Hello there lovely readers!
So its that time of the month again
darlings...Polish Days! When I found out what this months theme was,
“To Boldly Go...” my inner sci fi geek squealed in delight as I
absolutely LOVE all things Sci Fi! Star Wars is up there as one of my
all time favourite films (the classics obvs, not the recent CGI
filled disappointments) so I was excited to get my thinking cap on &
decide which way to boldly go for my Sci-Fi manicure.
An obvious
option was of course the much loved Galaxy nails but for some reason
they scare the bejesus out of me! I will attempt them one day but for
today I went down another route & did me some holographic Sci Fi
Alien nails instead!
What do you think? This design really
made me smile & my inner sci fi geek was definitely satisfied! :D
To start off I applied two coats of
Eyeko Cosmic Polish which was pretty much perfect for my 'outer
space' base! Galaxy effect without the effort ;) By the way, who else
really misses the old Eyeko products? They may not have been
everyone's cup o' tea but I personally loved the cute range with its
anime-esque style which has sadly been discontinued *sad face* Cosmic
Polish is a fab black with multicolored holographic glitters giving
the effect of hundreds of stars suspended in deep dark sky...
Next for my aliens I grabbed another
suitably sci fi like polish, the most awesome GOSH Holographic. There
are now quite a few holographic polishes out there but this was one
of the first I got & its still a firm favourite of mine. Using a nail
art brush I free-handed the oval like alien head before filling in
with two coats of the GOSH Holographic.
To complete the design I added two
bright green oval rhinestones for my alien eyes & finished with
two coats of topcoat to seal. Done!
Thanks for reading, hope you liked the
Sci Fi manicure lovelies! Can't wait to see everyone's sci fi nails! be sure
to check them out! Until next time....live long & prosper!
Lotsa love to ya!

DeleteLove this, so orignal. Such a cleaver use for the oval rhinestones. I'm totally going to have to borrow this look. Only wish they made glow-n-the-dark halo polish.
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica! Aww thanks so very much! I was just gonna paint on the eyes then thought the shape of these stones were perfect & I love the 3D effect! Yes! Defo give it a go & let me know if you do, I'd love to see! xoxo
DeleteI love it!! And the rhinestones are so cool here: I also love the fact that all the aliens are different ^____^
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely! Haha! I think it was actually my terrible free hand skills that made each alien look different but then who wants each nails looking the same eh? So it worked out in the end! Lol! xoxo
DeleteThis mani is crazy cute ^^

DeleteI can just picture you sitting with your family having a nice Sunday lunch (with loads of gravy of course) and your relatives looking at your nails wondering what is going on....
ReplyDeleteBwaha! Oh Mrs A I do love you <3 To be honest they probably looked at them and thought...it all makes so much sense now ;) And absoluuuuuuuutely drowning in gravyyyyyyy! :D xoxo
DeleteA Star Wars nerd, hello we are going to be friends! I think this design is neat and an X Files case for sure. I can just see this as an I Want to Believe thing. I think this is great.
