hello! these photos are of my first real try at doing freehand nail art. i used a tiny paint brush, a makeup sponge/wedge, an assortment of polish colors, and a shotglass of acetone. i first saw a photo of 'galaxy nails' or 'nebula nails' on a message board, and got REALLY excited, so i googled a tutorial. i was very disappointed to find only one half-ass tutorial that basically said, 'get a sponge and put these colors on your nails and you're done' - it had no mention of any kind of technique, so when i tried to use the tutorial, i failed. hard. instead, i removed it all and googled actual photos from space and did what i could. enjoy =)
even though my left hand turned out like a paint splattered canvas instead of anything resembling space, i like 'em a lot.
whoa whoa! those are awesome nails, so different! my nerdy side who loves constellations and the planetarium just squeeeeeed

WOW! Your nail art is absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteWell these are awesome, go you! How'd you do the ring finger, was that sponging or did you just paint it in?
