This started out as something completely different in my mind, but this is what it blossomed into. There is a black sparkly background (not that you can really tell), then I splattered over it (using the drinking straw method) the orange, then red, and I finished it off with some white stitches.

After I posted my Star Trek nails to Facebook, I got an amazing suggestion to add Worf's baldric. So here it is! I taped off the area for the baldric, and used one of my Mash stamping plates for the chain pattern. Finished it up with a few minimalistic badges with a dotting tool, and voila! Worf'ed! Tools Used: Scotch tape Mash plate #41 Polishes Used: Dark - Sally Hansen X-treme Wear #22 Gunmetal Light - Sally Hansen X-treme Wear #220 Celeb City Yup, I've gotten into Star Trek:TNG. I'm currently on season 3 marathoning my way through while doing my nails. Here's my representation of the typical away team: Riker, Data, Geordie, Worf, an Dr. Crusher. Polishes Used: Red - Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #570 Right Said Red Gold - 1st coat Sally Hansen Insta-Dri #250 Lightening 2nd coat Sally Hansen Insta-Dri #120 Chop Chop Chopper Blue - Sally Hansen X-treme Wear #420 Pacific Blue Black - Orly #40484 Liquid Vinyl 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! Tools Used:

It was quite the spectacle. I picked up some bitching prints, saw some crazy (and lazy) cosplayers, oh, and I got my picture taken with Nathan Fillion! Obviously I had to paint my nails to match the occasion, and after watching the entire Firefly series while I was off work being sick, naturally I decided to do Firefly inspired nails. I had to keep it simple because I still was not feeling well. So, I ended up with a gradient of Jayne Cobb's hat and did a simple line drawing of said hat. This picture was also taken after a few days of wear. Tools Used:

I accomplished this look with a variety of blue acrylic paints and mixing up my own pinks, and a variety of liner brushes. I'm sure you could do this with nail polish if you have the right colors.

I decided that I was going to use my nail art pens for these since they are easier to control for straight lines, but I encountered a problem - the blue pen didn't show up on top of the black. To remedy this, I simply drew the lines first with my white nail pen, waited for it to dry, then colored them in with the bright blue. Boom, Tron nails. These pictures are pre-clean up. Also, I'm going to include pictures of both of my hands. Try to guess which is my dominant hand ;) Polishes Used:
