I'm not sure how well you can see this in the picture, but I did a moon manicure for the first time last night. I used Fingerpaints polish in two shades of purple. I got the idea out of my latest issue of InStyle (love that mag!). A bit of advice, if you try it, let the first color dry longer than the 5 minutes the article suggests, or the color peels off when you pull off the mani stickers.

I ordered the stuff to do a different mani with foils. I can't wait til I get it in. If it turns out like the mag showed, it will be gorgeous. You use a gunmetal polish as a base and the add bits of gold and silver foil. It was really pretty.

i've wanted to try doing that cause i've seen that style in a few magazines, but i have super shaky hands so it's really hard for me to paint my nails at all. Report Spam Posted by mmboplauren at 1:32 PM on 08/19/09
Nail polish is my favorite thing!! (Or at least top 100!) The details in the pic are a bit blurry, but your manicure looks awesome! I love the color combo. I have never been able to work out two toned nails before. I always get a ridge where the top color ends and that bothers me. And, unless both the base and top color are one-coaters, the polish situation gets a bit thick by the time you're done! Let us know how long your manicure maintains. It's soooo much fun. <333 Report Spam Posted by emyko at 2:09 PM on 08/19/09
