Widely used in the 1920s, the half-moon or inverted French-style nail was successful among women and was adopted by pin ups. Time went by and they came back with everything to win back women who love to wear the fashion trends in nails. Among celebrities, the style has already been adopted and is often seen on the nails of Dita von Teese.
The idea is to make the concave part of the cuticle colorless, so the nails get a vintage style. The most commonly used colors for the half moon style are dark or reddish tones. They give more contrast and charm to the female hands.
How to do the half moon nail
First we must mark with a thin line of nail polish all the nails, forming a half moon following the natural design. Many women have this more marked design, so it is easier to follow.
If you have difficulty or want more convenience to make the half moon, a great tip is to use round stickers as a template.
Apply the nail polish only on the part of the nails above the line and then gently smooth the excess with a toothpick and acetone. Finally, apply an extra-gloss nail polish.
The half moon style nail is very easy and quick to make, you only need to be firm in your hands so that the half moon shapes are the same size and be very careful not to blur the white space. Enjoy fashion is back and bet on retro style nails.
