NOTD | Galaxy Nails



Hey guys,
Bringing you a little NOTD today!
 
I haven't done an NOTD for what seems like agesss, although I have had my nails every colour under the sun lately! & after watching my lovely flat mate Rach do her nails in galaxy print yesterday I just had to have a go!
 
I wish I had a photo of Rach's nails to show you, hers have got orange tones running through too (of which I did try at first) but because I couldn't find a sponge anywhere!? - I couldn't blend the colours together very well.



 
The polishes I used were;
 MUA - Plum Noir (base)
Rimmel Lasting Finish - Azure (Win this in my giveaway)
Models Own - Show Stopper
 
Okay so basically to recreate this you will need a black or purple base, then using a sponge (or tissue if you can't find a sponge) dab your nails with the blue and blend well. Finally add a blob of fine glitter polish on the nail and blend that over
 (you don't want a tonne of glitter on there though, other wise it'll look a little bit too busy)
 
- Adding a pink tone, orange and even a few little pieces of larger glitter look great too (I will get round to doing a better example soon!! - Promise)

I would definitely recommend doing this with a sponge rather than tissue though.. The blending is a lot easier and the results are generally better. But for my first proper attempt I think this is quite effective!
- Like omg, I have the galaxy in my hands!!
 
Have you tried this before?
I would love to see your galaxy nails if you have, please leave URLs!
