How to - GALAXY NAILS!

I believe galaxy nails are one of the most popular nail art designs out there.. I don't think there's a nail enthusiastic that didn't tried galaxy nails at least once.
They can be done using all kinds of colors, from black and dark ones to lighter pastels even white ones!!

Today I'm gonna show you my versions of  this famous design and how I did them.
In case if you know who's the founder and creator of this design, please let me know in the comments =)

Let me tell you how I did it step by step:

1 I painted my nail with a silver base, I've used Silver Dakota by Parrot Polish (REVIEW). You can also use black!

2 With a make up sponge, I dabbed , first- shimmery duochrome blue called Blue Macaw by Parrot Polish (REVIEW). You can use simple creamy blue polish but I found out that it has prettier effect if you add shimmery one!

Then I dabbed shimmery pink polish called Candy Coral also from Parrot Polish, you can also use purple polish , that works great too =)

I wanted to add a bit of a darkness to my design so I dabbed  just a little bit  of black I've used KIKO n°819

3 As a final step I added topper with a fine holographic glitters called Space Queen by  Essence

This is my second time doing galaxy nails and it's my go to  design, because it's so easy and fast. And it doesn't have to be perfect! 

First time when I did it I used black base , then I dabbed shimmery blue, purple (instead of pink), silver and added just a few bigger silver glitters before Space Queen topper, and that's the only bigger difference between my 2 designs .

my first galaxy

 

 These were my 2 galaxy design, pretty much the only main difference are the base polishes I've used and the silver glitters !! I hope you like them and find this post helpful!

Let's talk make-up #2 - Beauty UK

I just realized I didn't do a make-up post for a looong time, so I decide to show you one eyeshadow pallet, eyebrow set and blush from a brand called BeautyUK that I absolutely love. I already talked about this brand in the post about some of their lipsticks and crayons that you can find HERE. Although this is really affordable drugstore brand the quality of their products is amazing and its great both for beginners and more advance make-up artists.
They're based in UK but they have an online shop as well and they do ship worldwide =)

Let me first show you this gorgeous eyeshadow palette that I have..

 This is a part of the Posh palettes.  They are available in four sensational collections, this one is the newest no.4 called Galaxy. This palettes are well pigmented and perfectly presented and they are the new generation of Beauty UK’s famous, award-winning eye palettes. 
It contains 10 mostly shimmery shades. The case is made of a hard white plastic so it wont break easily, and it has a useful mirror on the inside of the lid plus the 2 side applicator. 
The colors are stunning, they go from nudes to purples, blues and blacks. Perfect for darker night looks but also more lighter, natural day looks. I simply love it. The only downside for me is the applicator because I don't really like these sponged ones :/ But I do have my own brushes so this isn't that big of a deal.

Let me show you how they swatch ...

The second thing I want to show you today is ALL IN ONE BROW DEFINITION KIT from the same brand. The set comes in a cute little packaging that's made from hard plastic as well.  It contains 3 shades and one colorless wax  that helps keeping the brows in their place. The set also includes some really good tweezers and double ended application brush. I love how cute and little they are but jet so efficient.

In the back of the packaging you can find the instructions, and they said:

step 1- Shape and define your brows using the angled brush. Dip in the soft, colorless wax and use smooth, angled strokes.

step 2- Use the soft blending brush to apply the setting powder. This will fill in any sparse areas and lock the brow in place.

step 3- Perfect your look by using the precision tweezers to remove any stray hairs. Done! 

I love this set because it suitable for all hair types and colors , you can easily mix the 3 shades to get exactly what you need. As you can see on the photo I use the lightest color the most  =)

If you don't already own some sort of brow kit I think you can give this one a go for only £3.99!

Last thing I have to show you for today is my favorite  highlighter/blush  =) . It's a baked-box blush by Beauty UK no.3 called HALO (great name)

 

 

 Although the box says it's a blush in my opinion it's more of a highlighter because it gives you amazing glow and not much color. But I like it that way because you can use it just like a highlighter or blush in the summer when you only want something sparkling on your cheeks =)

 The packaging is made from cardboard slim, square box with a square mirror within the flip lid.  The cardboard compact closes  tight thanks to a magnet. The baked blush contains 4,4g of product which is really good for the price of £3.99. 

look how gorgeous this is

amazing glow

This is an absolute must have for all of us girls. It's so wearable and usable in more ways, for such an affordable price. 

Overall I obviously love all of the  products I've show you today and really think every girl should have something like this in her make-up bag, whether you do your make-up a lot or from time to time like me =)

In case you don't have BeautyUK in your country, don't worry they have an online shop that ships worldwide and here's the LINK =)
