I've been really intimidated to try Galaxy Nails because I could not understand, how mixing so many different seemingly un-complementary colours together could result in such a complex and beautiful mani.
Well, today's 31 Day Challenge theme of Galaxies is just the push I needed to finally try out this look and I'm pleasantly surprised that it was not horrifyingly difficult to achieve at all!
Sure, you have to select a good mix of colours, and you have to be judicious in how much of each colour you sponge on the nail but there are really no rules. Blue, green, yellow, white, I've seen all sorts of combinations for galaxy nails.
Here's my take:
This mani was achieved by sponging on the different colours over a scattered holo base, applying a coat of holo glitter on top and randomly dabbing on bigger pieces of glitter.
Here are the polishes I used:
BASE
piCture pOlish - Starry Night by Llarowe
COLOURS
China Glaze (1) Blue Bells Ring (2) Pelican Gray (3) Pure Elegance
GLITTERS
China Glaze - Fairy Dust, Essie - Set in Stones
I think this is definitely a look I'm going to be recreating in the future, with other colour combinations. It's fairly quick and glamourous nail art! :)
Super short post!
I'm rushing out the door to attend a wedding reception and these are my nails for today as well as for Day 14 of the 31 Day Challenge.
I used Bondi New York - Uptown Girl.
Oh my gosh, the formula is incredible! Almost a one-coater, super smooth and best of all, they come in square bottles! So much easier for storage!
The holographic glitter is China Glaze - Fairy Dust. It's so pretty and sparkly under the sun!
See you tomorrow!
'Hey Diddle Diddle' is a familiar nursery rhyme to many and it's certainly one of my childhood nursery rhymes. It's the inspiration behind my 'Animal Print' mani for Day 13 of the 31 Day Challenge.
I really should have chosen a stronger colour for the moon but I hope you still get the gist of my original intention.
I used OPI- My Vampire is Buff as the base for my nail art. It's a really nice textured beige that's a really good contrast against the black and white cow print.
The cow print is really simple to achieve. It's basically just random splotches of black polish over a white base.
Polishes used
Base for the nail art: OPI - My Vampire is Buff.
Base for the cow print: China Glaze - White on White
Cow print spots: a-england - Camelot
It's Day 12 of the 31 Day Challenge!
I didn't want to do straight up plain lines so I chose to do nail art today based off of zebras' stripes.
The one zebra character in film that sticks to memory is undoubtedly Marty from the movie Madagascar. He is the hapless but loveable bungling lead character.
As always I used China Glaze - White on White as my base.
Today's mani could also be included in tomorrow's 'Animal Prints' theme but I've got something else planned for that! ;)
Short post then it's back to working on the challenge!
Who else do you know wears a polka dot skirt with as much flair? While pairing it with a humongous bow tie to boot!
Coming to you, all the way from the happiest place on earth, Minnie Mouse!

ps. I was half tempted to name this post "It's Britney b****!" :P
Oh, it's a glorious day for Singapore. We have our first ever win at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival! "Ilo Ilo", by director Anthony Chen has won the Camera d'Or prize!
This was a quick celebratory mani done after I heard the news. It is a copy of the mani Zoey Deshanel originally did for the Golden Globes Awards 2013.
polishes used
Base: China Glaze - White on White
Gold: Essence - 121 Gold Fever
My lines are a little wonky, oops! I still hope you guys like this mani though. Here's to many more film awards to come!
