Moon Phase

Half-Moon Manicure

Half-witted? Sometimes. Half empty? We’ll give you that.

But half-assed? That’s where we draw the line, bub.

Don’t knock our half-painted nails. We’re bringing an old-school trend back to life with our half-moon manicure. And believe us, that takes a whole lotta commitment.

Okay, so we’re not breaking new ground. The original half moons showed up on screen starlets back in the ’20s. But it’s a look we’re embracing for its glam glass-half-full effect. 

It shouldn’t be confused with the reverse French (the moons and tips are painted a different shade than the bed) or the Stripe Tease.

Be sure to leave the stroke work to a professional.

And it won’t end up looking half bad.
