Galaxy Nails

Im loving the massive nail art craze that is going around right now - people are getting so creative with it, and its such a cheap and easy way to brighten up an outfit.
I think WAH-NAILS are the kings of the nail art, with a small salon placed in Topshop Oxford Circus, they can paint pretty much anything you want on your nails. But with a starting price of £20 for a basic manicure with polish, I can hardly afford that on my student budget. :(

So instead I've tried alittle DIY and created the 'galaxy nail' trend on my own fingertips! Im surprised at how easy it was - which is a bonus as I'm a beginner with nail art!

What you need:
Black or navy nail varnish for the base.
Purple and Blue varnish (or any other similar colours which represent the galaxy!)
Clear glitter varnish for the stars.
Tissue and tweezers

 

• First up I painted my nails with a black polish and used two coats to ensure it was extra black.
 
• After the black dried, I dabbed the purple polish randomly on each nail and used a tissue (held securely by tweezers) and dabbed each nail. I found the more hap hazard I was; the better it looked.



• I repeated the same process, but this time with blue polish and dabbed it on top of the purple.



• I waited a couple of minutes for the blue coat to dry before I added the final layer of sparkles. Not only does it look like stars in the galaxy but it doubles up as a top coat to prevent the nail varnish from chipping!
• And Ta-Daaaa! My very own DIY galaxy nails. :)
