Galaxy Nails in Honor of 1998 QE2

Today the Near-Earth asteroid, 1998 QE2, will be making a fly by. I'm a huge geek, and I love space, so I figured this was as good a time as any to finally sit down and do some galaxy nails.

Galaxy nails are something I've attempted before but they never came out exactly as I'd hoped they would... Which is why I've never posted any here. So, instead of going all out and risking another messy failure, I decided to just stick to the basics.

Concrete

I've seen many manicures that are described as looking like concrete or asphalt, but they're usually just a grey base with some sort of flaky or glitter applied. I wanted to try something a little rougher, something with a bit more dimension.
