Galaxy Nails - Tutorial

So I have seen a ton of tutorials on how to create galaxy nails but I feel my tutorial is a bit easier to follow than some I've seen. No offense to any others of course, you all are amazing. Let me know what you all think So the following is a pictorial of how you can create your own galaxy nails at home.


Products Used: Sally Hansen-Thinking of Blue, Orly-Aqua Pixel, CG- For Audrey, Sinful Colors-Cinderella, Sinful Colors-White, Small brush-purchased at Sally's, and Q-tips
Paint your nails the base coat of your choice, with these I am going to do one plain galaxy nail and one drip effect galaxy nail.
Take your detailing brush and polish the area where you want your drips. I usually start with the drips first and work my way up.
Polish the inside your of your drip using the darkest color. I used the same detailing brush I used when painting on the drip.
Next you want to take a Q-tip and soak it in Acetone/polish remover, and dab it into a lighter polish. (here I used Sinful Colors- Cinderella). Then dab it onto your nail with a light hand until you create a the effect you want.
Then take another polish (here I used CG-For Audrey) using the Q-tip method by soaking and dabbing it into the polish and then dabbing onto your nail.
Here I used a really bright neon blue, I forgot to picture it and I forgot the name it...sorry I must have had a brain fart. But you do the q-tip method her too. See its really so far!!!!
Next I took Orly-Aqua Pixel, or any glitter polish you may have and my detailing brush and randomly made brush strokes in random places. On my drip nail I outlined the drip in glitter. Oh la la...
Last I used my detailing brush and white polish and painting stars, and used the end of my brush to dot on smaller stars! Finish with your favorite top coat, and BAM!!!! You have galaxy nails!!!!
