Step1: Start by applying a base coat to protect your natural nails. Then apply a coat of black polish for the base color.
Step2: take a white polish and dab the brush so that there is barely any polish left on the brush. Then use the brush to dab the remaining polish onto your nail where you want the color to be concentrated. I recommend doing it down the middle diagonally as seen below. The key is to have little polish on that brush. This will creating a fake sponged look.
Step3: repeat this "fake sponging technique" using a little bit of blue polish. Dab the polish around the white that you did earlier. It's ok to cover up the white a little bit, and it's also ok to leave the white showing. Just do whatever feels right to you. Here's what mine looked like at this stage. 
Step4: repeat step 3 using a purple nail polish. Then use a pink polish with the same technique. You can actually use any colors you like, but I think that blue, purple, and pink look the most realistic. 
Step5: redo the white polish using the same technique as above, but with even less polish on the brush! Make the white as thin as possible down the middle of the Galaxy. 
Step6: apply a silver glitter polish to smooth up the look. 
Step7: use the white polish with a toothpick to add some dots and "stars," which are essentially just crosses. 
Step8: apply another glitter polish, then apply a top coat. Finish off by cleaning the excess nail polish on your finger. And the look is complete! 
I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial! I have some really pretty designs coming up in the future so stay tuned. Thanks for reading and have fun painting your nails!
