reverse french manicure

Whenever I have a reverse french manicure on my nails people assume it was professionally done at a salon and are surprised when I tell them it's easy it is to do yourself. The trick is to use a smaller nail art nailpolish, like Milani Nail Art. You can find them at beauty and drug stores like CVS for less than $5. I own gold, black and pink and add them on top of almost any base coat. The gold glitter is my favorite for the holidays and I love silver and white on light base colors for summer. But the possibilities are endless!

Here's how to do your own nails in a reverse french manicure:

Paint base coat. Let dry completely.

Get nail art brush, wipe off excess polish so the brush it isn't dripping. Draw a half moon line from the corner of your nail bed to the other side of your nail bed. You can also draw the line halfway and make the peak, then finish to the other side.

I don't actually follow my lunula (the little moon in your nail), I go above & exaggerate it. But you can make them as big or small as you like. And don't wory if it's not perfect. No one will notice.

Next, get a blob of polish on the brush and fill in the line. Let dry. 

Other base + lunula combos are:

Mint Base + Silver
Nude/Light Pink Base + Black

Hot Pink Base + White

Red Base + Gold
Burgundy Base + Gold
