The WAH Nails Book of Downtown Girls
Galaxy nails are such a fun project! Using a mix of colours and a sponge, treat your nails like a palette mixer. Don’t worry about using fresh sponges for each nail – you’ll soon get an amazing mix of colours that will add to your design. The white base make the colours pop but if you want a more subtle Galaxy design you can omit this step. Try them! These nails are outta this world! (Sorry, we had to say it…)

Step 1
Paint your nails with the black base colour and allow it to dry.
-
Step 2
Paint white polish on your sponge. Dab the excess off on a paper towel and then lightly dab the sponge on the area you want to create the galaxy appearance on your nail. Go across each nail in different
directions. -
Step 3
Sponge on two colours per nail onto the white areas you have made. Make sure you overlap them with each other a little.
-
Step 4
With a striper create the cross shape over the sponged colours.
-
Step 5
Use your white nail art pen to create dots in the black areas to look like stars.
