Starry Night Nails

Today's nail design are somewhat inspired by the
Van Gogh. It is very easy to do with only a sponge for the gradient of blue for the night sky and a dotting tool for the star and moon. I do not own a dotting tool so I use a ball-point pen. It's an easy DIY fix for a dotting tool.

For this design I used:
  • Total Manicure Top & Base Coat
  • Orly-Blue Collar
  • NYC in a NY Minute- West Village
  • Wet n' Wild Wild Shine-Black Creme
  • Orly-Glitz
  • NYC Long Wearing-Taxi Yellow Creme
The colors you will need is: Sky Blue, Navy Blue, Black, Yellow, and Gold
  1. Once you have applied your base coat, then apply a liberal coat of the sky blue.
  2. Then with the sponge, sponge the navy blue on the top 3/4 of the nail (towards the cuticle).
  3. And to finish the night sky gradient, apply black on the top 1/4 of the nail.
  4. Once the gradient is completely dry, with your dotting tool dot the yellow on the lower half of the nail with the light and navy blue.
  5. Then dot the gold onto the top half of the nail. Apply a few in-between the yellow dots.
  6. On the thumb in the top corner make a crescent shape for the moon.
  7. Finally apply a top coat to finish and protect your design.
Have an awesome day and enjoy your nails!
