Galaxy Nails

My last stab at galaxy nails has become my most re-pinned pin on Pinterest-- isn't that interesting?  Apparently galaxy nails are universally popular!  It'd been several months since I'd done any that I decided I should try again!

My technique was basically the same as last time-- black base, then sponge on different colors to create galaxies!  At the end I added some white and gold dots for stars, and a glitter top coat.  Some of the colors used: Julep Estelle, Diana, Charlotte, & Drew; Essie Beach Bum Blu and Good as Gold; and Sally Hansen White On.

Nail Art Nail-Off: Galaxy Nails

Hey guys! It's Lisl.  So Arden and I have been back and forth crazy traveling all summer and have not gotten a chance to do a proper Nail Art Nail-Off in a while.   But we did it; we did it y'all!  For this Nail Art Nail-Off, Arden decided to go a more traditional galaxy route, and I decided to try out Nailasaurus' pastel galaxy nails!

This manicure takes a lot of nail polish. Like a lot. See?

So, rather than type out, like, every single name of all of them, I'll try to mention as many as I can, and for the rest can just ask us in the comments if you're curious.

Anyway, I started out with a layer of Sally Hansen Bubblegum Pink and some glitter on top of that, because I wanted pink space nails.

Using a make-up sponge, I dabbed on about a million pastel colors of polish, and then some dark purple-sparkly (Zoya Aurora) in the corner for "depth," and then some gold sparkly (OPI Goldeneye) for sparkle.  After all the sponging, you pretty much could not see any of the pinkness or glitter, but that's ok.  One thing I've learned about galaxy nails is you pretty much have to roll with whatever is happening.
