My Nails? Oh, They're Out of this World!

Since the Asteroid 2012 DA14 was passing close to the earth  and Russia had a meteor (or meteorite, they aren't sure yet) shatter and cause a devastating sonic boom today.... I figured that it was time to give Space Nails a try! They were surprisingly very easy and a lot of fun. I will definitely give them a try again, mostly likely with a different color palate.

I started with a coat of dark blue polish as a base. After the blue had dried, I painted some white polish on a sponge and dabbed it on the nails in a random fashion. I used the same sponging technique with a dark purple, teal and neon green polish.

I dabbed on some little star / planet dots and waited for them to dry before adding a clear top coat. Since I don't have any fancy nail painting accessorizes, I used an old, empty, mechanical pencil to make the star / planetary dots. I dipped the end in a dollop of white polish and barely pressed for small dots and added a bit of pressure for larger ones.

Space nails, Nebula Nails, Galaxy Nails... I plan on calling them all of the above. Maybe I'll try adding a different type of star next time.

Let me know how they work for you, when you decide to make them!
