Tools

I used:

• 'Collection 2000 Manicure 103 French White'
• '17 Heartbeat'
• '17 Seabreeze'
• '17 Navy Glint'
• 'Rimmel 60 seconds 610 Pompous'
• 'Collection 2000 12 Minx'
• 'Barry M 245' 
• 'Collection 2000 Nail Care Top Coat'  
• A sponge 

Step 1

 Paint your nails with the navy blue. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

Sponge a line of  white across the nail. This is the basis for your galaxy so chose the shape wisely. You could have identical galaxies on each finger or you could chose a different shape for each nail. I chose to have different shaped galaxies on each nail. 

Step 3

Sponge a line of pale blue down the center of the white section

Step 4

Sponge a line of slightly darker blue down the center of the galaxy

Step 5

Sponge a small amount of navy blue down the center of the galaxy

Step 6

Sponge some purple (the Rimmel one) down the center of the galaxy

Step 7

Sponge some of the other purple down the center of the galaxy

Step 8

Sponge a tiny amount of gold into the center of each galaxy

Step 9

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.

Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.

Tools

I used:

• 'Collection 2000 Manicure 103 French White'
• 'Model's Own Pen Black'
• 'Collection 2000 Nail Care Top Coat'  
• A copy of the music for reference

Step 1

Paint your nails white. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

Using the black pen, draw five lines for the stave across each nail. Start by drawing the central one across the middle of your nails and then add the others either side so that the stave is central on your nail.

Step 3

Add the note heads to the stave, starting with the little finger on your right hand. You could use the same music as me ("Hedwig's Theme" from the Harry Potter films) or you could chose your own music. However, the fewer the number of notes in the bar, the easier it is to fit on your nails. Don't forget the accidentals (flats and sharps)!

Step 4

Add in the stems for all the notes, noting whether they go up or down.

Step 5

Add in the slurs to the music

Step 6

On your thumbs paint a treble clef. You could also add random notes or different clefs if you wanted; this part is pretty much up to you as to what you want.

Step 7

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.

 
Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.
