Using a matte black base and imPRESS Gel Manicure in Text Appeal, manicurist Gina Edwards for KISS Products, Inc. recreated the beauty of the night sky. Edwards embellished the nail with a variation of pearls and crystals to mimic both stars and the spiraling of galactic formation. This contrasting design leaves your nails edgy and glamorous.

The Look: Galaxy Nails

  • Select your size of imPRESS Gel Manicure in Text Appeal
  • Use a fine our course grit nail file or buffer to buff down the imPRESS in order to achieve a matte look
  • Shape the nails into an oval tip
  • To create the “planets” use 2 large pearls and place one at the top left corner and one diagonally across on the right corner of the nail
  • Take KISS Real Crystals and pull off the half circular crystal and place half way around the pearl
  • Place a strand of smaller crystals at the top of the large pearl and add single smaller pearls or crystals to finish the orbit
  • Lastly, for the constellation, take 3-6 stones from KISS Bejeweled and a small pearl and link together
