Galactic Snake Skin: Recycled Manicure!

Hello Lovelies! I have kind of been obsessed with galaxy nails lately so I decided to do them for a concert I was going to this weekend. Check out how my most recent endeavor with them turned out.

I used O.P.I 'Lincoln Park After Dark' for the base and tons of different colors for the sponging. I also added glow in the dark Nebulas using a dotting tool and China Glazes 'Ghoulish Glow'. The dots glowed beautifully in the dark after being "charged" with a bright light for a few seconds, but the glowing didn't last long. I was ok with it not lasting that long though because I knew it was there and that worked for me hahaha. Tip: If you are going to do Glow in the dark dots you  might want to "double dot" just to make sure you get a good glow effect.

Using 'Joy' and 'Cherish' both from China Glaze and Bundle Monster plate BM-215 I stamped on a random snake skin pattern.

I am kind of digging it with the frosty sea foam green and pretty purple. Less "Galactic" but still pretty cool. What do you guys think? I love recycling the Sponge Manicures, you can make them completely different!
I hope you all enjoyed this Manicure, thank you all so much for reading!  Also don't forget to enter my giveaway for a chance to win Urban Decay's Naked 2 Palette. Click HERE to enter!

Recycled Mani

Hi Loves! Here is another Recyled Manicure done with scotch tape. I find doing these tape manicures works much better the next day because the Base is completely dry and you dont have to worry about the tape picking it up.. and you can press down on the tape harder to make sure you get nice clean lines.

This is what I started off with.. My Orly Goth Mani.


It's not perfect but this was only my third try and I keep getting a little better each time!

The light blue is China Glaze For Audrey and the bottle I'm holding is Sexy In The City

I am going to keep practicing this Manicure so just bear with me friends. Thanks for reading!
