Well, it happened….The 31 Day Nail Art challenge finally affected my Rheumatoid Arthritis. My back left, my fingers swelled and caused massive shakes. Apologies in advance for not so ideal photos — my arm just couldn’t handle holding the camera…

Galaxy nail art is super easy. I love how easy it is. I sponge different colors in swirly Milky Way patterns, add a few dots and voila! A very stunning, looks-like-it-took-years- but-only-a-few-seconds nail art. Yes, I did make that a sentence.

Items provided for honest review.

I should do galaxy nail art more often. It is surprisingly RA-friendly. Galaxies parade around as complicated, tough nail arts but are actually quite simple. All they entail is a lot of sponging with a lot of colors until I am happy with the final result!

I thought this would be the perfect time to use some new star studs I received from Born Pretty Store. I like their holographic finish which goes together quite well with the holographic top coat I used!

Some products provided for review. Opinions are my own.

I just had to do galaxy nails for today’s prompt because it’s been a while since I last did them! And, I have to admit, I’ve never been as happy to be an Aquarius as I was today. It is probably one of the easiest signs to freehand! Of course, mine left quite a bit to be desired but the rest of the look came out awesome…in my opinion, heh!

Today was also the perfect time to try out these star studs I received from Born Pretty Store. If I was going to try 3D studs they had to be in my favorite star shapes. Luckily, they were available in the 2mm size which were small enough for my tiny little nail stubs! I wouldn’t name these particularly RA-friendly as I had to use tweezers to turn them right side up but after that they applied without further hassle. They fell off the nail more easily than the Fimo canes. The bottom is slightly hollowed out so if I apply these with normal top coat application there is less surface area to adhere to the nail. However, they did hold up to light normal finger movement. If I remember to remove them properly the pieces are definitely re-usable. Though, I imagine I will lose quite a few too as I knocked a few out of the tin without realizing it!

31DC2014 – September 19: Galaxies

I decided to for-go yesterday’s half moons prompt. I do not like half moons and I do not like how they look. They’re just not my thing and I think that’s okay!

However, I do love galaxy nail art! It is surprisingly RA-friendly. It is a bunch of sponging and layers and it does not have to be perfect.

I’ve tried cool-colored galaxies, I’ve tried multi-colored galaxies so today I tried warm-colored galaxies. I was so pleased I could use my new Pahlish and Mundo de Unas polishes!

I hope you like it!

 

31DC2014 - September 19: Galaxies | The Rite of Aging…EarlyI used 3 coats of Pahlish Fevers and Mirrors as my base.

Other polishes:

  • Zoya Goldie
  • American Apparel Neon Red
  • Wet n Wild Burgandy Frost
  • Barry M Matte MNP 9/Rhossili
  • INM Northern Lights – Gold

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 311 and Mundo de Unas stamping polish 41-Copper.

Nail Art: Galaxy Accent

I’m going to try and climb tomorrow so I decided not to go hog-wild with my nail art today. Also, I went for a hike with my dog and I was exhausted by the time I got home.

I tried the galaxy nail art a few weeks ago and I really liked how it came out, so I decided to try it again to see if I could get the same results.

The polishes I used: CND – Stickey base coat, two coats of Essie – Power Clutch, SpaRitual – Running with Wolves, Zoya – Goldie, butter London – Knackered, Wet n Wild – Blue Moon, Revlon – 902 Celestial FX, and Seche Vite top coat.

Straight On

Once the base coat and base color dried I tore three small pieces from a foundation sponge and, with a pair of tweezers, sponged the SpaRitual, Zoya, and butter London polishes in diagonals across the nail.

I used a toothpick to splotch-dot Wet n Wild.

I used an eyeshadow sponge-tipped applicator to apply one star from the Revlon polish.

Topped all nails with Seche Vite which has a great shine!

Galaxy Accent

Unfortunately, today was one of those days when my fingers “stuck” in certain positions when I was removing the old enamel, and using the brushes to paint the polish. I am currently at 10mg of prednisone and while I feel like I am just getting by and I could feel a little better, I’d rather not increase the dosage.
