Woohoo! It's day 31! This has been so much fun, but I am definitely looking forward to going back to a 2-3 times a week posting schedule. Today's challenge was to recreate our favorite challenge, and I chose to redo galaxy nails. I really liked how mine came out the first time, but I wished I'd done a black background instead of the brownish one. So, this time I used China Glaze Smoke and Ashes as the base instead of Orly Galaxy Girl. I used all the same sponging colors and top coats: Sally Hansen White On & Mellow Yellow, Pure Ice French Kiss, Sinful Colors Forget Now, Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe, and Out the Door Holographic top coat.
As a comparison, here is the first one from earlier in the challenge:
And here is today's.
LOL, now that I see the black background I think the brownish-purple is more "realistic" looking as a galaxy. It's still pretty though, I think.
Be sure to check out Painting Outside the Lines' Facebook page for the other entries. She'll be putting all the Day 31 pictures in an album and the one with the most "likes" will win the contest. There are a lot of pretty manicures posted already! :-)

31 Day Challenge Day 19: Galaxy Nails
It's galaxy nail day! I've been wanting to try these for awhile now, but they looked so complicated! I used my thumb as a learning experiment since it's never in pictures and then learned from there. I'm really happy with how this turned out, although next time I think I will use a black as the background instead of the purpley-brown that I used. I used Orly Galaxy Girl as the base color; Milani white stripe, Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow, and Sinful Colors Forget Now for the nebula; Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe and Out the Door silver holographic top coat for the top coats. This one even got a "That looks awesome" from my husband, who normally only tolerates looking at my nails. Love this one and can't wait to play with more galaxy nails later! :-)
19 Days down 12 to go! Don't forget to go checkout the giveaway posted a few days ago! :-)
