- Gel Base Coat & Top Coat
- Black, Deep Blue, Purple Gel Polishes
- White, Silver, or Iridescent Gel Polish
- Cosmetic Sponge or Eyeshadow Applicator
- Fine Liner Brush & Dotting Tool
- Aurora or Holographic Pigment (optional)
- Prep nails, apply base coat, and cure. Apply 1-2 coats of black gel polish for a deep space base, then cure each layer.
- Using small pieces of cosmetic sponge, dab on deep blues and purples in swirling, overlapping patterns, creating nebula effects. Cure each color layer lightly.
- Blend lighter shades like cosmic blue or magenta gel polish with a dabbing motion to create translucent, glowing cloud formations. Cure after desired depth is achieved.
- With a fine liner brush and white gel polish, carefully paint tiny, irregular speckles and a few larger dots for distant stars and galaxies. For added realism, use a dotting tool with a very light hand for varied star sizes.
- Optionally, gently dust aurora or holographic pigment over uncured top coat for an otherworldly shimmer, then apply a final, thick layer of high-gloss top coat and cure fully.
- Cleanse the nail with alcohol to remove any tacky layer, revealing the pristine, photo-real finish.

Expert Tip
The secret to a truly photo-real galaxy lies in building thin, translucent layers of color, allowing the previous colors to show through, creating an illusion of infinite depth. Avoid opaque, heavy applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will this photo-real galaxy design last?
With proper application and aftercare, this gel polish design typically lasts 3-4 weeks without chipping, maintaining its stunning appearance.
Can I request specific celestial elements, like a planet or a constellation?
Absolutely! We encourage customization. Please discuss your specific vision with your nail artist during the consultation for a truly personalized cosmic design.
Is this design damaging to natural nails?
No, when applied and removed professionally by a skilled technician, gel polish designs like this are not damaging to your natural nails. We prioritize nail health.
What's the difference between this and a regular galaxy nail art?
The 'photo-real' aspect emphasizes intricate layering, fine details, and depth, mimicking actual celestial photography, which is far more complex than a basic sponged galaxy effect.
Can this design be done on shorter nails?
While longer nails allow for more detail and depth, our skilled artists can adapt a beautiful, intricate galaxy design to shorter nails, though some elements may be scaled.
Is the shimmer prone to falling off?
No, any shimmer or glitter is encapsulated within layers of gel polish and sealed with a top coat, ensuring it stays perfectly intact and smooth.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent damage to the artistic layers.
- ✓Apply cuticle oil twice daily to keep the skin around your nails healthy and supple.
- ✓If a chip occurs, visit your salon promptly for a professional repair to prevent further damage.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file the top layer of gel polish to break the seal, being careful not to file into your natural nail.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off softened gel with an orange wood stick. Repeat soaking if necessary; never force it off.
