If you’re planning to try galaxy nails for the first time, the pastel shades are some of the prettiest to go for!

Especially if you’re looking for a soft look for the summer and want to stay away from the darker shades, you will love our selection of the best pastel galaxy nail art ideas!

Pastel galaxy nails come in a range of designs, from super complicated nail art capturing the essence of the Milky Way, to a more simplified and minimalist look featuring hand-painted stars or nail stickers with star and moon shapes. With the pastel shades, there are so many color variations to play with and try!

If you want to give this a go at home and do your own manicure, you will find plenty of ideas in our selection below. Try to stick to those that do not require hand painting any intricate nail art as that might require quite a bit of practice.

The other benefit of this manicure is the fact that you can make it work even on the shortest natural nails, but also on long coffin nails.

So, whatever your preference may be, get inspired by our selection of styles we found on Instagram!
