Purple Galaxy Nails

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying this fall Sunday.  It feels super early since we "fell back" last night but it's nice to gain that extra hour :)  Today I have a pretty chill day planned, just bumming around the house and getting various blog, etsy, and cleaning stuff done.  

Today I have a mani that I wore last week.  I wasn't even planning on doing it but I had painted my nails with OPI Plugged-in Plum and felt like doing some nail art.  The list of polishes used is very long and I'll include what I used a little farther down.



Polishes used include: OPI Plugged-in Plum, Maybelline Color Show Green with Envy (mint), OPI Haven't the Foggiest, OPI In the Cable Car-pool Lane, Zoya Storm, China Glaze Fairy Dust, and Maybelline Color Show Porcelain Party.

I started with my base color and then layered on all the above colors with a makeup sponge, gradually building up the color.  I used a dotting tool, nail art brush, and a q-tip for the white stars and then finished off with strokes of Fairy Dust.



I loved the final look and definitely plan on trying different colors of galaxy nails.  I think red would look really cool!  What do you think?
