Primary Galaxy Nails

Hello there guys!! Hope life is treating you well right now, this is my 400th post!! Haha I'm swamped with work but otherwise I'm content, I've written a lot of posts too, to be scheduled :) Today's nail art is a good one, I LOVE IT!! I'm so happy when I manage to paint something like this, I feel proud. This is definitely the best galaxy manicure I've ever done (ok the competition wasn't that strong), but the great thing is I had no confidence whatsoever in this design cause things were going wrong, but it ended up awesome. Those are the best manicures.

I called this a "primary" galaxy cause of the primary colours used, my friend said it had a Nyan cat vibe (um nail art idea!!), and of course I like that!! I don't know why I love this so much but it's funky and pretty, maybe that's it. Also I do love galaxy manicures, my life needs more. Glitter makes galaxies, and I love glitter, another reason to love this. Oo and red, yellow, green and blue together is my favourite colour combination, that's probably another reason :)

I got my sponges and got to work, I started with white so the colours would show up better on top. Then I went mental with sponging on the different colours making sure no colour was overwhelming the other which is easier said than done. After I felt like I'd achieved the right balance (which required a lot of going back with certain colours and completely covering others), I dabbed on various glitter polishes with the brushes. I used a black and white glitter for the stars (which has a weird edgy feel that I love). Finally I got a toothpick and freehanded some stars to complete the look.

Dark Blues: H&M - Blue My Mind (base polish), OPI - Get Your Number, Rimmel - Azure and Essie - Lots of Lux
Blues: Revlon - Dreamer and Barry M - Blueberry Ice Cream
Green: Max Factor - Cool Jade
Dark Green: OPI - Jade Is The New Black
Yellow: Ciate - Loop The Loop
Red: OPI - Jinx
Teal glitter: Barry M - Aqua Glitter
Gold and purple glitter in blue base: w7 - Mosaic
Black and white glitter: L'Oreal Color Riche - Confetti
White: Barry M - Matt White with Barry M - Lady over it
All the glitter really added a LOT to the design, glitter was made for galaxies. I was actually really picky about which glitter polishes I was going to use, cause I knew which glitter would give what look. I sound crazy, but I got a design I love so sometimes craziness is worth it (sometimes).

Thank you very much for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day!! :D
