Midnight Sky Nails

My Perfect Rock Star Nails

These nails are perfect for a night out to a rock concert or to match a dark sexy outfit! I created these nails to go to the Black Sabbath gig so they would match my makeup and outfit.

I put together this dark and sparkly manicure inspired by colours the band brings to my mind, thus I used a black base, dark purple and fuchsia glitter with a french tip style glitter gradient. The end result was a nebula looking galaxy-esque effect and made me think of the night sky.

I really love the fuchsia glitter polish, Different Dimension A Love Hue, because it's colour is beautiful and the holographic hex glitter is to die for. Different Dimension custom blend polishes can be found on esty from Missi Barry's Etsy store here.

I hope you enjoy the macro pictures below.
