Lunar pedicure: original versions and tips for creating

A woman who cares about herself and her beauty should be perfect in everything, this also applies to the well-groomed nails. Lunar pedicure came into vogue in the distant 30s and is still one of the most popular. Over time, new forms of its performance, more vivid and rich.

The main idea of ​​this design is to leave a bright crescent at the beginning of the nail plate. There are many ways to do this, it is desirable that the shape of the nail is not square, it is better when the ends are slightly rounded.

To form an even crescent, use a brush or a special stencil. The first option is more suitable for girls who have already filled their hands, the second - for beginners. If the line turns out uneven, then the beauty of a pedicure will disappear, it is better not to decorate your nails at all, than to make it crooked.

You can also use the usual tape, which is cut out in a semicircle and stick on the nail. The size of the stencil allows you to adjust the size of the crescent.

For the formation of the design will require two different color varnish. From the imagination of a woman depends on what happens in the end.

The tendency of the presence of two colors on the nails is back. Many were able to notice during the fashion week that most models have a moon pedicure on their feet. This is not surprising, since it is perfect for special occasions and is combined with any evening dress, and for everyday life.

Pedicure, which we see on the runway, fits perfectly into everyday life. Not so long ago there were colors in fashion, slowly iridescent into each other. Particularly relevant in the lunar design looks like mother of pearl. This design came into vogue with the advent of varnishes, complete with which were special brushes.

Today, a variety of moon manicure is amazing., crescents make bright colors, the combination of red with black looks amazing, the classic black and white combination, green with yellow. Sometimes you can see instead of a crescent triangle, a small and completely dividing the nail into two halves, tapering to the edge of the nail.

Girls are increasingly using sparkles on their nails, because it is beautiful and looks solemn. The line between the two colors is covered with small beads or rhinestones, drawn with a brush.

One of the options: not only draw a crescent at the base of the nail, but also extend it with an additional semicircle below the nail plate.

A new technique of registration was the extension of the jacket from above to the end of the nail. Thus, a smooth line girds the entire nail and goes down. The combination of white and purple or lilac looks very good, and the triangle can be completely laid out on top with rhinestones of golden color.

A pale blue or lilac lacquer with a white crescent will look beautiful and neat on your feet., but so that the line between them remains transparent. With this combination, you can experiment and replace colors, but leave the main idea.

You can leave the crescent moon colorless or in tone with the nail, the line between it and the main color to highlight a white thin line and also make a thin french. On short nails, this option looks neat, combined with any style of clothing. It is desirable that the form was square.

Often, the crescent is framed with lace, which is drawn with a thin brush or filled with foil and sparkles.

To create a moon pedicure house you will need:

• varnish;

• gel;

• stencil.

First prepare the legs for registration. Give the necessary shape to the nails, remove the cuticle. You can steam your feet in a warm bath with lemon juice or use a special bio-gel. When everything is ready, you can start applying the main color.

We select the tone, if it is a bright color, then you should not put it on the entire nail, only on the upper surface, where the crescent will form. Transparent varnish or pale tones can cover the entire nail plate.

Now that the first layer has dried, we apply a stencil in the form of a semicircle. This can be a simple scotch tape, cut out by yourself, or you can buy special stickers. The most difficult thing to do is make several lines, since you have to evenly distribute the paper. Each gap is filled with the selected color, and when everything is dry, stencils are removed.

You should not remove them immediately after applying the varnishes, because then they will smear and you will have to start all over again. In conclusion, cover all this gel.

As for rhinestones, beads and other decorative elements, it is better to glue them before the nail is covered with gel. This also applies to drawings.

The depth of the lunar semicircle is formed in such a way that the edge falls directly into the cuticle. It is more difficult for those from whom it is not visible, you can try to slightly raise the skin at the base of the nail, but so as not to injure it. If you naturally have a short nail plate, you should not do a moon pedicure with a too wide crescent, visually it will further reduce it. You can use a triangle in the design, it will lengthen the shape.

In any design, a pedicure with a hole is the perfect solution for a casual look and evening dress. It is not difficult to do at home alone, if you have patience. You can dream and create your own options for combining colors, shapes, decorative elements.
