Doctor Who's Galaxy Nail Art

At the beginning of the month, I shared the nail art I wore to the Doctor Who premiere.  If you missed it, you can find it HERE.  Today I am showing you what Bria wore.  This is for the #31DC2014 prompt "galaxies".


This is my first attempt at galaxy nail art.  I always have been a little nervous about it.  I shouldn't have been.


I started with a base of Pahlish Eleven's Hour Is Over Now, a dark grey filled with flakies and some silver glitter.  It is the perfect base for this.  Not too dark, but with interest all on its own.


Next I sponged it with LynBDesigns Oobleck (green), LynBDesigns Tesalecta's Kiss (pink) and INLP Peace (purple).  I topped it all off with Orly Shine On Crazy Diamond, a holo glitter.


I created decals with MJ XII, Mentality Tough (blue) Cult Nails New Day (yellow).


I took these pics several days after I painted them, so there is a little bit of cuticle growth.


Bria loved this, so she wanted to make sure that that I took a mood stone.  I even ended up liking it., although I still can see areas of improvement.  It was so easy, I will definitely be trying it again!

Thanks for looking and commenting!

    1. I purchased the plate just for this image, but have used others. Well worth the money!
