the illustrated nails 2013 no:. 7 | intergalactic love affair

Hi

              *drum roll please* Yes finally, I got myself to share a nail art design. I am very sorry for the long wait, I just got my lappy back, but unfortunately I didn't got the files back, the internal memory was the one who totally crashed so I am starting in scratch. Oh rhymes! Hihi ...Maybe you guys are wondering why I got the time to update, well to tell you frankly I am not feeling well, I have fever since yesterday but, my head is starting to feel light like a balloon because of too much sleep so here I am, nag papasaway. I really do hope na I'll get better soon, I've been missing a lot of my classes especially my mandarin class! Psssh. I need to catch up on that subject or else it'll be a pain in my arsss! T_T

               So moving on, this design that I am going to share with you is obviously about the intro photo :D
yes, I've been planning to do this designfor quite a long time, but I haven't met the perfect base color, just now! Yepp, the "bahama blue: of OMG, if you haven't read my post about the nail paint, click HERE :DD

                     Okay, of course first gather all the things needed :)

• midnight-blue polish as base
• sponge
• white polish or acrylic paint
• yellow polish or acrylic paint
• red polish or acrylic paint
• blue polish or acrylic paint
• smallest dotting tool you own or a toothpick
• rainbow glitter polish
• and top coat :D

Ready, set, start.......

STEP 1:

- clean your nails and give them love by applying a nail hardener or a base coat.

- when your base coat is dry, get ready to paint your nails with your base color. Apply two coats :D

STEP 2:

- rip a peace of the sponge with a pair of tweezers.

- dab it on a white polish or acrylic paint and start dabbing it on your nails.

- create the shape you want for your nebula. it is really necessary to have a picture for reference :) this technique will always do you justice, trust me ;)

STEP 3:

- do the same step with a yellow polish or acrylic paint.

- make sure to tear a sponge for each color :)

STEP 4:

- again repeat step 2 for every color.

- make sure your colors are NOT too close to each other.

- dab the reds on the base color to emphasize the other color ;)

- and dab the blue close to the white parts like so...

STEP 5:

- dab white again on your preferred intensity.

- when all of your colors are dry, swipe a thin layer of your glitter polish on each nail, this will multiply the amount of stars on every nail! :DD 

- taking your dotting tool or a toothpick create some white stars, then stipple it fast, so that the 

stars are very tiny.

- remember 1 dip to the white polish is equal to 1 cluster of stars.

- also add one or more slightly bigger stars randomly like so.

- drench your cotton bud on nail polish remover and clean the edges of your nail

- then apply top coat to protect your design from chipping away ;)
