This is super gorgeous! I'll have to try this, it looks amazing. And as always, you have the most gorgeous nails!
SERIOUSLY amazing job girl! this has to be my favorite mani that i've seen in a long time!
This looks really nice! :-) Now you make me want to try it but I don't want to take off the nail polish I have on now.
Apple Juice and kelliegonzo, thank you so much, guys! I'm so glad you both like it!
Michelle, no worries, the post isn't going anywhere, hehe. :-)
Great idea and great post! Gorgeous!
As always, a creative and pretty mani!
Jackie S. and L, thank you both; I really appreciate it!
how did you be so awesome?!?! gah! i need ds glamour nao.
squovalicious.blogspot.com
this is really really lovely. and accurate! good job.
These are gorgeous! I need to invest in some holo polishes!
that is so awesome! i love it :)
Gorgeous! So pretty!
This is such a cool look! Will definitely try it out! :-)
Galactic!!! :) I really like it! Maybe I'll copy it to my nails :P
thank you 4 sharing
Beautifull! They exactly look like space!
Wow, I really like the outcome. =)
Not only was the mani beautiful, but I think I might actually be able to replicate it. Gorgeous!
that is GORGEOUS! it looks so beautiful! :)
great post! thank you for sharing, i appreciated your in-depth approach.
it really does look like space! :) so pretty!
I can see it even shine onto your finger in the second last pic! :p
Asami! I love those nails. Gorgeous. So clever and creative. I love the way you wrote your post for this and I'm guessing we'll see "Space Nails" on many blogs ;) Oh yes, you can bet, you'll be popular! :) x
So pretty!! I am definitely going to try this! Thanks for the tutorial.
This is absolutely amaaaazing!! I love the splatter effect. I wanted to try this method with a white background and gold chrome splatter, but when I tried "smooshing" the gold with the paper towel, it looked got really bumpy and globby. Any tips to make it look as awesome as yours? :-D
This is cute! But I was really staring at your ring the whole time...;]
those are so beautiful!
that looks really awesome. i used to be fascinated with space as well (still am actually) so much so that i have books on celestial matters outer space. i'm going to try this idea out as well! thanks for posting a tutorial on this!
I love, love, love your nails. Very pretty!
OMG, best tutorial EVAAAAAH! :)
Truly amazing job girl, this is stunning!!!
I have to try it myself, I need to get me some appropriate material!!!
xxx
This is amazing! You have the best nails too. I love it :) xo.
Gorgeous!
Holy moly, I just started reading your blog, and you've got some awesome nail skills! Thanks for the tutorial!
Perfect as always!!
xox Nonie
Wow, that is so gorgeous and creative!
Thank you so much, guys! I'm thrilled to find out this one went over so well!
Sarah, I'll try to demonstrate the paper-towel technique in an upcoming video for you; I hope that helps. Sheer polishes tend to work best and you only need to dab a tiny bit on the paper towel.
Thanks again, everyone! I love you!
Have I ever told you that I think yer a freaking nail genius?!?! I wish I had yer creative mind! Juuuuust gooooorgeous!
I'm not exaggerating when I say these are the best nails I've ever seen. :)
I tried it with a lavender polish and blue and silver holo ontop but i can't get the paper towel technique down, so I'll probably be waiting for your video :p haha
great job with these!
I will make a video soon about the paper towel technique. It made me really happy to hear that you guys like this one so much! Thank you!
CUUUTE NAILS!!!
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen! I've just started out becoming obsessed with polishes and nail art, but I hope to create this look for myself one day! Thanks for the video tutorial. :)
This is a gorgeous design! I might try it myself! Your nails are fantastic! <3<3<3 Thanks for the toutorial! <3
I've just started following your blog and absolutely LOVEEE it! You have fantastic advice and I love your nails. Thanks so much for sharing your advice. Great tutorials ... xxx
This is a fabulous idea and you did an excellent job of it. Like being in deep space. Happy Day!
Thank you for this vidéo. It's very Beautiful.
Firstly, you're beautiful, secondly, your nails are beautiful. I scoured your website to see how you keep them in shape to no avail. Would you be willing to talk about the health of your nails, I really liked how you talked about "wrapping" your nails in one of your YT videos, I've never heard of that and thought it was a great tip! Anyways I'm a new subscriber, thanks for the tuts and blogs!
Definitely gorgeous, I want to try soon!
Such a great and creative demo. Thanks for your hard work - this is out-of-this-world beautiful!
Really really gorgeous! I'm not into nail art, but I LOVE these effects, I think they're more interesting and eye-catching! Good work, I'll try to replicate it in the future :>
Smaltoitaliano, thanks! This is nail art though. ;-)
awesome...
awesome... love it
Stellar manicure! :P I was a space/alien freak in Jr high as well and oh so popular. I had these alien stickers. SCHWA! *LOL*
You know what else is stellar?
Your cat's name is Mulder! <3 <3 <3
I love looking at Hubble telescope photos so I couldn't wait to give this a try. I actually went out and got Significant Other and the Pa Japanese nailpolish just to do this (couldn't track down DS Glamour and had no time to get Man Glaze). I found that one coat of DS Mystery on a coat of creme black worked well enough. The sponging technique took a while to get but the video helped tons.
So thank you for this great tutorial. I can't stop looking at my hands.
loving the matteismurder
This was actually really easy to do! :) And I love how with different colors it can change the look!
It's amazing!! so beautiful!
I love your blog! i add your blog in my list of favorite blog!!
Sorry for my english (i'am french ^^)

I only found your nail blog today, but I've been looking through it and I have to say you have some amazing stuff here. Absolutely fantastic.
And I need to try and dupe these space nails soon, sci-fi nerd as I am. :)
My kitty says hi too, she walked over the keyboard to do so. :P
Asami Hello!
I've tried to make your space-nails, just changing the colors. The result was great and everyone made me the compliments! Unfortunately, the batteries of my camera were amchcina scarische (sigh sob), so I have no photos to show you. I'll have to do it again soon. XD
Have you had a wonderful idea.
Sayoonara!
beatuful!
looks alot like the layered look inspired by sunsets I did for PHD's weekly challenge a while ago.
layering can make some of the most beautiful manis
Very helpful!
I've linked you in my post:

Merry Xmas
That is soooooooooo amazing! If I have time enough today I'll sure be trying this one out!
obviously this is a beautiful mani and awesome, clear tutorial but i have to say i grinned when you said "but some idiot named them holographic, so..." bravo smart girl :D
wow very beautifull!!
could you use makeup sponges instead of paper towels? i typically like the sponges better but i'm not sure if they would possibly dillute any hollographic-ness.
Amazing! You used just a few polishes,and the tutorial was so simple and easy! I like how you have the fake nails attached to pens,lol,never would have thought of that!Thanks for the tip on Zoya Matte.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I´ve just created my own space nails.
one of the most awesome manicures ive ever seen. cant wait to replicate this look and play around with the colors. your knowledge about colors, dimension and space are what really made this helpful and authentic. Thank you so much.
You are so talented! I love this look and I'm definitely going to try it.
