Actually, the popular galaxy nails are relevant at any time of the year, and under almost any circumstances. However, a black “space” manicure is especially suitable for warm winter sweaters.

Styling Tips: Put 2-3 colored rhinestones or pearl beads on a pink base, or use a strengthening and building nail gel like the Ga&Ma Strong Gel No. 003 Powder. Then place some smaller ones around (yellow or white, shiny or transparent). You will get the effect of constellation.
