I have been lusting over Galaxy Nails for a while now - I saw them over at the Cool Hunter but thought they would need hand painting and take loads of time. However, I found this very simple tutorial over at one of my favourite blogs - A Cup of Jo. And it really couldn't be easier. Thank you thank you!
1. Get a dark blue nail polish for the base, plus a few lighter sparkly polishes (for stars and comets!).
2. Paint the dark blue on all your nails as the base layer.
3. Now layer the glittery colors over the dark blue, but over only parts of each nail. A swipe here, a dab there. Mix things up with each nail, since you want them all to look different.
4. Layer a lot, since, instead of your nails looking flat, you want to get that 3-dimensional look of a far-away galaxy, like you're gazing up at the night sky.

Edit: Use toothpicks to dot on the bigger stars with white polish! (Thanks to Kutsamari for leaving this tip in the comments).
