31 Day Challenge - Galaxy Nails

I can't believe it's already day 19 of the 31 day challenge! That means I've been blogging for 20 days now...time flies. I just want to thank all of you followers who have been with me through my early stages of nail polish blogging, you guys seriously keep me going! At this point it feels sort of lonely, but it's nice to know that you're out there!


These are my first attempt at galaxy nails. They're not super crazy like some of the galaxy nails that I have seen. Some people use something like 20 or 30 different polishes for their galaxy nails; I prefer to keep things far simpler. Maybe that's just laziness talking, but I prefer nail art that's quick and easy to do! I can say that this qualifies under both categories. I used Zoya Storm as the base, then I sponged on OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Butter London Muggins, Butter London Sprog, Zoya Neely and Essie Haute as Hello. The dots are a combination of using a dotting tool to place dots with My Boyfriend Scales Walls and the hex glitter from a coat of OPI Pirouette My Whistle on top.

Side note about Zoya Storm...the formula is kind of awful. Hopefully that's only the case for my bottle, but it was really hard to apply on account of being too thick and it came on patchy. Not to mention the very scattered holo is nearly impossible to see in most lighting. I really wanted to love it...but I can't recommend it, especially with far better (formula and appearance-wise) black holos on the market.

Thanks for reading!
