This one consists of Sally Hansen - Commander in Chic for the moons and OPI - You Don't Know Jacques! MATTE for the rest of the nail. They are so close it color! YDKJ is a bit darker and after a day of wear, as the matte gets more satiny and smooth, it gets even darker.
This one is a bit more subtle. It is Zoya - Goldie for the moons and OPI - Dazzled By Gold for the rest.
And this one! I love this one. This is Rescue Beauty Lounge - Underwear for the moons and Mode Cosmetics - Tatt-Tastic, a dark dusty navy, for the rest.
This is how I accomplish this look. A lot of times when I do a halfmoon mani it is just a way to spice up a manicure I have already had on for a day or more. I take reinforce stickers that are used for loose-leaf paper, cut them in half, and place them on the lower portion of my nail. Then paint the rest of the nail with the majority color, peel off the stickers (after each nail) and add top coat if necessary. Not for the matte ones of course.Here is a couple you've seen already:
Rescue Beauty Lounge - No More War + China Glaze - Matte Magic
Sally Hansen - Thinking of Blue + OPI - Mad As A HatterWhat do you think of halfmoon manicures? Love 'em? Hate 'em?

I like them but I'm not sure if I'd wear it like that myself. I might try! Nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool, I need to try a mani like that!
ReplyDeleteMy word, the gold version is truly stunning. Love them all, but that one knocked my socks off.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant outside of the box thinking for using those reinforcement stickers!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes like these, I think it depends on the colors. My favorites of yours are the gold one and the blue + Mad as a Hatter one! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love them, too....just haven't tried them, yet....my big thing right now is the skinny French (or whatever it's called LOL)!
ReplyDeleteThose are all so pretty! The hole reinforcers are too bog for my nails so I'm looking for an alternative.
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried this yet, but after this I think i might.
ReplyDeleteO, all of them look great! I think special stickers for french tips will work also?
ReplyDeleteAnd with the black-and-white one - first layer is white and then black is the second? Don`t they mix the color?
Adorable pictures!! That last one looking so gorgeous. Thanks for the tips. I would like to made same as these.
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to try these! Your nails+ color combos are gorgeous!
