Day 19 - Galaxies

After the last day of my 30 Days of Untried Challenge with its lame half moon, today I really enjoyed my mani. I do realize there are some things need to be fixing, but I truly enjoyed doing this mani and I truly enjoyed wearing it!

I started with Hits - Apolo from the No Olympo collection. This is a gorgeous dark blue holo. It has a great formula, a wonderful brush that spreads nicely on the nail, making application quick and easy, it has great pigmentation and is opaque in two quick coats and it dries fast. I have nothing bad to say about this beauty.

Hits - Apolo, two coats, no top coat, under artificial lighting indoors.

Then I took one of those make-up sponges used for eye shadow. I figured it would be easier to play with it since it has a handle. Turned out I was right. I wouldn't use that one for regular sponging. If I have to cover my entire nail - I would prefer the regular sponge held with a tweezers. But for the galaxy nails, the little one with the handle was easier to use. So I randomly sponges my nails with a little bit of each color: Milani - White on the Spot, Bourjois - Jaune Trendy, Bourjois - Orange Creation and Love & Beauty - Wine. Then I sponged a tiny bit more using Hits - Apolo, just to make sure I don't loose the dark blue background. I used the dotting tool to create a little stars with Milani - White on the Spot, I sponged a little more over those and then I covered it all with China Glaze Fairy Dust. That's it. The next time I give this mani a try, I will use a darker base and I will try to be more patient and wait for my stars to actually dry before using the Fairy Dust. But other then these two minor issues, I really love my galaxies. Don't you?
