Matching Manicures - Halfmoons

Nova nedelja, nova tema, ovog puta sasvim po mom ukusu. Iako ovaj tip manikira ne nosim često, radim ga sa uživanjem. Smatram ga veoma nosivim, sa velikom mogućnošću kombinacija boja, od diskretnih preko prefinjenih do hipermodernih. Ja sam se po običaju držala jednostavnosti i nadam se da će vam se svideti ova izvedba.

Another Sunday, another theme, this time right up my alley. Even though I don't wear this form of mani often, I do it gladly. I consider it to be quite wearable, with a wide variety of combinations, from subtle to refined to hyper-modern ones. I have kept to simplicity, as usual, and I hope that you'll like my take on this manicure.

Polumesečasti manikir se može prilagoditi svačijem ukusu, a nad srodnim francuskim manikirom ima prednost što nije toliko isfuran. Izrada je krajnje jednostavna. Samo treba da odaberete dve boje (ili čak samo jednu u slučaju da lunulu ostavljate golom) i odlučite da li ćete raditi običnu verziju, gde je lunula jedne boje, a ostatak nokta druge, ili ćete raditi nešto kompleksniju verziju u kojoj se i boja vrhova noktiju razlikuje od centralnog dela nokta, a obično je iste boje kao lunula. Moj oblik noktiju nažalost nije pogodan za tu drugu verziju, a ona mi je daleko privlačnija. Šmrc. Kao baza mi je poslužio Sephora Shimmery Light Grey, a za kontrast sam nanela Sephora Shimmery Dark Grey. Opametila sam se od prethodnog puta kada smo u sklopu tematskog zadatka radile ovaj manikir i nisam na svim noktima koristila nalepnice za registratore. Kada imate nokte na palcu široke poput mojih, onda u pomoć moraju priskočiti nalepnice pravljene upravo za polumesečasti manikir. Moje su iz Catrice NEONaturals seta za nail art. Ako znate gde kod nas mogu da se nabave tračice koje imaju manje zakrivljenje od onih za francuski manikir, koje su mi podjednako nepogodne, ostavite mi informaciju u komentaru. Ne zaboravite da posetite i druge blogove i vidite manikire koje su druge blogerke spremile za ovu nedelju.

Moonicure is truly a mani for every taste and it has a huge advantage over French manicure, to which it is similar, in that it is not as overworn. It is very simple to do. All you have to do is pick two colours (or even one, if you want to leave lunula unpainted) and decide whether you'd do a usual version with lunula painted one and the rest of the nail other colour, or if you'd also do tips a different colour (usually the same one as lunula). My nail shape is not suitable for this second version, which I prefer to the more common one. Sniffle. I have used Sephora Shimmery Light Grey as base and for contrasting colour I used Sephora Shimmery Dark Grey. I have learned my lesson from the last time we did half-moons and I didn't use hole reinforcements on all my nails. When you thumb nails are as wide as mine, then you need to use guides made specifically for this sort of mani. Mine are from Catrice NEONaturals nail art kit. French tip guides have proven to be just as unsuitable as hole reinforcement stickers. Don't forget to see what other bloggers have come up with this week.
