31 Day Challenge, Day 18: Half Moons

Hello! Today's challenge is half moons, which was kinda hard for me, considering I don't have rounded tape guides! I saw someone do a "necklace" manicure and I thought it'd work great for the challenge!

What I used:
Essie Lapis of Luxury
OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls
Pure Ice Silver Mercedes

I like this alternative for a half moon mani! Lapis of Luxury is gorgeous- a little sheer, but 2 careful coats will make it opaque. I like My Boyfriend Scales Walls because it's not stark white, so it's perfect for detailing! It also went well with Silver Mercedes! :)

What do you think of this mani?

    This is one of my favorites, hand down. It reminds me of dainty princess coronets!

    I just use reinforcement stickers to do my half moon manis. Those round stickers to protect or repair notebook paper holes. There's a tutorial in my blog in case you want to see.

    such a pretty idea!! It makes me think of like delicate tiaras sort of, and I love it. Plus Lapis of Luxury is a beautiful blue shade. I will have to test this out sometime!
