The ultimate procrastination - "inspired by the patterns formed into stars in the earth's night sky is a 3-dimensional extravagant nail art system" by MUA available at Superdrug.
I decided to buy the 'Pisces' colour and use it on a black background.
Here's how -
Step 1: Paint a clear base-coat onto each nail, I like Rimmel's 3-in-1 base, top-coat and strengthener.
Step 2: Carefully paint each nail with a black polish, I used a Collection 2000 polish.
Step 3: Cover a single thumb nail with clear top-coat, I used No.7 from Boots
Step 4: (I do this very differently from the instructions) Pour out a small pile of beads onto a piece of paper, and while the top-coat is still wet, roll the thumb nail into the beads to cover the entire nail. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the other thumb nail.
Step 5: Cover a finger nail with the clear top-coat and dip half the nail into the beads, neatening the line by adding some beads individually or pushing the beads around while the polish is still wet.
Repeat for each nail
Step 6: Cover each nail completely again with the clear top coat to seal the beads and polish.
I did this nail art for a party and it was very successful :) It lasted for four days, but unfortunately didn't survive my day of car washing (but then... Not even gel nails would make it through that)
