My Galaxy Nails

Here are the images from my attempt at Galaxy Nails

I want to incorporate nails into one of my looks as I am a Bio Sculpture trained nail technician and also looking at previous Illamasqua collections nails are featured alot in the final photos and they always bring out new nail varnishes and always make video tutorials to create nail art. I thought as galaxy nails are popular some products to come out with my campaign could be a set of nail varnishes and then they could do a video to create Galaxy Nails using their new nail polishes. 

Here are the videos I watched on tutorials of how to create galaxy nails.

Galaxy Hair

Here are the images I have found of galaxy inspired hair on Pinterest however these are dyed, I could create this look using colour hair sprays or hair chalks which are in fashion now as pastel hair colours are now in fashion. I did go out and buy a dark purple/red however when I put it on my model it did not look right at all and look really fake. I want to do a hairstyle that shows the techniques I have learnt in class.

I typed Galaxy into Pinterest to generate some makeup ideas here are the images I have found; 

I really like some of these looks my favourite is the 3rd one down, I love the colours they've used and how they've used crystals on their face, I think I am inspired to use crystals on mine.

I have been brainstorming more ideas and have come up with the theme galaxy, I thought this would be a good idea for a collection and Illamasqua could create a story to go with this collection. I have started off my research by looking at images of galaxies and the main colours in a galaxy. 

From looking at these images the two main colours that jump out at me are purple and a light colour which if in makeup I would use a light white shimmer/silver such as MACs vanilla pigment. Also the other thing that really stands out at me is how the colours mix, so with makeup this would be all about blending the colours together which is s technique I have been practising in class recently. 

2 main colours I would use are;

• Purple
• Silver
