Galaxies and Nebulae Nail Design

Galaxy nails are big news at the moment. Loads of photos and tutorials have popped up all over cyberspace. I couldn't not give them a go, partially because I'm doing a degree in Maths and Astronomy, and partly because my friend sent me a picture and did her puppy dog eyes at me. Who could resist?
I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, and they're pretty simple once you've got the sponging technique sorted. And they're glittery - yay!

Pool Balls for Edinburgh

 I have a tradition of having relatively simple, but eye-catching nails for my annual visit to Edinburgh. Last year it was Cheshire Cats. This year I went with my mum's suggestion of pool balls. They're numerically accurate as well, my mum would settle for nothing less.
This is the left hand. I prefer the mix of colours on this hand, but I couldn't do a pool ball design without the 8 ball. There'd be chaos.
