This is now my third attempt at colored galaxy nails – and I think they came out MUCH better than my previous attempts (which you can see here and here). The only real difference in my approach was to use a make-up sponge instead of a kitchen sponge and to use even thinner and lighter layers, and tons more colors for added dimension.
I really broke out ALL the pinks for this design – I think I used about eight different shades of pink in the end! But pink being my favorite color, this is probably only one-third of my collection of pinks and reds. To be honest I’m still not 100% happy with my galaxy nails yet, but each try is getting better and that’s not bad. I wonder what color I will try next…?
Then because I can’t leave well enough alone, this happened… I used Pure Ice’s “Speechless” to create the lines. I did this just for line practice using a stripping brush. But I kinda like how it came out.

Oh pink galaxies! Gorgeous!
I did a galaxy mani once and I totally loved it, it’s a brilliant design : )
And I actually really like those pink stripes you added!
Thank you so much! I think I want to try purple over black next time.
