YES! Finally I have done it, I've managed to create galaxy nails that I'm actually happy with. Ok, they're still not perfect, but so much better than past attempts!
I'm not 100% sure what I changed in this attempt, other than to try to simplify it a little. I also used a black glittery polish from Miss Sporty (it doesn't seem to have a name!) as the base colour which definitely helped. I then blended the colours on the sponge first and printed that onto my nails, rather than blending each colour individually. I stuck to as few polishes as possible (although I still used loads!) and a main colour scheme of blue, with just a touch of pink thrown in. This was the first time I added dots and crosses using a white nail art pen and I was really surprised how well this small touch brought it all together into 'galaxy' rather than just a load of colour splodges!
I don't have that much to say about these nails, as I'm sure you've all seen galaxy before. I will, however, encourage you to give them a go as they're great fun! It might take a couple of attempts to get right (as it did for us) but the results are awesome. This mani was so glittery and eye catching, plus it's something that's easy-ish to create on both hands as there's not much detailing involved!
Have you tried galaxy nails yet? We'd love to see your designs!
Love,
These look amazing! The colours work so well and I love the dots and crosses you added too! :)
