Galaxy Nails! Nail Art Tutorial

Ok, so I have no idea who started the AWESOME Galaxy nail trend, but I'd love to shake her/his star-covered hand! (EDIT: Apparently it was Nails by Asami, which is no longer a site?!) This nail design LOOKS hard, but it's so easy it's ridiculous- you really can't screw up. The best part is? BECAUSE it looks so difficult, your friends will marvel at your nail art talents, and strangers will incessantly compliment your damn fine nails. :-D (You may even get a comment or two like the one in my tutorial video! :-D)

You can paint plain galaxy nails, or you can add the 'half moon' like I did in my previous post! :D Snazzy!

Hey, baby. Are you a satellite? Because I looked at your nails and said "Hubble Hubble"

Curiosity Didn't Kill This Cat!

In case you were checkin' out the inside of your eyelids, or perhaps living under a rock, within the last 12 hours, we just might have landed on Mars. No, really. Mars. It's pretty damn amazing what mankind can do when they use their imagination. I can't even imagine being in that control room, just watching it I was grinning from ear to ear, and not just because of Mr. Mohawk!

This leads me to another point. Mr. Mohawk, otherwise known as Bobak Ferdowsi, the Flight Director on the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity mission, has become an internet sensation and the object of many womens' dirty thoughts literally overnight. Because of a handsome face, a daring hairstyle, and a larger-than-average brain, the internet is abuzz with this Pasadena, California-based space stud.

Well, you know me, nerdy nails are definitely my forte, so how could I resist a nail art tribute to the events (and people) that filled today with excitement?
