Mix up a 50:50 mix of turquoise acrylic paint (I used Pebeo Turquoise Dyna Iridescent) with water in a cup so it is thinned down enough for spattering with a toothbrush. Flick small spatters of turquoise paint with a toothbrush across the egg to represent the galaxy. Gently sponge off any excess paint. Leave to dry.
Repeat the above flicking technique this time using using pink acrylic watered down. Leave to dry.
Apply small random dots and blobs of Mixtion Gilding Paste to represent stars. Leave to dry (less than an hour) until the glue goes from white to transparent and feels tacky.
Finish off applying silver paint sparingly on a sponge here and there to enhance the galaxy like effect.
