Here they are!

Here they are! Galaxy Nails have been on my list of nail things to try for ages. Seriously. I don't know why I never did them before now. They were pretty easy, and they look really nice. I'm hoping I don't have to take them off for a while. Maybe they'll last at least until the weekend.

For those who are wondering, you just paint down a base color (usually black, but I went with a metallic navy blue) and then sponge down different colors in random places. Then use a small paint brush and / or dotting tool for the stars. Most of the Galaxy Nails I've ever seen were really dark. Black as a base, then a lot of deep purples, reds and blues. I like the lighter colors. I'm not a fan of anything super dark on my nails, I've discovered.

Shaun had to correct me. He says these don't look like a galaxy. They look a like a nebula. Ok, so they're Nebula Nails, then. My bad. 😃

I finally sat down and did some galaxy nails tonight.

I finally sat down and did some galaxy nails tonight.  They have been on my "to do" list forEVER.  I think they turned out rather pretty.  They are not as dark as most of the ones I've seen, but I think I prefer that.  I recently saw a pastel version that was really nice, but it was too light for my tastes.  So, mine are kind of in between.  Photo tomorrow!  🙂

Btw, husbang has serious issues with the fact that they are not called "Nebula Nails."  First of all, that sounds much better.  Secondly, if you look up Galaxy vs. Nebula, Nebula fits better with the nail art that people are doing.  We just had to put that out there.
