Day 19: GALAXY Nails

I had never done galaxy nails before either, so I used Nail Art 101's Tutorial as a starting point. I started with two coats of Ulta - Blue For You. Then, I tore a small piece off of a makeup sponge. I used this piece of sponge to sponge on Pure Ice - Super Star in a diagonal pattern across my nails. 

Then, I sponged on Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - The Real Teal just outside of the white. I also added a little bit of Essie - Sexy Divide, Sinful Colors - Purple Diamond, and Essie - Borrowed & Blue. Then, I sponged on some Pure Ice - Black Rage in the corners, just as Nail Art's Tutorial directed. Finally, I used Milani Nail Art Polish - White Canvas to create white dots that look like stars. 

I like how they turned out before adding glitter (above), but then I decided to see what it would look like if I added some Claire's silver glitter from the Claire's Precious Metals set. 

Finally, I added Claire's - Glitter Top Coat to give me the look below! 

Here are all the polishes I used, in the order I used them.

Day 16: TRIBAL PRINT Nails

I kept putting these nails off, because I didn't really have any inspiration and I was wary that I could pull it off. Although I'm not a huge fan of the colors I used, I think they turned out alright. I completely copied Nailasaurus's design. I like the colors she used a lot more! I think mine have a very southwestern feel with the turquoise color, though. 


I started with two coats of Essie - Jazz. Then, I used Salon Perfect Nail Art Liner in black, OPI - Oh..To Be 25 Again!, Sinful Colors - Rise and Shine, and a fine-tip brush to create the design.
