These nails were inspired by several designs I have seen online. I really love the gradient/sponging technique and this is how I accomplished the galaxy look. For these, I used several different colors. For the base coat, I used Sally Hansen "Blackout". I first sponged on the light blue using a makeup applicator sponge, using China Glaze's "Bahamian Escape". After the light blue I sponged the greenish color which is China Glaze's "Entourage". I also dabbed extra colors onto it like the darker blue China Glaze "Sky High Top" and the dark purple China Glaze "Grape Pop". To add some extra flare to it, I dotted some random white dots to make them look like tiny stars. I then put a very light coat of China Glaze's "Fairy Dust" to add some sparkle on them.

Hunger Games nails
I decided to do something inspired by the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. The books are amazing! I can't wait for the movie to come out in March. Katniss, the main character, was given the nickname "the girl on fire", so I decided to do something with some blacks and golds. It was honestly a little difficult to draw the mockingjay logo on my nails because I have such small nails. And, I didn't want to do it over so that's how it turned out on the first try. I also currently just got the Nubar 2010 which is used as a top coat on my pinky and index finger. I love all the flakes style polish. They create a cool effect and change colors when they're under different lighting. The Nubar 2010 has red, orange, and green tones. <3 it!
