So let’s
get started! First you will need a dark blue polish for your base colour. I’m
using Orly Stone Cold. Two coats for an opaque colour. You can use a flat dark
blue but if it has some shimmer in it, then that would be perfect! I find blues
usually stain my nails so go ahead and apply a clear base coat before the blue.
Now that
you have the blue down, get a small piece of sponge. I found a foundation
sponge and cut little pieces off of this. Using a tweezer, clamp down your
piece of sponge and dip it into some gold coloured polish (I use a painter
palette for ease). The polish I used here was Milani Gold Lamé. You are
sponging on the colour in a diagonal line. This is what you should have.
Ok next
you repeat the process of sponging on the colour but this time using a copper
coloured polish and going slightly over the gold line on both sides. Don’t
fully sponge over the gold. I’m using L.A.Girl Metal polish in Copper Alloy.
So you
repeat the sponging again using a pink polish to overlap slightly on the copper
colour. I used China Glaze Naked (not shown) and then follow by L.A. Girl metal
polish in Obsidian, which is a metallic black.
So now
you’re all done with the sponging part. Super easy so far right? You have you
basic galaxy down but you can go ahead and spruce it up with add tiny white
dots if you like. If you don’t like the diagonal lines you can also sponge in
circles instead.
Apply a
top coat to seal in your design and you’re all done. I’m using Orly In a Snap
which is working really well since my Seche Vite got super thick on me. Let’s
see if this one will do the same halfway through the bottle.
So
that’s all folks! Hope you enjoyed my take on one of the latest nail design.
It’s really fun to be able to take something and make it your own. Until next
time and next nail trend!
Happy Galaxy!
