Galaxy Nails

So I've seen gradient and galaxy nails a lot and thought that the galaxy nails looked amazing.
They look so arty and impressive but it's incredibly easy to do, there are tutorials everywhere which like gazillions of different colour combos. I actually have a pair of cosmo print leggings from New Look so I drew inspiration from them.





The colours I used was a Barry M black base, and then I just randomly sponged on Retro Blue, White, Berry Ice Cream and Cyan Blue from Barry M and also a shimmery turquoise with no name by Miss Sporty and then just a coat of Servin' Up Sparkle by OPI.

My favourite marble nails!

This was the third time I'd had a crack at marble nails and they just turned out so awesome. Thought I'd go for a blue theme as I have an assortment, but then the silver jumped out at me and thought that'd make it sweet.



The colours are all Barry M. Foil Effects Silver, Indigo, Cobalt Blue and Cyan.
 

Leopard print nails.

I just looooove leopard print, and I've seen many leopard print stickers and stencils, so I thought I'd try it without any of that.

It was a bit tricky, as I don't have anything like dotting tools so I just used the end of a kirby grip for this, and my black was really dried up so it was hard to dot on.





The colour I used for the base was an old gold I have floating about, the name has been rubbed off, I think it's possibly my mums. And for the spots I used Barry M in Mushroom and an NYC nail varnish in black.

I said it was tricky, but it wasn't really, only because of my crap nail varnish, but I'd recommend trying it because it looks so cool.
