Fancy Half Moon Manicure


Today, I have a super easy nail art tutorial for you. I wasn't even planning on doing any sort of nail art today, but it just happened. It's a basic half moon mani but with some extra polka dots. Here we go!


Step 1:

Choose 2 colors (I used 2 Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polishes called "Bubblegum Pink" and "Mint Sorbet") to start with, painting your index, middle, and pinky fingers with one color and your thumb and ring finger with the other.

Step 2:

After your base color is completely dry, and I mean COMPLETELY, use the little reinforcement circle stickers used for notebook paper to cover a rounded area at the cuticle and paint the remaining area with the opposite color. While that cost is still wet, immediately remove the sticker.

Step 3:

Take white polish on a dotting tool and make white dots along the line where the colors meet. I think this step really pulls the manicure together and makes it look extra pretty and girly. Now add your favorite top coat and you're done!

Have fun recreating this manicure however you'd like and use #PolishAndBeyond so I can see your BEAUTIFUL recreations. <3
