While I grew up with Star Wars, Star Trek TNG reruns slipped in as I got older and all of Trek stole my heart. The hopeful, exploration and science driven view of what society COULD BE that is the core of Star Trek was a brilliant contrast to the wild west laser gun space opera of Star Wars.

A new Trek show "Starfleet Academy" came out yesterday and it was so refreshing having it on my screen again…so I needed to paint some Trek! Ive done the TNG, DS9, and VOY uniforms and while I could have done some of the newer ones…the TNG Uniforms are just so nostalgic for me that I went back to 2023 and one of my first manis on my insta for a minor refresh. "Nature is infinite diversity in infinite combinations…its about time we celebrate that in one another." 🖖💙💛❤️

    I love all your nail art pics, but this? THIS?!

    AMAZEBALLS!

    I’ve been a fan of Trek since the early 90s or so, grew up on TNG and old reruns of the Original Series. It’s been a special interest of mine for literally decades now 😄

    I knew you were skilled, and clearly had good taste, but this really cements it, friend!

    Live long and prosper 🖖

    As if I couldn’t love you any more, love seeing you combine my passions of nail polish and trek

    Star Trek TNG and Voyager were my favorites! I love your tribute to an outstanding franchise!

    The red jacket nail would just break all the time 😭

    But seriously tho, killer idea

    TNG is one of the best shows ever!!! I would love to know who your favorite character is: while I love them all dearly, Data and Wesley have a special place in my heart!

    I love this!! (And Starfleet Academy is so good so far!) Yesterday my Fandom Flakies for Star Trek arrived and I am loving all this Trek. 🪐

    this is so good! even the right # of pips for the ranks of some of my fav characters. (picard, data, dr crusher)

    So good. As a fellow Trekkie and with TNG also being my fave, this really warmed my heart to see this morning 🖖

  12. Ahhh this is so cool!!! I have been rewatching TNG recently and it has been so much fun, that show is straight comfort for me.

    Amazing, the design is perfect!! I’m so jealous I don’t have the skill nor patience to do this but this is the first nail art I’ve seen that I really want to try. If only I had a replicator 😭
