How to do a CANDY-COLORED HALF-MOON MANICURE



If you've seen a half-moon manicure, you've probably wondered how to master the look without the skills of a pro manicurist. We're here to show you how to do it. All you need are two perfect-for-summer nail polish shades, binder stickers, and a little (sneaky) know-how.
What you need:
  • Base coat. Try: Essie Feed Me Hydrating Treatment Base Coat.
  • Top coat. Try: L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail in Top of the Line.
  • Coral nail polish. Try: Butter London 3 Free Nail Lacquer in Trout Pout.
  • Mint nail polish. Try: Essie Nail Color in Mint Candy Apple.
  • Round binder stickers. Try: Avery Reinforcements for Hole-Punched Pages.
How to do it:
  • Step 1: Apply a base coat and follow with two coats of the mint nail polish. Tip: Do this step the night before to save time.
  • Step 2: Once your nails are completely dry, place a binder sticker at the base of each nail just beyond the area where your natural moon would end.
  • Step 3: Paint two coats of the coral shade on each nail above the top edge of the binder stickers.
  • Step 4: When polish is dry, remove the binder stickers to reveal your half moon design.
  • Step 5: Finish with clear top coat.
