Supplies:
–black polish
-Royal Blue, Plum, White and Silver Sparkle acrylic paint
–top coat
–makeup sponge
-toothpicks
Step Two: Pour out a little bit of each of your acrylic colors on a plate. Taking a makeup sponge, start with the white and lightly sponge on a bit of white. Follow up with a little bit of the royal blue and purple. Play around with the sponging until you like the look. To add more dimension, add just a tiny bit of white over the top with your sponge. Make sure you leave some of the black polish showing around your nails for added depth. Finally, take a little bit of the silver sparkle—I love the ones from the Martha Stewart line. I know it’s tempting, but just add a teeny tiny amount of sparkle. It ends up taking away from the look too much if it’s too sparkly.

Love these!! I would love to try these, but I don’t think my left hand would do a very good job…

I LOVE this and it looks amazing and beautiful, but HOW are you doing this when you have to do your non-dominate hand? I can barely get a regular coat a paint on my right hand. Obviously, my DIY manicure skills are inadequate.
Your nails look amazing!

Galaxy nails are beautiful! I once did it on my nails and I loved it! The only reason why I don’t do it more often is because it takes a bit of time and I don’t have time right now…
Maaadly in love! <3

Wow, this is so pretty and simple! I love the galaxy look and am thrilled to know that you can use acrylic paint to decorate nails.
Oh, what a coincidence! This morning I made myself a galaxy mani on two accent nails, and it’s very similar to this tutorial!
