Galaxy Nails!

One of the nail designs I've been seeing around that I really really wanted to try is 'galaxy' nails. I was a bit unsure of how to do it and didn't really have a proper sponge but this is what I ended up with. Next time I'd like to try to get some lighter colours in there as well for more contrast.


You can see on the pinky finger that I left a fingerprint on it - this took forever to dry! It had been on for an hour when I went to bed and was perfect, and woke up with a fingerprint that I must have done in my sleep. :(

Anyway, I really like the way it looked!

First Attempt at Stamping.

Been a while since I've posted - time has been getting away from me a bit haha. I have a few new nail shots though, so I'll be posting them over the next few days. 


This was my first attempt at stamping. It's definitely not perfect but it was fun to do and I love how it looks!

Polishes Used
Ulta3 - Pacific Fever
Ulta3 - Burgandy

I used the M64 plate from Born Pretty Store for the stamped design. So far I've found them to be pretty good! My one nitpick is the designs are too narrow for a couple of my fingers so I end up missing the design a little around the edges of my nails. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who notices that in real life though, so I'm trying not to fret on it too much. xD
