How to DIY Galaxy Nails

My Goddess was surfing around on Instagram when she came across someone who had her nails done the 'galaxy' style by her manicurist. It looked really pretty and so intrigued by this, my Goddess decided to surf around to find out if this could be DIY.

And to her surprise, the galaxy nails isn't hard to do at all! It as even easier than ombre nails. So here's sharing with you the simple steps to getting pretty galaxy nails!

DIY Half-moon Nails

Half moon nails have been quite popular for a while already. But my Goddess haven't had the guts to try it cos it looked quite difficult to conquer. When done nicely, it looks real chic.

One day, having itchy fingers, my Goddess tried to DIY half-moon nails last night for the very first time. Was quite a flopz. She did the red overall base first, then tried to paint a pink semicircle at the bottom - first with masking tape cut horribly into semicircles. Ended up the masking tape didn't stick well and she has to do everything 'free hand'.

Super duper thick & messy

After a few more coats of pink and cleaning up the edges, it looked much better.

DIY Cat-winged Mod Look

Last week was the Horny Devil's colleague's wedding. Guess La Belle Couture which my Goddess engaged for her wedding (gowns/pre-wedding album/makeup + hair/ actual day photography) left positive impressions and so many of her friends/ acquaintances, including this colleague engaged their services thereafter. 

Very sweet half-do with braids - the in style now!

Didn't managed to get a good shot here but the Chinese cheong-sam inspired modern day gown is really unique!

Magnetic Nail Polish

My Goddess has read about magnetic nail polish, but haven't had a chance to try it out. Thanks to her twin who brought her one to try all the one from Italy!

Kiko seems to be a big brand from Milan, offering a wide range skincare and makeup products!

And the results of her first attempt with magnetic nail polish - somewhat successful!

DIY Ombre Nails

Remember the last time I shared with you how to do your ombre nails?

Here's a step-by-step guide by Glamour.com.

Love the colour combination! My Goddess is so going to try this combination for her next wedding event coming up in June!

How to DIY your own Ombre Glitter Nails

This season is all about glitter and shine! And ombre colours are the in thing too.

Inspired, my Goddess bought a pink glitter polish from The Face Shop. It was selling at an affordable price below $10! Instead of painting the nails as per normal, my Goddess decided to diy the ombre effect. It was quite simply done, though slight messy.

To do this, pick 3 colours that are of the same shade.

First, paint the base coat followed by a light polish colour.

Next, use a sponge and dab the top colour from the middle of the nail to the tip of the nail.

Then use the same method to sponge the third (darkest) colour from the base of the nail to the middle. My Goddess redid step 2 again to emphasize the top colour.

Note: your fingers are going to be really messy and dirty with polish sponged out of the nails. Don't worry, just use a cotton bud and dip it in polish remover. Then remove the excessive polish outside of the nails.

Finally finish off with a top coat. Viola, you are ready to party the night away with a trendy nail design!

Have fun experimenting!
