Shimmering Starry Night
For a classic starry night effect, dab a small amount of white acrylic paint onto a makeup sponge. Gently pat the sponge onto your nails, creating a random pattern of stars. Finish with a glossy top coat to enhance the shimmer.

Galactic Swirls
Mix your favorite navy blue and white nail polishes on a makeup palette. Swirl the colors together using a dotting tool or a brush to create a mesmerizing galactic effect. Finish with a generous layer of holographic top coat for an otherworldly finish.
