The half-moon manicure dates back to the 1920s. The look involves reversing the traditional French Manicure. Instead of white tips, the inner half moon shape at the base of your nail is white or left bare. This look is most often worn by Dita Von Teese. You can make your own rules and use any color you would like. Check out these color combos...

ReplyDeleteI love this look. An acrylic nail works well as a guide I've found. I suck at doing anything like this freehand.
