Hi

I was just wondering if anyone has given this trend a go, and if so how did you do it?

Think I'm going to give It a whirl after my holidays.

Also, attach piccys :) xxx
 
Yeah I really like it. Simple and effective! X
 
Been looking at loads of pics of these over last few days and going it a go at the weekend, looks fun tho think it looks easier than it going to be lol
 
I love galaxy nails..I think it's one of my favourite, if not my favourite nail designs I've done so far. And it IS easy peasy :)
 
For all of you Galaxy Lovers...I just stumbled on a cute simple tutorial to add to this collection of galaxy nails! Hope You like it!:D

I must be really out of touch with fashion trends because I've never heard of these before!! They're absolutely beautiful though, my 16 year old daughter has just had a look and she wants me to do them on her!

I'm contemplating giving them a go in Shellac/additives. It would be a shame to put the time and effort into doing them in normal polish and have them chipping after a couple of days.

I think they would look great on toes, and I wonder if it would work if you get some silver holographic foil, and press small dots of it on with a toothpick to make some really shiny stars?
 
I'm going to try it on gellux later and I've just done some black gel nails to try some powders, think it should look good.
 
Well doing my 1st as daughter saw them on fb and came rushing downstairs saying I want those on my thumbs please before I go out, so doing some now

And pic below is in gel (cuccio pronto I norm use for Swarovski toes)

Lovely!! I think they look amazing!!
 
I'm reluctant to post this as I know they're not good enough..but it was my first try and I know needs to be done now to improve it..ie softer stars, more neatly designed north stars.

Just to show you them done in shellac ...:o

There are loads of tutorials on YouTube & Instagram. Going to have a go later on. I don't offer gelish/shellac though so doubt they will last long :( xx

The colours behind look amazing, I used the pin type dotting tool for mine and a coat of glitter polish :) xx

Thanks hun..yeah I used a tooth pick but still wasnt small enough =/ maybe not as much polish on it and a lighter touch might help.
 
Thumbs I just did for my daughter, pic taken with a flash
