The theme for this month is "To Boldly Go..." which automatically makes me think of a galaxy manicure. I've done a few before and have always enjoyed them, but this is my first textured galaxy...
To create the galaxy effect I used a few Nicole by OPI shades including Be Ama-zing! (teal), Back in My Gloria Days... (purple duochrome), Light, Kim-era, Action! (appears green over black). I stamped with Pure Ice Silver Mercedes, using Cheeky plates CH45 and CH32. I have been looking for an excuse to use these little monster/aliens because they are so freaking adorable and finally got my chance...
For the white stars I sponged on a little bit of InDecisive Speckled White. I will show swatches of this sweet indie polish soon, but it was the perfect addition of stars. I always felt that I ruined my first galaxy attempt by making the white dot stars too big so this teeny white glitter was just perfection for a galaxy manicure...
I would love to know what you think of this manicure! Have you tried a galaxy manicure before?
Thanks for looking!

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! The textured polish really adds another dimension to the mani!
ReplyDeleteThis textured galaxy looks really cool! Even though I wonder how this would look like after layers of topcoat to make it smooth, I'll bet it looks really jelly like. I like how well the colors go together.
ReplyDeleteJust saw this on Cheeky's Facebook page! This looks amazing!!! You truly inspire me <3
ReplyDeleteI like the twist of adding texture to a galaxy mani!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your wonderful comments! I'm so glad that you like how this turned out. When I say that it was last minute, I mean that I didn't have it prepared ahead of time as I usually prefer. It was not meant that I spent only a few minutes on it :D
