Total Eclipse of the Nails: 7 Ways to Rock a Half Moon Manicure

Everything old becomes new again. The latest retro style to experience a rebirth are half moon manicures, which were popular in the 1930s.

Today's styles include a wide variety of colors and creative twists on the look. The most popular way to create this nail design is by using 3-ring binder reinforcement sticker as show in this tutorial on Syl and Sam. I've compiled a number of fun color combinations, unique variations, and alternate methods to achieve the look. Click through the slideshow and get inspired to try this hot nail trend.
