Since my April Nails post I’ve
had a few repins on Pinterest of my Half Moon manicure I thought I’d do a
tutorial. So here it is!
You will need;
Base coat
Top coat
2 Nail polishes in colours that complement
each other
Page hole Re-Inforcers
2) Paint
a coat of polish onto your nails. This layer of polish will be your half-moon
colour. Let the polish dry for a few
minutes.
3) Get
your hole re-inforcers ready I brought clear when I got them because they were
cheaper than the white ones so unfortunately not great to show you this on.
4) Place
the re-inforcer over your nail so it only covers the lower part of your nail. I
have outlined the re-inforcer on the photo so that you can see how I place
mine.
5) Paint
the top half of your nail, you can paint onto the re-inforcer slightly just don’t
go below it or paint the entire nail or you won’t get the desired effect.
6) Let
your nails dry for a few minutes before carefully removing the re-inforcers.
Paint a coat of Top Coat on and you’re good to go!
Experiment with colour, I think I’ve
done pretty much every colour combination I can think of since discovering this
technique. Light colours in the half moon dark on the ends and vice-versa.
Personally I’m a fan of doing metallic for my half-moon as it’s a subtle way of
wearing the trend.
What do you think? Will you be
trying this out? If you do send me a link so i can see your wonderful creations!
