MM Galaxy Using Orly Kelli's Galaxy Collection

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be creating a very simple galaxy nail design using the polishes from the Orly Kelli's Galaxy collection. This collection did come out a few months ago, as of doing this post these polishes are still available on the website. When this collection came out and I punched it, right away I wanted to do a galaxy design, it just took me a while to do said design, and of course Kelli Marissa bet me to it. Also I do want to give Kelli Marissa some credit, I did get this idea from her and made it my own in some way. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this little galaxy on your nails.

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.

Polishes- Orly- Kelli's Anti- Matter, Kelli's Galaxy, Kelli's Solstice (All 3 polishes from Kelli's Galaxy Trio/ Remix Trio), Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Hard to get, Holo Taco- Flakie, and Funky Fingers- As If. 

Nail Art tools- Makeup sponge and some tweezers (not show above.) 

That's all you will need for this nail design.

Apply a top coat to clean nails and then let that dry.

Nail Polish- 

Base color polishes- 

Thumb, index, middle and pinky- A black polish that has red and blue shimmer in it, of just a plain black polish. (I used Orly- Kelli's Anti- Matter) 

Ring finger nail- a light blue (I used Kelli's Solstice) 

Let your polish dry.

For this galaxy design we will be creating a dark galaxy design on most of the nail and a light design on the ring finger. 

We will first start off with the dark galaxy design.

First we will need to take your makeup sponge and tweezers and tear off very small pieces to make our galaxy. I had about ten small pieces just in case. 

On the thumb, index, middle and pinky nail take the dark purple polish, Kelli's Galaxy and pour it on to a nail mat or a plastic bag. 

Then take your small piece of sponge with the tweezers and dab the sponge into the polish and dab a line going across the nail from one end to the other of the nail. On each nail I switched the direction of the way I started my galaxy.   

Then take another piece of sponge with your tweezers and pour a small amount to the light blue polish, Kelli's Solstice, dab that on the sides of Kelli's Galaxy, so that you can still see that polish in the middle. If needed you can always add more of the Kelli's Galaxy if that was covered up to much. 

Next take another small piece of sponge with your tweezers and pour a small amount of white, then dab that on one side of the Kelli's Solstice that we just put on the nail.

For the light version of galaxy repeat the same steps as the dark design, first using a white polish down the middle and then Kelli's Galaxy on each side of the white.

For the final touch we will take Holo Taco Flakie topper, polish this mainly on the galaxy we just made, it is also ok if we do get some on to the black part, but mainly focus the flakie topper on the galaxy. 

Lastly we will add some star glitter on the the nail, place the glitters on the nails before the Holo Taco Flakie polish dries, then right away take your top coat and apply a small amount to the stars. This help the stars to stay on the nails. 

Once your galaxy nails are ready for your next space adventure, apply a top coat to seal in your nails and to help your design to last. 

Here it the practice version. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this galaxy nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!  

PS. If you didn't notice in the title of this post I called this design MM Galaxy, that of course stand for Munchkin's Magnificent Galaxy. 😊

Orly x Kelli Marissa- Kelli's Galaxy Collection Review

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be taking a look at the new collection from the brand Orly (well the newish collection from July). This collection is a collaboration with YouTuber Kelli Marissa, she is a nail polish reviewer on YouTuber. This collection has two trio's; Kelli's Galaxy and Kelli's Galaxy Remix, I did only purchase Kelli's Galaxy Trio and two polishes from the trio set. All together I purchase five of the six polishes. There is also a glitter polish that has star glitter in it that I deiced to pass on. 

This collection did come in a small cardboard box with cute cartoon characters on it.

The special rappers on the polishes are very cute. 

Let's take a closer look at the polishes.

First we will take a look at Kelli's Solstice this a bright cyan/ light blue, that looks like it has a green reflect to it, along with some shimmer. This also remind me of an ocean blue. 

This polish covered very well in two coats. 

Second, we have Kelli's Moondust this is a fuchsia/ purple polish with a pink reflect to it, along with some shimmer. 

This also applied very well in two coats, when this dries it does have a velvet matte finish to it, I did apply a top coat to my nails that why it looks shinny. 

Third, we have Kelli's Galaxy this is a royal blue polish that has violet shimmers along with blue metallic shimmer/ flecks in it. 

This once again cover well in two coats.

Forth, we have Kelli's Anti-Matter this is a black based polish, that has a red and blue metallic shimmer/ flecks in it.

This polish has amazing coverage, it covered in one coat. Even thought it cover well in one coat I still just for good measure applied two coats. 

I personal think a black polish should always cover in one coat. Some do not cover in one and I thought this was going to be this one, because of the shimmer in it sometimes black polish do not cover as well, but I was surprised with the coverage on this one.

Lastly we have Kelli's Solar Flare this a cool toned purple with a bright turquoise shimmer in it with a metallic blue shimmer flakes in it. 

This also cover well in two coats, and has a velvet matte finish when it dries.

In conclusion I am very impressed with these polishes, and I wonder why it took me so long to try some Orly nail polish. They have great coverage and wore pretty well though out the week. Also the Orly polishes are kind of large they are .6 fl oz, 18ml. Compared to OPI 15ml 0.5oz, so you get a lot of polish in each bottle. 

As for the Kelli Marissa collection I really like the packaging and the cartoon labels on the polish are very cute. I am subscribed to to Kelli's channel and I really enjoy here nail videos, she really enjoys galaxy themed nails ad colors and this collection fits that very well.

As for my favorite, you may have guess Kelli's Solstice it my favorite. This is such a beautiful ocean blue (to me) and has great coverage, well of the polishes do.

If you are interested in this collection it is available only on Orly website, not in stores.
