Howdy all! Lets see how this blogging thing worked again =) I'll post a little update on the bottom, but this is a nail blog of course, so let's start with that! I recently received some great plates from Messy Mansion, and I'll post more about those soon, but here's a mani done with one of them already :)
It doesn't show as well on my pics, but it looked so sparkly irl, couldn't stop looking at different angles! ♥ I started with a black base and I wanted the image to be the main thing here, so I sponged some spots with a dark blue and a dark purple shimmer, then sponged more spots with a subtle silver glitter, a blue glitter, a silver glitter with purple shimmer, and a blue/green/yellow fine glitter.
I've never done galaxy nails before, but for the real galaxy nails I'd use brighter polishes and sponge a little less subtle, this mani got me eager to try that sometime :)
These are the sponges I used to create little spots, they're from BornPrettyStore and work great for any kind of sponged mani! I used the pointy side of a sponge for the spots, for gradient nails I'd use the bottom part. And I'd just cut off the used part, so these sponges will last for a while :)
They cost $0,99 for 3 of them, and you can find them here! Don't forget to use coupon code ABJ61 for 10% off!
Thanks for looking! :)

Personal update below:
Right, so here's a little update as to why I haven't been as active lately (and have less active periods here and there). The last 6 months or so have been pretty weird, and even though I find it scary to share a bit, my blog is almost 4 years now (next month! :)) and I'd like to open up a bit here.
When I was 18 I had some quick tests and within a day I got a diagnose, but because of who ordered those tests, we never really doubted the diagnose or questionned how the tests were done. But throughout the years I started questioning things more and more, I kept encountering issues that weren't part of what I was supposed to have, and things from that diagnose didn't match with me anymore, but getting tested again scared me big time. Last year I read a bit about a form of autism, and I found myself crying because it was all so very familiar. So I finally took the step, and got tested again. This time they were much more intense, my family got involved in the tests as well, and it took a lot more testing, questions, forms to answer, etc.
The result was that my old diagnose wasn't correct and instead I have PDD-NOS, which is one of the Autism Spectrum Disorders. A lot of things fell into place, and are still falling into place, not just for me but also for my family, all the way back to when I was very young. At the same time, I had to get used to the new diagnose, and learn what's a part of that, and what's a part of me. I also felt that that old diagnose, which I had for 13 years, was kind of hopeless, and now all of a sudden I have possibilities, things that can be improved, worked on, ... My future has brightened up a lot, which is awesome but well weird at the same time! :)
So I'm very happy with the new (and how I feel it, finally correct) diagnose -as far as you can be happy about a diagnose of course :P- but it also took me a lot of "what if I got the right one from the start, what would my life look like now"-thinking. That's going better now, but still a thought that pops up at times.
Besides that, I also had to say goodbye to my dear Bindi not long after the diagnose, you guys have been such a great support back then which I'm still very thankful for! I still miss Bindi so much, and saying goodbye to her had a big impact on my life. Add some trips to Sweden, having to do some big things in the house, and that I wanted to wear polish that I felt like (instead of thinking, I already posted this, lets not wear it) and maybe you can understand a bit why blogging was at a low spot in my life for a while! I think it will be more often, it's one of the first things that I'm less active with when it's not going as well with me or when I have other things on my mind, which has happened in the past as well. Ah well, now you know :)
Essence Black Is Back sponged with Catrice Times Square At Midnight, Catrice En Vogue, Essence glitter top coat, Smitten Polish Radiantly Royal, 2True no.2 and a nameless 2B polish, then stamped with Konad White and Messy Mansion plate MM33.
