30 Day Challenge Day Nineteen - GALAXY NAILS!

I've done Galaxy Nails so many times. I've called them Galaxy Nails, Space Nails, Nebula Nails, etc. And each time I do it, it isn't nearly as good as the time before for some reason so I'm really cheating here. But I'm making up for it in later days with challenges I would have NEVER tried before with nail art I never thought I could do. SO...

Here are my previous Galaxy Nails.

I couldn't begin to tell you how I did this as tutorials aren't my strong-suit. Basically I started with a base of black creme and layered a color-shifting topper. Then I sponged on various other polishes in random patterns. Topped with a clear-based glitter and a coat of Poshe.

Here's what I used: Chanel Lilac Sky, Pure Ice Heartbreaker, SoFlaJo Call Forth Dragons, Savvy Deja Blue, Pure Ice Black Rage, Nails Inc. Garrick Street, Orchid Starry Night, Pure Ice Super Star and Poshe Top Coat

NOTD: Space Nails

Sheila's Space Nails

Today's mani is my version Space Nails. I couldn't begin to tell you how I did this as tutorials aren't my strong-suit. Basically I started with a base of black creme and layered a color-shifting topper. Then I sponged on various other polishes in random patterns. Topped with a clear-based glitter and a coat of Poshe.

Here's what I used.

Chanel Lilac Sky, Pure Ice Heartbreaker, SoFlaJo Call Forth Dragons,
Savvy Deja Blue, Pure Ice Black Rage, Nails Inc. Garrick Street,
Orchid Starry Night, Pure Ice Super Star and Poshe Top Coat

The fun thing about a Space mani is that there really isn't a right or wrong. However YOU want it to look is the only "right" way.  Play around and HAVE FUN, which, after all, is the whole point.

Have you done space nails/"nebula" nails? If so, post them on my page so we can all ogle them!! ---> Pointless Cafe Facebook Page.  Also, link to any of your tutorials or your favorite tutorials by others!

Lazy-Person's Space Nails

I've tried Space Nails before and they were alright. Not nearly as good as I've seen some people do though. And for the trouble, I wasn't as impressed with my results as I felt I should have been for all that. So today, I did a quick layer of Orchid Starry Night over the Dior Perfecto I was wearing before I headed out to run errands I and WOW!  It's still not exactly as good as the others I've seen, but it was at least as good, or maybe better than my prior attempt.

This is one coat of Orchid Starry Night over Dior Perfecto.

I'll just let the photos do the convincing.
