Half Moon Manicure Tutorial


1: Paint your nails with a base coat to prevent staining.
2: Paint your nails with a white base until it is opaque.
3: After the white coat is completely dry, place paper reinforcement stickers about 1/3 from the top of the nail. The stickers can be found at office supply stores, but I got mine from CVS.
4: Paint your nails a contrasting color. After one minute, carefully peel the reinforcement sticker off of your nail. You should be left with a curved half moon shape.
5: To create the optional polka dots, place a few drops of nail polish on a paper plate or other surface. Dip a mechanical pencil into the polish and begin dotting your nails. To create the best effect, make one row of dots and then create the second row by dotting in between the first row of dots.
6: Use a top coat to prevent your polish from chipping.
