Nailed It! Half Moon Nail Tutorial

We just discovered how to do one of the coolest nail art designs. We have been eyeing those two tone half moon nails all over Insta. It’s so simple we were like “what?”

You are gonna need about 30 minutes including dry time.

2 polish colors, preferably a light or pastel color and one medium to dark color. Choosing is gonna be OH SO FUN! We love color combos like white and yellow or mint green and turquoise. Pastel pink and Kelly green, the list goes on and on… We chose coral, a brown-grey, and metallic blue-grey.

Secret weapon? Get to your nearest office supply store and grab those dime sized circle shaped sticker labels. That’s right, its that easy!

Once your nails are prepped to your liking and ready to polish, apply your first coat of the lighter color. If you are super light handed, go ahead and do two coats.

WAIT WAIT WAIT. Make sure you have waited until your nails are completely dry.

Get your sticker labels out. Stick one label at the base of each nail creating a half moon shape.

Take your darker polish and do 2 coats. Again, wait until your nails are completely dry.

Be super gentle and carefully remove each sticker.

VIOLA! You now have the bangin’ est nails. What a pro!

Show us your color combos.
