Galaxy Nails!

I have really wanted to try out the ombre technique on my nails for ages which is basically when you blend two or more colours to get a gradation effect. So, I thought I'd do this to achieve a galaxy/cosmic style look.

The nail varnishes I used ranged from a really dark green to a royal blue to a deep purple. I blended them together in a vertical manner but I guess you could even do this in a swirly style to make it seem more like galaxy.

The products I used were:

-Collection Hot Looks in '24 Shameless'

-Sally Hansen HD in '18 DVD'
-Collection Lasting Colour in '6 Purple Rain'




Although I used shimmery nail varnishes, I added on a thin coat of gold glitter just to make it extra sparkly. The nails will be quite rough from the blending so you have to put on a good layer of clear top coat. It can also get quite messy so I found it helpful to clean up the edges of my nails with a cotton bud stick dipped in nail polish remover.
This is what it looked like at the end....

Show Off

I bought this nail polish by Collection a while ago and I forgot how much I loved this colour. It's from their Hot Looks range and it's in the colour 23 Show Off. This is a really gorgeous metallic blue. I love these nail polished because they have a nicely sized brush, they're always really pigmented so one coat is enough, they're really cheap and they dry in 60 seconds!

The nail art I did with this, is kind of aztec-style. As you can see below, I added different kinds of black and gold detail:

Notebook Nails

So this can basically be done by painting a white base coat and then adding blue horizontal stripes to be the lined paper and a red vertical stripe for the margin. You can then add some doodling as you would on a notebook. I did mine in black, but you can use any colour. 

You could just leave is like this for a 'sailor' style

As you can see, on each nail I wrote my name, a question mark, a star, a heart and a smiley face :)

Its a bit late now but these nails would also be good for back to school.
