Other Stuff: Galaxy Nail Art!

I have wanted to do some galaxy nails for a long time!  They look really cool, and after watching some videos online, they looked pretty easy to achieve.  So I’m going to show you how I made my own Galaxy Nail Art!

I have a ton of colors, and I almost could do this galaxy nail art with all one brand, but I don’t have a yellow Julep…yet.  The colors I used were Julep Michelle, Julep Eileen, Zoya Pippa, Julep Carrie, Julep Eloise, Julep Sofia, and Julep Portia.  To get this look, you need some makeup sponge pieces (I tore four small pieces from a wedge sponge), tweezers, and a small dotting tool or toothpick.

Galaxy Nail Art Steps

I did two coats of Michelle for the background.  After that, I sponged the nebulae by layering sponge painted lines of Eileen, then Pippa, then Carrie.  Using the tweezers to pick up the sponges, I sponged Eloise along the sides of my nebulae to blend.  Next, I used the small dotting tool to stipple the stars, and completed the look with one coat of Sofia and one coat of Portia.  Sofia and Portia are slightly tinted but pretty clear glitter polishes, with Sofia being green-tint and Portia being blue tint.  Sofia glows in the dark, so it gives it an extra kick at night!

I really love this look!  It’s really cool!  My Julep Collection is coming along nicely, and I have a wide variety of shades to play with.

What do you think about my galaxy nail art?  Let me know in the comments!  Also, if you like the design, don’t forget to Pin this post to Pinterest! Make sure you’re following me on Instagram for my latest manicure!

After an 11-year home remodel and a backyard renov After an 11-year home remodel and a backyard renovation last summer, we’ve spent a lot of time out here figuring out what actually makes pool days easier.

These are a few Amazon favorites we reach for again and again all summer long.

Do you have a poolside must-have I need to know about?

I’ve always done my nails at home to save money, but I wanted something that actually lasted without damaging my nails.

The Dazzle Dry system dries in about 5 minutes, wears like gel (without the damage), and I can go over a week without chipping.

I’m using You’re Unforgettable from their Better Together spring collection, and I linked the full system + shades in my LTK so you can shop everything in one place.

I’ve shared parts of this room before — but not th I’ve shared parts of this room before — but not the full evolution.

This is my 16-year-old son’s bedroom. I designed it back in the 2020 One Room Challenge with the goal of creating something we wouldn’t need to redo every few years.

Before that, it was a bright little boy’s room.
And when we first got the keys? Just a blank box.

Over time, we’ve upgraded it slowly — including replacing the carpet with hardwood last year to match the rest of the house.

The foundation hasn’t changed.
Just the seasons.

More books.
More Legos.
More personality.

Same room. Just evolving.

I’ll be sharing more spaces from our renovation — not in order, just as they come. Follow along for more. 🤍

Adding an art lamp was the final touch. It completely changed how this space feels, especially at night. ✨
