Guest Post from The Nailasaurus - Pastel Galaxy

My second guest poster is Sammy from The Nailasaurus. I'm sure most of you, if not all of you, are familiar with Sammy's blog already! The Nailasaurus was one of my first inspirations when I started out blogging and still is today. Sammy is a master of studs, stamping, striping tape, gradients and tutorials, amongst many other things. I'm always excited to see a new post from her in my feed! Recently she's been doing amazing galaxy nail art and she's created some just for my blog which I'm very happy about!

Hello readers of Brit Nails. First off I have to say a big thanks to Allie for inviting me to post for her and putting her trust in me today! I’ve decided to show off some pastel(ish) galaxy nails. I’ve been completely obsessed with this style of nail art recently. The bright colours make a nice change from the traditional dark and mysterious galaxy nails, especially in the summer months. My obsession combined with how easy this nail art is makes it one of my go-to styles when I’m short on time or inspiration.

Galaxy Nails 2.0

Hi! It's been a very long time since I've done galaxy nails, and since today is my Birthday I thought it'd make a nice Birthday mani (I hate the word mani, I really do) You can see my last attempt at this (which was also my first attempt) here. I think I've improved quite a lot, not only on the design but my pictures and nail shape too! 

The polishes I used are:

a-england Tristam (base)

Kiko Blue Spot

Illamasqua Poke

Illamasqua Nomad

Barry M Greenberry

Tristam was the perfect base because it already looks like a little galaxy all on its own! I drew on the stars with white acrylic paint and a dotting tool. I may add this to my list of tutorials to do.

More pictures ahead

Hello! Ugh, it's so cold here. My fingers and the end of my nose are freezing! All the cars have frozen over, too. Silly England. Anyway, Here we have my first attempt at a "Galaxy" mani. Or a Nebular mani, depending on your preferred word. I'm quite happy with it for a first try, but it could be better. I think I used a little too much black and I don't really like the yellow spots, but they're all things I can correct for next time.

Here's what I did:

Painted on a coat of OPI - Dating A Royal

Sponged on some Barry M - Matt White

Sponged on some Barry M - Cyan Blue over the white

Sponged on some OPI - Absolutely Alice on top of that

Sponged some Barry M - Black at the top and bottom.

Used a dotting tool to dot on some stars. 

It's really easy to do, I'm just hoping I like my next one more!
