Happy New Year’s Eve Everyone!

Today I have a quick New Years Eve mani to show you.

This is a half moon manicure using Gold Coin and Knockout, both by Revlon. To start, paint your nails the color you want your moon to be. In this case I used Gold Coin to pain my nails. I did paint one opposite, and painted the entire nail black.

When dry, I then painted the “moon” using Knockout, or any black, I painted all but the moon part of my nails, leaving a bit of the gold peeking out. Of course I have to have one odd nail, so that one is painted with the gold and a bit of the black peeking out.
Once dry, add a top coat and you are set for a night of partying! 🎈 🎉

Of course, you have to remember I painted this free hand, you can use some guides or even scotch tape to mask off the area you want for your moon. This would give a much cleaner look.

Also, you could use any color combination. I like the black/gold, but black/ silver or red would be pretty. I also like the idea of blue with silver. One last tip, be sure to use a good base coat when working with dark colored nail polish, and have a clean up brush handy.

I wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR. I sincerely hope 2013 brings you everything you need and want to live your life to the absolute fullest.

💅 As always, thanks for stopping by.
