31DC2012: Day 19, Galaxy Nails

For galaxy nails day today, I (of course) wanted to do something a little bit outside of the box. I've done galaxy nails pretty recently and was really happy with the outcome, so I thought I'd go in a bit of a different direction this time.

I chose to depict the way stars look just as a ship enters hyperspace (in science fiction like Star Wars).

It was really quite difficult to do these on such a small scale. To try to make things easier, I would do the lines in white and then go back in with more black to make them straighter, thinner, and cleaner. Still, it's not quite as clean as my perfectionist heart wants.

The white used in this look is OPI Alpine Snow and the black is OPI Black Onyx.

Last year's galaxy nails were my first attempt at the style. You can also take a look at upcoming challenge prompts here.
