I believe that would be such a sight for sore eyes. Although it would be a lot harder to sleep at night because it would feel like it’s the daytime, hey, you can’t have it all.
#9: Purple Sky
Purple stylish nails for my purple color lovers. Do you know that in China, the Milky Way is known as ‘the silver river’?

Perfect example that the details make the whole picture.

#17: Red Sky
This red nail color is sexy and chic looking. With these nails, you will look like a true bold queen. They look like they’ve spent an eternity at the galaxy and have stuck around at the Milky Way a lot more than the others. By the way, in 1940 a cartoon called ”The Milky Way” became the first non-Disney animated movie to win an Oscar. So in honor of that movie, you should slay the milky way nails.
#18: Unbelievable Colors
Unbelievably bright and vivid colors are making this galaxy nail design so irresistible. In order to have everything this pretty and detailed out, you should go to the salon for the ultimate results.

Sometimes classic galaxy nails can look classy. Speaking of classics, do you know that not even one single classical Milky Way picture isn’t real? Any photo you’ve ever seen of the Milky Way from space is either of another galaxy or an artist’s rendition. We’re sat inside the galaxy so obviously cannot take an aerial view. Sad, but true.
