Makeup Savvy Nail Challenge - Day 4 Galaxy Nails

I hesitated. Day 4 of the challenge is Galaxy Nails - the look that I've admired from afar, attempted twice and failed miserably. So, skip this? Yeah, honestly... I felt like skipping it. But the inner me says: do it! Come on, give it a go. You haven't try enough...

Thus, I took a look at my stash. I knew, I didn't have the right colours for galaxy nails. I guess I'll just have to make do with what I have and this is the outcome : 

NOTD - Galaxy Nails
NOTD - Galaxy Nails
NOTD - Galaxy Nails
NOTD - Galaxy Nails
NOTD - Galaxy Nails
NOTD - Galaxy Nails
NOTD - Galaxy Nails

I won't lie, I'm very happy with how it turn out. My first Galaxy Nails which actually succeeded! Yeay!! And I love them!! I guess partially is also because I've achieved this using Saran/Cling Wrap style. Haha!! That's because I didn't have any make up sponges.

    I love galaxy nails! They take quite a bit of time, but they're sooo worth it. What do you mean you don't have the right colours, these ones are perfect!

      Haha!! I love them too! Thank you, glad you liked them. But I think they're missing the extra pop of either a neonish orange or more of the bright in between orange and yellow type of colour. Galaxies nails are so much fun! Gonna try out different combos next time. :D

      Thank you! All trial and error. I love finding ways to use items that are already available in the house. Always a great way for new explorations :D

    These look amazing! I'd never have thought to use wrap, I went and pinched a kitchen sponge from my parents house to do mine lol :)

      Thank you :D Haha! I would too, but its too bad the only ones we had were those rough green ones which is not suitable for galaxy nails (in my opinion). That's why I decided to go ahead with wraps. ;)

    I really need to try the cling film method, it looks amazing!

      Thank you! Yes, do try it. But it could be rather hard to control the effect. Still fun, nonetheless! Check out ChitChatNails's tutorial post for some ideas, I used the similar method there.
