So now it’s easier than ever to look at the stars by painting astral landscapes on your fingers inspired by geodes, deserts and constellations.
If you want to get away from the boring nudes and the playing-it-safe French tips, you can go all out on colours with iridescent, chromatic and cosmic art to create mesmerising nail designs.
Here are some of our favourite designs we found online. Use them as inspiration for designing your own nail art designs!
Turquoise Geodes
Designed perfectly to look like geodes, this stunning combination of silver, green glitter and metallic gold nails are mesmerising.
Gold Tips, Gold Stars
These nails are a stunning revision of the classic french tip – the stars are everything! And yet the look is wearable all day and all year.
Brown Tone Galaxy Swirl
Not only does this design look absolutely stunning but it could actually pass for everyday nails you could blend into almost any look – especially for these autumn months.
Galaxy Swirl
It’s giving sky disco with a punch, a colourful and louder version of the nails before.
Purple Glitz
Just gorgeous! I love the shimmery effect of this colour adding a bit of personality to a simple manicure.
Night Desert
Sure, the desert will make you think of cacti, rattlesnakes and sand, but this somewhat simpler design of multi-tone mountain peaks has an ultra autumn feeling.
Navy Constellation
Astrology lovers will love these simple designs that replicate zodiac star patterns. Add some foil stars or pearls to add some dimension.
Black Magic
The bold iridescent confetti flakes against the black makes this nail design pop!
These are super cute! Love the gold tips with the stars!
