FingerFood's Theme Buffet - Negative Space

Hi all!

This week's theme is Negative Space. This usually means you leave part of your nail naked (like I did here). But I looked at the words and thought... space... in negative. Now a negative of a photo throws the colours around, just like the old fashioned negatives of those film rolls used to be! Therefore, I present to you... space nails (aka galaxy) in negative!

Today's polishes:

• Sinful Colors - 101 Snow Me White
• Rimmel - 711 Rain Rain Go Away
• W7 - 28 Black

I tried to find a photo through google that was a negative of a space picture, but had no luck, so I just picked one (this one here), made a negative of it myself and used that as inspiration. Doesn't it look strange? White space with black stars? But it does work. I switched the colours on my mani as well, and if you ignore the funky blue fingers you can actually see a normal galaxy mani! I explicitly did not use a very colourful one, as that would just make it strange.

Base is Snow Me White, 2 coats. Then I mixed my Rain Rain Go Away with white to make it paler and dabbed it on with a tiny piece of make up sponge. I also mixed it with black to make it more grey and dabbed away. I dabbed carefully with my black polish as well. I used the pointy end of a needle/pin to make the tiny black dots and painted the bigger starts with a nail art brush. When it all dried I added top coat to seal it in.

Of course the next day a corner of my thumb nail snapped off while I was loading groceries into my car. Just my luck.

So, what do you think of this more literal version of negative space?
