Space themed party coming up? Or maybe you are going to visit the planetarium? Or just want something out of the ordinary? Perhaps a "cosmic" manicure is exactly what you are looking for. Of course, for an unusual painting, you can go to the salon to the master. Or you can be patient, turn on your imagination and do everything at home, with your own hands.
Varnishes and necessary tools
It's only the sky that's blue when viewed from Earth. And space is painted with completely different colors. We need the following colors:
- black;
- purple;
- blue;
- white;
- silver.
These are the primary colors, you can use others besides them. For example, pink and some shades of green will fit well into the concept. Prepare at least 3-4 colors of varnishes from this list before you start doing a "cosmic" manicure. Glitter or sequins will not be superfluous.
The surface of the nails can be covered with an additional layer of clear varnish to smooth out any irregularities. You can also use a fixative varnish - it will extend the service lifemanicure.
A thin brush, a foam applicator, a needle will come in handy. If desired, you can use small rhinestones that look like stars.
Manicure "Cosmos"
Finish your nails with black polish. When it dries, you can proceed to the "space" decor. Apply purple polish to the applicator, drip a few small drops of blue around the edge. Smear the border between them with a needle. Apply to the nail and print, being careful not to stain the skin around. Do the same with other nails. Let the polish dry.
At this stage, you can diversify the manicure a little. The starry sky sparkles, and nails can sparkle too. Make a few strokes of glitter polish, imitating a scattering of stars.
Extraterrestrial civilization
Great idea for a space-themed manicure with an alien theme. Its popularization was greatly facilitated by the cinema and the abundance of computer games about aliens. And drawing an alien is not difficult at all - they have flat faces of a light shade, large black eyes, small mouths. Even a child can do this.
You can put one alien guest on each nail or make their portraits on 2-3 nails, and decorate the rest in the appropriate style. Paint them with stars, crescents, flying saucers.
Parade of planets
8 planets, distant Pluto, which was also considered a planet not so long ago, and the Sun is not an idea to createmanicure on the theme "Space"? All of the above is just enough for all 10 nails. Before you get started, you can look into the astronomical atlas, but stylization is quite suitable for it. In any case, it will not be possible to maintain the scale, because against the background of the huge Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will be just imperceptible points.
Therefore, the color scheme can not be too strictly adhered to. We all remember that Mars is red, and the Earth is green-blue, while the rest of the celestial bodies can be painted as you wish. Don't forget Saturn's rings!
Constellations
Some people like to complement the "cosmic" manicure with images of constellations. Drawing them is easy: put the dots-stars and connect them with thin white lines. This pattern looks very impressive on a black, dark blue or dark purple background. You can make the starry sky as described above.
By the way, stars can be not only dots of white or silver lacquer, but also small rhinestones, sparkles, drops of liquid crystal.
Decals
How to make a "space" manicure at home for those who cannot boast of outstanding artistic abilities? It's simple - use ready-made motives on the theme of space, which are sold in special stores in huge quantities.
Before you start decorating, cover your nails with a light-colored varnishblue, white or pink. Prepare a small container of water. Cut out the pictures. Immerse them one by one in water with tweezers, let's soak, transfer the pictures to your nails. Once dry, coat them with a clear coat.
Manicure with the help of such pictures has a number of advantages. Do it quickly, and the result looks neat and impressive. It is hardly possible to draw such small details so beautifully and in detail. Translation pictures are very common, they can be purchased at any specialized store for nail art for a penny.
This idea is often used by gel manicure wearers. The coating lasts for a long time, there is no need to renew it even once a week. So that neutrally colored nails do not get bored, you can at least update them every day with boring translations.
Special "space" polish
There are many products on the market for nail design products with which you can make a wonderful manicure "Cosmos" yourself. For example, varnishes with sparkles. They differ from the usual color and shape of inclusions. They can be made in the form of suns, stars, planets. The flawed moon shape is popular.
These nail polishes can be applied directly to nails or over any base color.
Adhesive elements

They are made from lightweightplastic, although outwardly they may look like metal. In fact, such accessories do not make the manicure heavier. Of course, if you do not stick them on your nails in too many quantities.
Many of them have an adhesive base, and some can be easily glued on wet varnish or special glue.
