Galaxy Print French Tip Nail Art Tutorial with Striping Tape

-
Hey guys! It's almost the New Year, oh how time flies! Today I would like to share with you these galaxy print french tip nails that I did yesterday. I really meant to do this post yesterday as well, but I got caught up making and decorating some gingerbread and ran out of time! Despite it being summer-time here in Australia, it was a terribly cloudy (but hot) day, and I had a really tough time taking my photos.


You can conquer the whole galaxy with these nails! The nail polishes that I used for these nails were Revlon Knockout, Savvy by DB Sugar Plum, Sinful Colors Endless Blue and Sally Hansen White Tip.

For these nails you will needs a few different colours of nail polish; black for the base and purple, white and dark blue to form your galaxy. Take a latex-free cosmetics sponge and cut two small pieces off of it, then cut those in half and apply your your white, purple and blue to each of the sponges respectively. Set aside the last sponge for use another time. Now start dabbing the colours onto your black base. Start with two white lines, and then  build your galaxy around them using your other colours. To create depth make the colours overlap. Remember to only to do this on the top half of your nail.

Now to complete the galaxy, add a few stars in white nail polish or acrylic paint. I did this using a striper, but a nail art brush will also do fine.

Seal off your galaxy from the rest of your nail using a piece of striping tape. I use cuticle nippers to create a clean edge on the tape and I used the colour pink to give contrast from the design.


To finish off your design add a star shaped stud in the centre of your striping tape. To adhere it, add a spot of top-coat to the back of the star and carefully place it on the nail.

And there we have it! I'm absolutely star-struck, literally! What do you think guys? Are these nails fun? Have you done galaxy nails before? Please let me know what you think down below in the comments and don't forget to share your creations with me on instagram and pinterest using the #goodnails!
May your nails be good, and happy new year, or almost anyway!

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before ...
