starry sky nail tutorial

 starry sky - nail tutorial
 
I was experimenting with nail varnishes and looking on Pinterest for ideas ,lets be honest all the nail tutorials on there are really complicated and turn out way too perfect. I wanted to do something autumnal so I came up with a starry night design. now you may be thinking that has absolutely no relation  to autumn , and yeah you're kind of right,  but as the days are getting darker earlier I thought I might get away with it! enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy  
 
 I am using a number seven nail varnish to be my 'night sky' and a gelly high shine Barry m nail paint to be my ' stars and moon'. I love the No7 nail varnish because it gives amazing coverage( I only used one coat) and , as you can see in the bottle, it looks almost galaxy like. where as the Barry m gelly high shine in ' coconut' is a gorgeous off white colour that's give a shiny finish; perfect for the 'stars'.

I painted one coat of the blue and let it dry before painting on the 'stars'.




 
I used a dotting tool to paint on my ' stars and moon' but you can use anything from a DIY dotting tool ( all over Pinterest and/or google images) to a old paintbrush. I actually have nail art pens but I thought it would be too easy and boring if nobody else have them! I cant remember where I got my dotting tools from but I shall link some bellow. they are really useful for not only this design but for many others too and are really affordable.
 
you can practise this on a plastic folder, I did in the  the picture below, to get used to painting stars- its not that hard!
 
 
I really liked the finished result of my nails and if you wondered why I painted my toe nails instead of my finger nails its because I bight mine and they're really ugly and short. I've never been able to paint them because of how short they are but I would really love to so if you have any ways to stop me biting them drop a comment her or on my instagram- @Rosa.bellamonte.
 
Thank you so much for reading I really appreciate it and I love you all! i hope you have an amazing day wherever you are!
 
love,
