31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 19 (Galaxy Nails)

Ok readers, I spent over three hours on this manicure and used 13 different colors, so this post is going to be kind of long and picture heavy in comparison to some of my latest posts. It took a lot of practice and a lot of messing around with the different colors in order to get nails that looked something like a real galaxy. And if you were wondering, yes; it is as difficult as it sounds. I started with a black base, then sponged on the other colors that you are about to see in different combinations until it looked the way I wanted it to, then I added extra "close-up stars" with dotting tools. This particular day of the challenge had me stressed out from the very beginning, so I am happy that it is done, and I'm actually pretty proud of the results! Let's take a look shall we? enjoy :)


PS: I couldn't label all of the colors I used in this post because I can only use 20 labels per post, so the brands of the polishes are labeled instead. sorry :/


First of all, I'm going to give you a break-down of all the colors I used.
