Hello! It's been a while since I've done something constructive... I have been so busy (the positives of being a senior - hello mid year exams!). Anyway today while browsing online, I had a very, very strong desire to buy myself a pair of galaxy printed leggings, however, the design I wanted was out of stock. Sad times. So I laid in bed thinking about how soon I could get my hands on something galaxy printed, that I could actually pull off.. Have you noticed some galaxy prints cover the whole garment? I don't really like that look, I think it would be hard to wear with other clothes... because it would look really busy with all the colours everywhere! so.. long story short, if I could do a galaxy print on my nails, i could do it on my clothes.. and do it to my liking! Luckily, I'm a crafty girl, so I had some fabric paint stashed away... but only in black, white, blue and teal.. so I decided to use some acrylic paint! that stuff never washes out, I would know.

Abstract Summer Bush Strokes
While on instagram I found another great tutorial for very stylish nails and Nik (the instagramer) has allowed me to feature her on my blog and here she has put together instructions with handy photos, to tell you how to get fashionable nails just like hers. (Thanks Nik!) Enjoy! Happy nail painting :)
Colors used:
China Glaze “ Strong Adhesion Base Coat: and “Fast Forward Top Coat”
Revlon Top Speed “Hazy”
Sally Hansen “Blue Me Away!”
China Glaze “Shocking Pink Neon”
China Glaze “Sun Worshiper”
(Or use your nailpolish of choice)
Steps:
1: Start with a clear base coat to prevent your nails turning yellow. Let dry then apply one or two thin coats of a gray polish.
