Tutorial: Half Moon Manicure

Gray is the current IT-colour for the fall/winter season! Spotted on runways, all the way to hit shows like 90210, this elegant colour is back! If gray is too dull a colour for you, pump it up with a metallic colour as shown in this half moon manicure technique ;)
Steps:
1. Paint whole nail the base colour (gold). Leave to dry.
2. Place reinforcement tape/ round labeling sticker on bottom 1/3 of the nail securely. Paint the other colour (gray) on the exposed 2/3 of the nail.
3. Allow some time for it to dry partially. SLOWLY remove the tape.
4. Seal in with top coat.

Tips: 
A solid color paired with a shimmery/metallic color works best. Two solid colors work well too.
Possible combinations: turquoise & a nude color; liquid silver & black; deep red & beigh; sea green & gold

Polishes used:
Gray: self-mixed frankenpolish
Gold: Faceshop GL111
Base coat and top coat by Faceshop

Sorry about the poor lighting and smudges around the skin. Trust me when I say it looks way better under the sun ;)
