happy birthday



This month is my birth month, so I wanted to do something special... ;P

I wanted to try out the "galaxy" nail art, and I got a sample bottle of "Happy Birthday" by Deborah Lippmann from Sephora, so I thought I would incorporate that too... ;)


I found some really cool polishes to work with... The base is Zoya's "Storm" to mimic outer space. The ring finger is the Deborah Lippmann's "Happy Birthday". The galaxies are made by Essie's "For the Twill of It" and Sephora by OPI's "It's All About Me". The thumb, I thought I'd make a heart with Sephora by OPI's "Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Pink!". Then, to recreate the stars I coated the entire nail with Nubar's "White Polka Dot".

I thought it came out pretty nicely... Using the make-up sponge to do the galaxies was pretty easy to do, and free-handing the heart turned out better than I thought. ;) (The color-changing "For the Twill of It" is perfect for the galaxy...) Next time, I might add some "brighter" stars and "twinkles" with some white polish. :)
