What are Blue Galaxy Nails?

Blue galaxy nails are natural or artificial nails decorated with an intricate nail design resembling the stars in the galaxy, the milky way or even the planets themselves.

There are a number of ways you can go about creating blue galaxy nails, some of the most popular nail art options include:

a simple look using just glitter nail polish in a variety of colors to achieve the look of a night sky, with some lighter shades of purple or white to make them look like the Milky Way
if you want to elevate the above look further, you can add some hand-painted stars or moon to the mix
to create an appearance of a starry sky, you can use a brush to spray your finger with white nail polish, which will immediately transform any black nail base into a pretty night sky
just because you’re creating a manicure inspired by space, it doesn’t mean you have to stick to black as your base color – dark blue also works perfectly well, and if you want a softer look, you can use a white base with gold stars, and adding some purple to create the appearance of the Milky Way
if you’re feeling confident, or have a skilled nail artist, you can elevate your manicure by adding your favorite planets to your nails.
