If you've never done half moons before, you can find some helpful hints in last year's half moon post!
So after applying the hole punch reinforcement stickers, I just freehanded on some stripes using my medium length striper. I removed the sticker and then these were left!
The colors here are China Glaze Exotic Encounters, China Glaze Kalahari Kiss, and China Glaze High Hopes. All alliterative colors! COOL!
This color scheme gives me kind of a retro vibe. Like someone's dad wore pants that looked like these in his youth...

ReplyDeleteQuestion, how do you do your thumb nail?
Whenever I do it using the paper reinforcers it is never a big enough arc. I try to do it freehand, but it never looks neat enough.
I'm able to get away with using the reinforcements on my thumb too. Maybe if you cut one side of the circle you would be able to spread it open just enough to use it?
DeleteI had this problem, too, until I noticed that they sell different sizes. I believe I bought 1/4 when I should have bought 3/4 inch.
DeleteSo very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love this nail art and yes the colors definitely made me think retro! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Gorgeous!!

ReplyDeleteOmg I love these!!! Very very cool! It definitely makes me think of the 70's and I chuckled when I read "someones dad wore pants that looked like this" because I was thinking the exact same thing lol. Beautifully done, girl :D
