'Cause, on my part, if this doesn't make you believe in fantastic creatures such as unicorns (and maybe fairies), then I don't know what will ;)
Also, the amount of fun you get out of making a galaxy mani only equals how much fun it'd be to actually see a unicorn, so there you go ;)
To give your Unicorn Galaxy a slight fairy and magicl feeling, use a pearly white polish for your base.
I went with Bellaoggi Pearl White, a gorgeous beauty, opaque in two coats.
Polishes such as this one tend to have that dreaded brush stroke finish no matter how thinly and carefully you apply them, but don't worry, we'll be covering it up, anyway :)
Then go on choosing your favourite neon, metallic-y, sheer polishes in all the colours you'd like your Unicorn Galaxy to have - I picked yellow, green and pink.
Get a small sponge and dab each polish in turns on the corners of the sponge only: you want to sponge small sections on your nails for the galaxy effect.
To end it beautifully, don't forget the countless stars, which are pretty easy to make using white polish or acrylic paint and making them different sizes.
Now, for a very important note: see the tiny halos around the biggest stars I painted?
I wouldn't have done it without the splendid idea/tutorial by Alex, from AlexSkyline, which you can see here - go show her some love, she's totally deserving, trust me! :)
Aren't those halos surreal? In love! Thanks, girl!<3
Let me know what's your opinion on Unicorn Galaxies and whether yuo'd rock these on your nails as well ;)
I hop you've had a lovely day today!
