31 DAY CHALLENGE - DAY 19: GALAXY NAILS!!

Today's challenge is "galaxy nails," a style I'd not tried before.   In the end, I created two cosmic manis, one featuring a sponged palette of galactic colors ...

base color: OPI Roadhouse Blues; sponged galaxies: FingerPaints Hip Hip Hue-Ray, NYC Taxi Yellow Creme, Wet n Wild Root of All Evil; glitters: China Glaze Fairy Dust, The Hungry Asian Mumbling
And the other...a simple navy blue creme finished off with a starry top coat:

 OPI Roadhouse Blues with Nina Pro Holographic Topcoat



Colorful, time-consuming multiple-polish "galaxy"....

2001 A Space Odyssey or Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea?  Tough call
vs.

Super simple starry night sky...



I vote for the simple mani.  Yeah, until the old galactic skills improve, I'm going with this one.

Here's hoping you're having a great weekend, and that you'll join me in learning what Out of This World galaxy nails our co challengers have in store.

  1. Loved them both!!! I think the first one looks more cartoon-ey :) if that's even a word! - and the other one looks more glam

    1. Thanks, Mari! As far as my nails are concerned, I'm partial to the glam. Of course, I'm wearing sweatpants while glamming it up, but that's neither here nor there. LOL.

  2. I love them both, but I always tend to go toward simple for alot of looks. I love the holo glitter over blue. Very starry looking and chic!
