Alright, cosmic cuties, today we’re talking all things celestial nail designs and celestial nail art!

If you’ve been seeing those dreamy, cosmic, starry, moon-kissed manicures floating around, and wanted to get some galactic nail ideas for your next visit to the salon, you’ve come to the right place.

Celestial nails aren’t just pretty; they’re like wearing a tiny, magical sky on your fingertips and are perfect for an ethereal aesthetic.

What Are Celestial Nails?

Celestial nails are any nail art designs that draw inspiration from the cosmos. Think:

Stars: Tiny twinkles, constellations, shooting stars—the works!
Moons: Celestial nails with crescent moons, full moons, lunar phases—so dreamy.
Suns: Radiant suns, sunbursts, golden glows—bright and beautiful.
Planets: Little orbs of color, swirling nebulas, galactic vibes—out of this world.
Glitter and Shimmer: Because the galaxy from our view is sparkly!
Eyes: Eyes can also represent awareness, intuition, and a connection to higher realms, aligning with the ethereal nature of celestial themes.
Signs of the Zodiac: Zodiac signs are used in celestial nails because they offer a personalized and visually appealing way to connect your horoscope into your cosmic nail theme.

Why Are Sun, Moon and Star Celestial Nails So Pretty?

They’re Whimsical: Celestial nails add a touch of magic to your everyday look.
They’re Versatile: You can go subtle with tiny stars or bold with a full-on galaxy design.
They’re Trendy: Celestial themes are super popular right now, so you’ll be right on trend.
They are just plain fun! Who doesn’t want to look down at their hands and see little stars?

How to Get Your Own Celestial Nail Art:

Here’s a simplified guide on how to do celestial nail art, although personally, I’ll be leaving my celestial nails to salon professionals!

Base:
- Start with a dark base color like navy, black, or deep purple for a dramatic look. Or, try a nude or light pink for a softer vibe.
- Gel polish is a great option for longer-lasting results.
Stars and Moons:
- For simple stars, use a thin nail art brush or a dotting tool with white or gold polish.
- Nail art stickers or stencils are your friends! They make creating intricate designs super easy.
- For a sparkly effect, add some glitter polish or loose glitter.
Adding Details:
- Use a fine brush to add details like constellation lines or shading to your moons.
- Metallic polishes in gold, silver, and bronze add a beautiful cosmic shimmer.
Top Coat:
- Seal your design with a glossy top coat for a smooth, shiny finish.
