Hello everyone! For my 2nd post I will be doing a nail design called Half Moon. I have seen this done many times on the internet and this will be my interpretation of this very popular design.
The polishes I used for this
design are Revlon's No chip topcoat, New York Color- Water Street Blue, OPI
Nicole- A Lit-Teal Bit of Love, and Kiss nail art stripper in Silver. I also
used hole punch stickers, that are cut in half to help with the half-moon
design.
First apply a base
coat (as stated in my first blog, I don't use a base coat, but you really
should use one). Then I applied two coats of Water Street Blue half way up the
nails, I tried this method because I like to try and use as few coats of polish
as possible so my polish will hopefully last longer.
After the Water Street Blue polish has dried, take the hole punch stickers that have been cut in half, and stick them on the nails.
Now using A Lit-Teal Bit of Love, paint the top part of the nails, it's okay if you get some polish on the stickers.
If the color does not look opaque enough add another layer of A Lit-Teal Bit of Love, I ended up adding 3 coats to make the polish look opaque enough.
This can be easily
fixed by just painting in the area that does not have enough polish. Once
everything is dry, apply a topcoat.
Here is the finished design. As a last minute choice, I decided to add a
silver line using Kiss nail art stripper to try and make the curved line show a
little bit better.
For the next time I do this
design I think it would be better to put the hole punch stickers lower, that
way the lower part will look more oval.
As with any design this this can be done with many different color combinations.
