Half Moon Nail Art
Ahh week three of university went by so quickly – I can’t believe that October is just around the corner. I only had one class today, and it ended at 10 – however by the time my commute was over, I arrived at home by twelve. I decided to start my weekend off with a new nail art design. Last week, I went with a simple metallic blue manicure, but I got so bored of that and started picking at the nail polish.
This upcoming weeks nails are half moon nails! I am so in love with the colours I picked for the design, they compliment each other so well because they’re both pastel colours.
Polishes used in this design were: L’oreal One stop base, L’oreal nail polish in the shade “Penthouse” and ELF nail polish in the shade “Innocent. You will also need ring reinforcements (stickers you put on torn sheets) in order to create the half moon design. If you have a sturdy hand and are experienced with nail art brushes, you can also create the designs by using your brushes. I’m still getting used to mine, so the ring reinforcements are ideal.
Steps to creating the design:
1. Apply that base coat girls!
2. Select two colours. Pick one as your half moon color – in this case mine is pink!
3. Once your half moon colour has dried, apply your ring reinforcement sticker (you might want to cut it in half to reduce bumpiness). Once you’ve applied your sticker, simply paint the rest of your nail your second colour.
4. When your second colour has dried, simply peel off your ring reinforcement sticker – and you’ll be done!
Here’s how mine turned out:
