Galactic Nailart inspired by @cutepolish

So here's my very own version of +cutepolish's Galactic nailart tutorial. I love her You Tube blog by the way and it's definitely a must see for Nailart fantards like me. 

So basically I've realized I could do a bit of How To's here in my blog especially when it comes to how I do my nailart shenanigans --the cheapest way possible. No need for those pricey polishes and whatnots. In my opinion, it all ends up the same anyway. You just have to be very patient and extra artsy to get these things beautifully done. 

I decided to use whatever I have in my polish kit. I have this whole set of Caronia nailpolish and here are some which I used for this particular design. Black Velvet, White Satin, Dare Frosted, Colorless,also Bobbie's The Big Bang! ( perfect for the glitter effect), an unused dishwashing sponge (cheaper than makeup sponge) and a dotting tool (but a toothpick will do.)

First is to make sure that your nailbeds are clean. I used this Orogold nail care set (Thanks to Ate Janet btw) to get rid of any unnecessary dirt and make my nails good as new before I put on some heavy nailpolish and nailart.

Now to protect my natural nailbeds, I put some natural polish first then afterwards I used the Caronia Black Velvet polish as my base. It should look like this...

Then use a sponge and dip the pointed part in Caronia White Satin polish.

I used a new dishwashing sponge and cut it in my desired shape, preferably smaller and then dabbed it on each of my nails to create the illusion of a "Nebula". 

Afterwards, I dabbed some Caronia Dare frosted polish in the middle of my Nebula just by using the tip of the polish's brush and it should look something like this... (wait I just realized that I'm using mostly Caronia products so I guess I could use a lil help here. *coughs* Sponsor *coughs*. Lol

Yes I know it's quite messy at first because of the sponge that  I used but we'll deal with that later on. ;)

Now, top it off with The Big Bang! polish which will allow you to have small stars around the Nebula instantly.

Almost done! Next is to create a define drawing of a star using again the White Satin polish. But this time with the help of a dotting tool. Or if you don't have one, a toothpick will definitely do the trick!

Top if off with a colorless polish to seal the art. Clean the excess on each side  using a Q-tip and there you go, a galactic nailart for the whole world to see. :)
