A half moon manicure is a vintage nail design that has recently made a comeback. It involves painting the entire nail and leaving the lunula crescent, or the bottom half of the nail, bare, creating a subtle negative space. Here are some details on how to achieve this look:
Materials:
- Nail file
- Cuticle oil
- Nail polish base coat
- Binder hole reinforcement stickers
- Color nail polish
- Tweezers
- Nail polish clear top coat
- Cotton
Steps:
- Prep the nail and apply base coat. Allow to dry.
- Apply binder hole reinforcement stickers to the base of the nail, creating a semi-circle shape.
- Paint the entire nail with the desired color of nail polish.
- Use tweezers to carefully remove the stickers.
- Apply top coat and allow to dry.
The half moon manicure can be customized with different colors and designs, such as black French tips and gold half moons.
