Swirly Thing Alert

Yeah, good name, right? (There is a prize for anyone who gets the reference*)
Anywho, I decided to do something simple, but that looked intrcate.
 Also a test of the Bourjois So Lacque nail varnishes.
I liked the Bourjois polish. I find pale colours usually streak without many thousands of coats, but this only took 2. It was also very shiny pre-topcoat.
Products used: Pale pink - Bourjois (Rose Lounge)
                       Black - Barry M
*The prize is an imaginary cupcake.

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!
