Oooh look! It's a post!
And it's about nails again! 8D
But worry not, it's a good one. So good, in fact, that when I posted this tutorial on deviantART, it became one of my most popular works in mere days. I figured it wouldn't hurt to share it here as well. What is more, this technique can be used on basically anything — shoes, clothes, starships...nails are just one humble example.
Here's what you'll need to create your very own little piece of galaxy:
- Base coat
- Colour polish
- Top Coat
- Non-toxic acrylic paint
- Nail polish remover (NPR)
- Water
- Sponge
- Toothpicks
- Small fine brush
- Piece of cotton
- Palette (jar lid, piece of foil...)
- Nail file
A little remark about the photos in this tutorial: I took them on a short and gloomy winter afternoon with not the best of my set-ups, so please forgive the lighting. But hey, at least they are clickable for full size.
Now, let's begin!
1. Start with base coat to prevent staining and extend your mani's life. Apply polish of your choice — any colour and finish you like. I chose Orly La Playa, a navy blue creme that went opaque in one coat and is an old favourite of mine.
