1. 1 makeup sponge (the finer texture the better)

2. 1 Qtip

Coral Hue Galaxy Nails: 

1. The main idea behind this coral hue galaxy is to seamlessly blend the light white areas with the dark pink background color. 

2.  Keep your polish relatively light and use the pointed tip of your sponge.  Begin by sponging a white base followed by a light purple and coral to blend.  

3. Add a yellow color in the middle of white area, to symbolize the center of the cosmic dust.  

4. Sponge an iridescent blue nail polish around the edges of your nail to add more depth and create contrast.  

5. Paint a supernova (starburst) by starting your lines from the center and dragging out; this will make the lines get thinner towards the ends, making them look as part of the universe and not  clunky. 

6. Add glitter and concentrate it around the cosmic dust to not overwhelm the design.

Blue Galaxy Nails:

1. Begin by painting a dark base as the main galaxy color (black nail polish, indigo nail polish, etc). 
2. The main idea for this blue toned galaxy is to blend the light colored cosmic dust with this dark background.  Use purple, dark magenta, and blue to achieve this effect.  
3. Keep the center of the cosmic dust the lightest, brightest white to imitate light.  
4. Paint a planet by dipping a Q tip in your light blue and twisting it in place to achieve a sphere. 
5.  Repeat the action with a darker color on top to give dimension to the planet; finish it off by adding white around its edges as if it's illuminated. 
6. Concentrate glitter polish around the cosmic dust and top off with your favorite topcoat.





Voila!

Enjoy!
