Galaxy Dotticure with Constellation Water Decals

Partial Press Sample

I was in the mood for galaxies, and by fate, galaxy artwork popped on my Instagram feed and here's the result! And I wore it for a week!

Galaxy Dotticure with Constellations Nail Art


I love this water decal set. I chose to focus on the constellations but plan on using the zodiac sign for my upcoming birthday (which I'm pretending isn't happening. I'm not much on birthdays). First, I saw this photo on Instagram from an artist Elspeth Mclean. Her artwork has gone viral and it is super awesome for nail art! I saw this constellations and were blown away. I had to re-create it!

I started with a base of Elevation Polish Yeti was a Shadow, which is a dark grey soft holographic polish. Then sticking with the blue, purple, and magenta base, I added larger dots first. Then the medium dots. Lastly, the smallest dots.

The colors I used includes: Illamasqua Cameo, Illamasqua Noble, Illamasqua Jomina, Zoya Rock, Elevation El Cap Oops, Elevation Walk a Little Further. I didn't use any method beyond biggest to smallest dots.

Then after that dried, I cut out my desired constellations. I removed the clear film, soaked the decals in water for about 20 seconds, then applied the image onto my nail. Then you want to carefully float top coat over the decals. If you push too hard, the decals will disintegrate.
