How to do a half-moon manicure

Today, Incognito offers you a fun video tutorial on how to do your own half-moon manicure inspired by Dita Von Teese.


The half moon manicure appeared in the 30's but wasn't very popular at that time. It is only rencently that the famous burlesque artist Dita Von Teese brought that technique back into fashion.


 

It consists in painting one's nail on the major part of it except a small part at the root of the nail shaped as a half moon. You can also paint that part in a different color, usually a lighter color. 





Do you like nail art ? To what extent ? How do you feel about this technique ? 
Let us know !

    I've tried this sometimes, but I'm a mess at doing my nails and I never get a good result...

    I personally love the half-moon manicure! Dita really does put her own twist on it, & it looks lovely on her. You did a great job, love this tutorial!
