Ensure even coverage and allow the polish to dry completely.

Dab the makeup sponge into the deep blue polish and lightly tap it onto the nails, focusing on the tips.
Repeat with purple and red polishes, blending them slightly over the blue layer.
For added depth, use a dotting tool to create small dots of different colors representing stars.

Using a nail art brush, apply the gold nail polish to create intricate patterns on one of the nails.
Allow the gold detailing to dry completely before proceeding.

Apply a top coat to protect the design and add shine.
Cure the top coat if using gel polish, and allow to dry if using regular polish.

Use a cleanup brush dipped in nail polish remover to correct any mistakes around the cuticles.
Wipe down the nails to remove any excess polish.

Use a latex barrier around the nails to make cleanup easier.

Experiment with different colors to create a custom galaxy effect.

Try varying the density of the colors for different layers of stars.
