What is a moon manicure?

Published in Nail Art 1 min read

A moon manicure, also known as a reverse French manicure, is a nail art design where the lunula (the moon-shaped area at the base of the nail) is emphasized with a different color than the rest of the nail.

How to Create a Moon Manicure:

Based on the provided reference from a YouTube video titled "Half Moon Manicure Nail Art", here's how you can achieve this look:

  1. Apply a Base Color: This color will highlight the lunula. In the video example, white polish is used. Ensure it's completely dry.
  2. Use Stickers or Guides: Place stickers or guides to define the moon shape at the base of your nails. This helps create a clean, crisp line.
  3. Apply the Main Color: Paint the rest of your nail with your desired main color. The video uses black polish. Ensure this layer is also completely dry.
  4. Remove the Stickers: Carefully remove the stickers to reveal the moon design.
