Edgy Half Moon Mani

I've seen tons of half moon manis out there, and I'm sure you have too. Well, I like to do things a tad different, if you haven't noticed. This is my edgier version of it. For this I used Wet n' Wild Hannah Pinktana, and Sinful Black on Black. Trsut me, Hannah Pinktana, is really fairly holo, but I didn't have any sun when I did this mani :(

Here is 2 coats of Hannah Pinktana over black.

This is how I cut my tape to do this design

You then tape it on your nail, like so

Once you polish on your 2nd color, black in this case, remove the tape ASAP, and you will have this

Repeat this for all your nails, and once you're done, add your top coat, mine is SV, Seche Vite

  1. Pretty! I'm going to try one of your tape manicures soon. But I have a question: do you always uses polishes that are opaque in one coat? What if I want to use two-coaters? (Since you say you shouldn't wait for the polish to dry, but remove the tape as soon as possible.) Thanks in advance!

  3. Love it!! How can you do all these and get no bleeding under the tape??? So perfect!

  4. Thanks ladies!!!

    Fey, haha, it really is just practice and learning how sticky your tape needs to be, and how hard you can stick it to your nail without messing up the base. Seche Vite is a wonder for tape manis.

  9. I actually thought about doing this, but never executed it! Except .. backwards? Like, in this case, my base would have been black and instead of the tape V cut out I would have had just a tape V go over where your black is.. then topped it with the pink. Did that even make sense? /rambles

  20. Chloe, how do you paint your top coat without the colors all smudging and running together?? Everytime I have tried a top coat, especially after black, it streaks... :(

    ReplyDelete
  21. You have some awesome ideas, I tried to replicate one of your ideas from your tutorial, BIG FAIL. How do I keep from taking the bottom coat off when I do the top coat. When I removed the tape it all came off! Also where can I buy that tape you use?
