Spacey Nails Tutorial

Description

7 light years and one eternity later, I present you...

the tutorial. :bow:

Here's the deal: this is the first nail art tutorial I've ever done; I only figured my photo set-up out when I was done taking the pictures and was very unhappy with them and myself until I started editing (what is sequence of tenses, I don't know, it's late). Then I quite liked them. Aaaaaaanywho, if there's anything unclear, or there's a stupid typo (typed in 'shop, didn't proofread), do ask/tell. Please. Sorry. Okay.

NOTE: this technique can be used not only on nails, but basically anywhere: shoes, clothes, starships... Only keep in mind that the waterdrop halo trick won't work on porous surfaces.

WARNING: please, make sure your acrylic paint is non-toxic!

Please, don't re-upload this stuff anywhere. And show me your manis if you decide to try it.
Peace :peace: 


That was for Stef.

I enjoy this tutorial, I'm not a nailpainter myself, but my mother is. I pulled her off of cleaning the dishes for her to see. She almost squealed with absolute delight!

Vision:
This really looks like space, I also like how you decided to tell us we could make halos around the "stars".

Originality:
I've seen a few space nailart tutorials around the web, 3.5 is the best you can get, pretty good though.

Technique:
This is very amazing, you even say some suggested colors, you are detailed in the descriptions of each step. 5 stars to you!

Impact:
I needed to see this as soon as I came across it. This held a big impact on me, and lots of others as shown in the comments!

All in all, you deserve a big round of applause! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c…" width="20" height="20" alt=":clap:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="60" title="Clap"/>
