NOTD - Beam Me Up, Scotty!

 I really love all the 'galaxy nails' going around at the moment. Everyone seems to have their own take, but they're all so beautiful to look at! My version is pretty darn simple, a blue sponged gradient with holo glitter stars...




Black Base - Barry M 'Black'
Dark Blue - Barry M 'Cobalt'
Medium Blue - Barry M 'Cyan'
Pale Blue - Barry M 'Turquoise'
Fine Glitter - Model's Own 'Juicy Jules'
Chunky Glitter - Barry M 'Hologram'

PRETTY SPARKLES! I'm such a magpie lately. I think I'll do these again at some point but try and get some nebula swirls and shooting stars going on.

Also, I feel like I should explain why I haven't been blogging much lately. Basically, I'm busy as heck clearing out and packing up so that I can move to uni. Most students can just leave all their stuff at home with no worries...not me, my parents are hoping to sell the house and move hours away! Therefore, all of my things are either being thrown away, given to charity or sold. I'm not bothered about that, I just wish I could burn it all to get rid of things faster! By the end of the day, I have zero energy, physical or mental and that's not a state you can blog in. I'll be back in full swing in a couple of weeks, promise!

  23. @ EVERYONE, pah, I hate addressing replies to 'everyone', it seems so impersonal when I do actually read all of your comments! I should start replying as they come through, argh!

    Anyway. Thanks for all your compliments and such! These are actually mega easy to do, just look up 'Sponge gradient nails' on YT for how to get the fading effect and slap some glitter over it. Doesn't seem to take too long when you're slobbing out in front of the telly :)
