Everything galaxy!

My love for galaxy nails burns brightly still. It is my second time doing these and I am still amazed at how easy it is to get little pieces of space on your nails. Very picture heavy post today (galaxy nails are just really photogenic), plus tutorial!
This is one design that I can do perfectly well with my non-dominant left hand, so I decided to switch it up and have my right hand be more detailed for once. On my left hand, I did a little "big bang" accent nail. Although the shape is a little off, I still enjoy the idea.

Polishes:
Left to right: China Glaze "For Audrey", OPI "No Room For the Blues", Joe Fresh "Teal", American Apparel "Peacock", "Dynasty", Zoya "Reagan"
Left to right: Rimmel "Midnight Blue", Deborah Lippmann "Edge of Glory", Sally Hansen "White On", Wet n' Wild "Kaleidoscope"
Materials:
  • makeup sponge cut into small pieces 
  • toothpick
  • Optional: tweezers to hold your sponge pieces
Directions:
Start off with two coats of a dark navy blue. When choosing your colours, look at pictures for reference.
Add some sparkles for extra cosmic goodness. Finished!
I just can't stop staring when I have these on. I daresay these look even better the second time around. Same colours, but better technique I suppose.
Old picture for reference
I used the same sponging technique on a pair of cheap, black canvas shoes, and I adore them.
Whew, that's all I have today. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial! Have you tried galaxy nails yet?
