How to Create Galaxy Nail Art

Galaxy nail art is a stunning design that captures the beauty of outer space on your nails. It involves creating a cosmic look with a blend of dark and bright colors, often incorporating glitter for a starry effect. To create galaxy nail art, start with a base coat and a black or dark blue base color. Use a sponge to dab on various colors like purple, blue, pink, and white in random spots to create a nebula effect. Add white dots with a fine brush for stars, and finish with a glitter top coat for added sparkle. This cosmic design can be achieved with the precision and creativity typical of Russian manicures, ensuring smooth transitions and delicate details.
