New February Challenge from Erica's Nails & More : GALAXY NAILS

I have been so excited to start this challenge! I especially enjoy that it is not an everyday of the month challenge. Those are so unrealistic to keep up with (no offense to anybody) but maybe it's just me?? So for our first Nail Challenge of February we are doing Galaxy Nails. I have seen many beautiful types of galaxy nails, but never thought to attempt them myself. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of it and how they turned out!! I will definitely be doing these again.

I would like to give a shout out to Erica over at Erica's Nails & More who has made this challenge possible. Please give her blog or Facebook page a look. Her nails always look amazing!

What I used for this mani:
Base Coat of Nail Magic Strengthener
One Coat of Klean Color's Metallic Black
Sponged on China Glaze's White on White
Sponged on China Glaze's Splish Splash (? I'll double check)
Sponged on Klean Color's Metallic Fuchsia
China Glaze's Make a Spectacle around the Metallic Fuchsia
Dotting tool (2 Sizes), I dotted on China Glaze's White on White
Top Coated with Seche Vite

Well without further ado......here are my GALAXY NAILS......




Thanks for looking!

      Thanks! I found that little frame at Walmart for 57 cents and couldn't pass it up.

    It's amazing how galaxy nails look so involved when you see pictures of them, but then when you go and actually do it, it's so much easier than it looked :)
    And I'm with Amber, I love your sign/picture frame :D

      Erica, I'm glad they were the first challenge. I had never done them before and may not have attempted them otherwise. I'm glad you liked the sign :)

      Patricia, Thanks! I seem to be partial to purples and blues. I love the fact that Galaxy Nails can be done so many different ways!
