Howling at the Moon!



Beauty lovers just might turn into wolves this spring with these ultra edgy moon manicures spotted everywhere from runways to magazines. I for one couldn't wait to try the look. 
Here's how to get this high fashion look at home. 


-First you will need two colors of your choice, I chose...
Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet
and Pure Ice Free Fall

I decided to go with these colors because they are fun and create a nice contrast.

You will also need some reinforcement labels; these will be used to achieve the half moon. Any brand will do.

First you want to start off with fresh clean nails, the you want to apply the color you want your moon to be. I choose to use the Mint Sorbet as my base. 
Then you apply the labels where you wish to have your moon, like below.
Now it's time to get down to business, you want to proceed to paint below the labels this will give you the moon look. Also I suggest doing multiple coats seeing how the second shade of nail polish will be lighter or darker due to the base coat. 
After you achieve the hue you want, you can remove the labels and Voila! You have your moon manicure.
Feel free to do touch ups to get the look just right.



     

Love,
Le
