Half-Moon Mani Tutorial

Hey Guys!
I just have a quick tip for you all. I always thought this was obvious but I realized that not everyone thinks of this. So have you ever wondered how to do the half-moon manicure without screwing up and messing up the circular shape? Well here's how :) (btw plz excuse the bad "photoshop" this is just a tutorial/tip I threw together pretty quickly)

You will need just nail polish of your choice and loose leaf reinforcements. (from staples)
(used to keep loose leaf holes from ripping)
FINAL PRODUCT: This is what your half-moon manicure might turn out like.
(hands are from the courtesy of my sister) 


Okay Ill just show how its done from one nail. so paint on your polish. Whatever color you want your half-moon to be.
When nail polish is FULLY DRIED paste on the reinforcement as shown above. Move it up or down according to the size you want your half moon to be. Make sure it sticks.
Paint the black polish over the nail. It does not matter if you go over the reinforcement as long as you are careful not to get any polish onto the half-moon. Rip off after 8 seconds. carefully If you leave it on too long and It dries along with the reinforcement, things will not look pretty.


And it should look like like this with the reinforcement off! It does not have to be perfect, BUT CLOSE  lol
 kekeke XD

Voila! You're finished! You can decorate however you want. In this case: stars
Btw the tip box shows a helpful tip. cut the reinforcement in 2 and use one for each finger! Great if you don't want to waste the other side!

LAST WORDS
Note: This awkward pose makes the fingers really weird. In reality my sisters hands are much nicer.
