2009 Fall and 2010 Winter Nail Trend - Half Moon Manicure. The half moon manicure is taking the fashion and beauty world by storm, it's a new look in nails and everyone is willing to try it. After all it's a twist to the classic look of french tips so why not try it on your nails. Designers such as Christian Dior, Thakoon and Ruffian have all tried the looks in their shows and now you can too!

Step By Step How to Get the Look of A Half Moon Manicure

1.  Apply a base coat which will prevent your nails from changing their natural colour.
2. Apply a coat of  white nail varnish ( or another other color you like) and leave for at least 20 mins.  It’s very important to wait until it’s dry as the next step is to apply a nail guide sticker along the half moons, or just make your own tip line (practice makes perfect!).
3. Paint your nails black ( or any color you like that goes with the orginal color you picked) to your half moons, the sticker will protect areas you want paint free. Give the nail polish several minutes to dry, and then slowly remove the sticker.
4. When your nails are dry apply a coverage of top coat so your nails last longer.
