Galaxy nails are such a fun project! Using a mix of colours and a sponge, treat your nails like a palette mixer. Don’t worry about using fresh sponges for each nail – you’ll soon get an amazing mix of colours that will add to your design. The white base make the colours pop but if you want a more subtle Galaxy design you can omit this step. Try them! These nails are outta this world! (Sorry, we had to say it…)
