Shining Moon Nails

 Hi Loves

I have recently become obsessed with the 1930's style manicure of doing a half moon on the inside of your nails. I decided to go all glam and try it for New Years! I did a light pink "moon" with a glittery silver/gold top. So easy to do and looks fun and different!

I filed my nails first, I always like a square shape

 You can use the french manicure guidelines or the hole reinforcements like I did (got mine at Target) to help make the moon shape.

The nail polish color I used for the "moon" part is "Ice and Desire" by Duri (not sure where they sell this brand anymore but I ordered mine on Amazon.com); after I put this nail color on I waited about an hour to make sure they were 100% dry

 I put the silver color on first then followed by the gold and waited about 20 min for them to dry. Then I started to remove the hole reinforcements (my "moon" guides). As you can see I wasn't worried about polishing my nail perfectly because I wanted to make sure I got as close to the skin as possible. Then I used a Q-Tip and nail polish remover to remove any excess nail polish.

 ..and voila- Fabulous Glittery Nails!
