I did these to compliment my Away Team nails. I could use a bit of practice with perspective, but I think for a first try they came out pretty nicely.

I started with white nail pen, but it proved too shaky, so I switched to the tried and true, simply, easy flowing, acrylic paint.

Polishes Used:

Black - Orly #40484 Liquid Vinyl

White acrylic paint

Yup, I've gotten into Star Trek:TNG. I'm currently on season 3 marathoning my way through while doing my nails.

2nd coat Sally Hansen Insta-Dri #120 Chop Chop Chopper

This is my third attempt at galaxy nails and it is by far my best.  I recently got my order of MoYou nail stamping plates which included a sci-fi themed plate, and this was a good design to use to break them in!

I took pictures of them with a flash and one without and I couldn't decide which one I liked best.  So here's both!

You might remember that I've done these before, but I got very shitty cell phone pictures.  So here they are in natural light with a decent camera!
I did these for a wedding I went to.   I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you haven't gone out and bought these polishes and tried this yet, YOU MUST!  I promise you won't be disappointed.

Tools Used:
Make-up Sponge

Polishes Used (in order of application bottom to top):
#1 Black - Orly #40484 Liquid Vinyl
#2 Blue - China Glaze #1167 Want My Bawdy
#3 Blue Sparkle - China Glaze #857 Dorothy Who?
#4 Bright Blue Sparkle - Sinful Colors #1165 After Party

Okay, so they might not be actual lizards, but that's what they remind me of.  Deal with it! 
This was my first time using the correct size of glitter for the mosaic/scaly look.  It wasn't too terrible to do, but my neck sure was stiff after doing the first nail!
And a big thanks to my sister for finding the glitter at a dollar store!

Aaand I'm back!  It's been FOREVER since I've posted new nails, and for that I apologize.  I recently bought my first house and a week later I took a 4-day road trip to Dollywood (yes, that is Dolly Parton's amusement park and it was wonderful).  So needless to say, my nails haven't quite been my top priority as of late.  The day I bought the house, I quickly painted my nails with China Glaze Dorothy Who with a splash of Sinful Colors After Party on the tips.  It was a very bright sparkle with just a hint of a gradient and  that mani lasted TWO WEEKS before it was noticeably chipped!  I was amazed.  So to get back into the swing of things and to practice my mani for a friend's wedding in Des Moines this weekend, I did these wing-type nails.  

Fun Fact:  If you're going to replicate this mani, put the glitter on first and then paint the wings with a fine liner brush.

Tools Used:
Liner brush

Polishes Used:
Glitter - Sally Hansen #120 Diamonds
White - Sinful Colors #101 Snow Me White
Silver - Sally Hansen #220 Celeb City
Black - Orly Artistic Liner Black

I couldn't decide what to do with my nails on this lazy Sunday afternoon when my eyes drifted over to the salt & pepper shakers I brought back from Amsterdam and BOOM!  Inspiration!  It's quite fitting too since I've been missing Amsterdam as of late.  ...Now I just hope that the people at work don't think they are "XXX" porn nails.

Yes, the title is a bit lengthy, but how else would you describe these?  Well, I suppose "striking" would also work.

There's a mini-tutorial below.

Go Go, Mini Tutorial!
Step 1: Paint 2 coats of black
Step 2: 2 Paint a matte top coat
Step 3: Carefully dab your blue glitter on to create the half-moons (I used 2 different blue glitters)

Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy!

It's been a while since I've done a water marble mani, so I figured I'd give it a go with a sparkly blue I just can't take my eyes off of.  Oh, and I also threw in some dots just for good measure.  Enjoy!
