Galaxy and Mermaid Nails

Mermaid Nails
Materials:
Blue Nail Polish
Teal Nail Polish
Gold Sparkle Top Coat
Pink Nail Polish
Mint Nail Polish
Dotter Tool (important)
Start by painting your thumb and middle finger teal and your pinkie and pointer fingers blue. Paint your ring finger with a neutral base coat. Next use your dotter tool to make rows of overlapping pink, teal, blue, mint, and pink dots. (start at the bottom of your nail and work your way up to the tip) Finally paint over your blue and teal nails with gold glitter. Add a top coat for shine and you're done!

Galaxy Nails
Galaxy anything is very stylish right now. Why not carry  that style onto your nails?
Materials:
Black Nail Polish
Yellow Nail Polish
Pink Nail Polish
Blue Nail Polish
White Nail Polish
Gold Sparkle Nail Polish
Makeup Sponge
Toothpick (or dotter tool)
Tweezers

First paint all of your nails black (we're going goth!).  Then rip a piece of makeup sponge and hold it with your tweezers. Now lets get rid of that gothic look. Dip the corner of the sponge in white polish and lightly dab a line or nebula shape on your nail. Then dip another corner of your sponge into yellow nail polish and dab the yellow on in the middle of the white polish. Again choose another spot on the sponge and dip it into rose pink polish. Keep the pink close to the yellow when dabbing. I found with the pink that it was prettier to use a small amount. Now dip your sponge into blue nail polish and sponge it on around the edge of your "nebula." Use a toothpick dipped in white nail polish to create the stars and finish off with a gold sparkle to create a twinkling look. Use a topcoat to add shine and keep your design!
