piCture pOlish - Cosmos, L.A. Colors - 63.
I was initially quite scared I would screw up on the water marble part, but like what Tamra always says, there's no right or wrong!

Hi there readers! Today's mani is based on galaxies, whooooo~ First of all, let me start off with saying that I did try this mani a long time ago but failed horribly, hence I gave up (like I did with water marbling).

However, this 31 day challenge gave me the opportunity and motivation to try out galaxy nail art again. I am proud to say, that I succeeded! YAY! I was really genuinely happy, HAHA! Look at the end result:

I think what I did right this time was that I teared up my make up sponge instead of just applying polish onto the original sponge.

Firstly, I painted two coats of a dark navy blue with pretty silver glints (Seventeen - Navy Glint). Then I used the teared up sponge and white polish to create shapes of the nebula.

After which, I went in to cover the white spaces with yellow, blue and pink. I used OPI - I Just Can't Cope-acabana, L.A. Colors - 63 and L.A. Colors - 11, respectively.

Next, I was looking at my nail polish rack and my eyes set on F.U.N. Lacquer's Anna (swatch here). I then thought, why not include this awesome holographic blue-purple sheen to spice up the galaxy? I then sponged on some of Anna, and boy was there such a huge difference! Go back up to the mani and if you see any holo or purple sheen, it's Anna!

After that, I drew on some stars and dots with white acrylic paint. Lastly, I topped all with China Glaze - Fairy Dust.

Pictured below are the polishes used in this mani! I didn't include the white polish, but if you want to know, I use Flormar's 370 (:
