Well...I am a little late with challenge this week. I should be showing you watermarble nails today but instead I have my galaxy nails from last week! Oops. But I will get caught up this week, I promise. Galaxy nails are great. They look complicated but are actually very easy to create. It is difficult to mess them up. Each year I say that I am going to do pastel galaxy nails for the challenge and each year I just end up doing traditional galaxy nails. Well...this year I actually did some pastel galaxy nails! They aren't as mesmerizing as traditional galaxy nails, in my opinion, but they are fun to look at nonetheless.
I started with a base of Zoya "Blu" then sponged on more Zoya colors until I got my desired effect. I used Neely, Cala, Jordan and Purity for the solid colors. Then I used Leia for a little pit of pink shimmer. I used Purity and a small detail brush to make the stars and though it needed a litte more sparkle. So I sponged on bits of opal glitters from Glam Polish "An Unexpected Journey" which completed the look. It is all topped off with a glossy top coat.
I am happy with the final results but I think overall it needed a little more contrast between the colors. I am sure I will attempt a pastel galaxy look again. Have you ever done a non-traditional galaxy look? Which type of galaxy nails do you like best?
Thanks for stopping by!

Ever since I saw the Nailasaurus making these pastel galaxy nails I wanted to paint them on my nails. And now? Was too afraid and did normal ones. ^^
