Got its name moon manicure, firstly, because of the similarity of his design with a crescent moon, and secondly, from the name of the lower part of the nail - lunula. Another name for this coloring nails - "Hollywood jacket." Indeed, the moon manicure is very similar to the classic French, but the main difference is that the paint does not cover another color nail tip and its base. Furthermore, such a nail strip to be more circular than the "french".
Such a manicure quite easy to perform at home. For this you need a varnish of different colors (better contrast) and rounded bars.
To start Bring hands in order. Nails and cuticle should look perfect, otherwise all efforts will be in vain - as the "french" moon manicure looks good only on well-groomed nails.
Give your nails a desired shape using a nail file. It can be round or slightly pointed, depending on the effect you want to achieve.
Then put on your nails a base for paint and let it dry. This step can be skipped, but then nails will not seem so smooth and even. After that you can act in two ways.
First, cover the nail varnish color that will be down to the lunula, give a varnish to dry. After that, place the strips on the nails and paint them a different color upper part. Again let dry.
Second, cover the nail base color, take a thin brush for manicure and a different color paint crescents at the bottom of the nail.
In the moon manicure can endlessly experiment with color combinations and a crescent shape. You can increase the number of bands and colors, and you can add pictures, rhinestones or sequins. All depends only on your desire and the case in which you decide to try out a new kind of manicure. To work better to choose low-key colors, but for a party, you can not feel sorry for paints and glitter.
