31 Day Challenge - Half Moons

Happy weekend to everyone! I finally got my interview at Berkeley rescheduled, so I'll be away from the blog Tuesday-Thursday. In a way, I am glad that my flight was cancelled since I got to stay for the entire Sundance Film Festival! Yay! Tomorrow is the last day though...

Today's challenge is for a half moon manicure. I've never done a half moon manicure, mostly because I don't like the look of them. It's nice to try something new though! I almost wore these to my ill-fated interview out of sheer laziness, but I decided to wear my favorite nail polish for good luck instead (I'll be posting a swatch of it later this afternoon!)

To create the half moons, I began by painting my entire nail with two coats of Zoya Natty and then used nail guides to paint one coat of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls over it. I thought the manicure looked plain, so I used a Stripe Rite glitter striper to add a little extra touch to the manicure. Do you think the glitter was a good idea, or should I have just let it be without it? 

Thanks for reading!

  1. I really love these colors together! Then, the glitter added the perfect touch. I'm not a huge half-moon fan either, but I'd definitely sprt this for a few days!
