Pastel Galaxy Nail Art

I have got back into the swing of more detailed nail art over the past few weeks.  I have been doing some more simple things recently, and whilst pretty, I haven't felt overly inspired.  This week I decided to break out lots of shimmery pastel colours and some brights to create a fun pastel galaxy.

I had always thought galaxy nails would be difficult to do, until I had a go myself using more typical purple shades.  You can see them here.  This time around I wanted to try them them in more spring friendly colours, so as I said, I raided my shimmers and brights to see what I could come up with.

Ciaté: Regatta

I've only tried one other Ciaté colour before (I know shock horror) which was a mini one that came with Marie Claire magazine a while ago but I really liked it, so when I saw this beauty in TK Maxx I knew I had to get it, along with some other super polish finds as well of course!

I got this full sized paint pot of Regatta which is such a pretty denim blue with shimmer, plus who can resit that cute little bow?  The application was so smooth and the formula is amazing.  I could have just left this at one coat, but I always like to use two for longevity.  

I barely had to do any clean up because the brush was so precise it meant that I made hardly any mess.  I tend to find painting with dark colours is often more tricky, but it wasn't the case here.  I really like that this is a more subtle blue rather than an electric blue.  In some lights it almost looks like a steely grey/blue making it a brilliant addition to my polish collection.  Although I think I could make any polish feel quite a home amongst my other bottles of pretties!

Do you have any Ciaté favourites that you would recommend?  It was just a quick one this week to show off this gem, but I've got a few more reviews coming up soon and an exciting triplet design to look out for so come back soon.

Thanks for stopping by
