Lunar manicure at home. How to do a moon manicure?

Moon manicure - a fashion trend or an echo of the past? Read the article on how to make a stylish moon manicure.

The fashion world does not stand still, but is rapidly moving forward in big and small steps. Fashion for clothes, hairstyles, and hair coloring is changing rapidly. Even manicure fashion changes almost every day.

Unusual fashionable manicure

Today an elegant French manicure is in fashion, tomorrow a contrasting gradient on nails is in fashion, the day after tomorrow something else will be in fashion. And these trends need to be taken into account not only by manicurists, but also by their clients. Firstly, in order not to look old-fashioned, and secondly, it’s always nice to be one of the first to try something new.

A very unusual manicure is a fashion trend

What is a manicure with a hole called?

In fact, a lunar manicure or a manicure with holes is some kind of alternative version of the familiar French manicure (French). French is when the top of the nail is highlighted with a different color of polish from the main color of the nail.

The traditional version uses flesh-colored varnish, white and transparent.

Traditional French manicure

A more modern option involves the presence of more contrasting colors, additional patterns, gradients, rhinestones, and sparkles.

Manicure with holes - highlighting the hole of the nail from below with a different color, rhinestones, sparkles, whatever.

So, the main difference between a real French manicure and a lunar manicure is that a French manicure involves highlighting the nail from above, and a lunar manicure from below.

Sometimes masters use not semicircular holes, but triangular ones. The manicure turns out stylish and unusual.

Some masters, at the request of clients, can combine moon manicure and French manicure. Then a very beautiful, fashionable, combined manicure is born. You can add rhinestones, patterns and sparkles to this manicure. But you need to know when to stop, since the abundance of small details greatly distracts attention.

Combined moon manicure and French manicure

Features of lunar manicure

This type of manicure, unlike others, visually shortens the nails very much, so it is suitable for those with nails at least 6 millimeters long. Moon manicure looks perfect only on hands with ideal skin condition. The cuticles and nails are carefully prepared, because even the smallest flaw will immediately catch your eye.

A classic lunar manicure does not involve the use of both matte and pearlescent varnish, but the rapid change in fashion trends has led to the fact that this dogma is increasingly being neglected. By the way, the combination of matte varnishes with metallic ones fits well into the basics of the classics of this type of manicure.

If you want to make a fairly bold combination of contrasting bright colors, then keep in mind that they should “echo” the colors of the outfit. Such a manicure would be appropriate for evening events, but classic combinations of shades and textures are more suitable for everyday life.

Traditionally, for a lunar manicure, the nail plate is given a square shape with rounded corners. Although ovals in different variations are sometimes allowed. To design a lunula, the most often chosen shape is a semicircle or an arc, but there are also options with triangles, and with multiple contours, and also double crescents.

How to do a moon manicure at home: step-by-step instructions

Making a lunar manicure “like on the cover of a magazine” is not at all difficult. But such a manicure will require some accuracy and understanding of the basic principles of creating a spectacular manicure.

Even if you are a complete beginner, creating such a manicure will not be difficult if you follow all the tips below.

So, what is needed to create a manicure with holes?

nail file
several cotton sponges
orange nail stick
nail polish remover
a product to treat your finger before a manicure or something greasy so that the polish can be easily wiped off your finger
two colored varnishes and a clear varnish to fix the work
special stencil (circle with a hole inside)
patience

If you do everything correctly, you will end up with a manicure like this.

Blue manicure with holes

Now the technology for creating a blue moon manicure:

Treat the nail. Using a nail file, make the perfect shape of your nail, and using an orange stick, push back the cuticle, degrease the nail plate and apply a base coat. Treat the finger itself near the nail with a special mixture so that any varnish that accidentally gets on the skin can be easily removed
Apply an even layer of base varnish to the prepared nail. In our case it is white varnish
Now you need to apply a stencil, slightly extending beyond the base of the nail, to create a crescent
Apply a varnish of a different color (in our case, blue) to the remaining part of the nail without a stencil.
Secure the resulting manicure with a layer of colorless varnish.

Advice! Apply a new coat of varnish only after the previous layer of varnish has completely dried. Otherwise, the varnish will become covered with bubbles or simply will not dry, and your efforts will be in vain.

This is the simplest version of the moon manicure. If desired, you can use other colors of varnish.

Stencils-stickers

When using special stencils, the manicure turns out to be very neat. If you don’t have stickers for the jacket, then you can replace them with regular tape by carefully cutting out the shape.

1. So, first we need to tidy up our nails - make the nails the same shape and remove the cuticles.
2. Choose two polishes of different colors that you want to cover your nails with.
3. Now apply the color of shellac on the nail that will be the hole.
4. After the main gel polish has dried, we paste the stencils on the base of the nails (near the lunula). Moreover, the stickers can be either moon-shaped or sharp.
5. Apply the second shade of gel polish to the nail plate, let it dry, and then remove the stencil.
6. The last step is a sealer to even out the shellac and give the manicure an even shine.

The moon jacket can also be made in color, in various bright shades. This type of manicure is perfect for summer and spring, when everything around is blooming and the sun is shining brightly.

What is a moon manicure?

It is believed that lunar manicure, which has taken a strong position in the field of beauty, is a type of French manicure, or French . Due to the fact that short nails are in fashion this year, lunar manicure has become especially popular, although it takes its origins back to the 30s of the last century. This fact once again confirms that worthwhile things do not go away forever, but are only forgotten for a short time. Those who hear the name of this manicure for the first time think that it is something unearthly or mysterious. To some extent this is true. The origin of the name moon manicure has 2 theories . On the one hand, it is believed that it has something in common with the crescent , which, as is known, is the moon. On the other hand, this manicure focuses on that part of the nail that is popularly the lunula or hole And this manicure has such a name only in our country, since abroad it is most often called Hollywood French. Although this manicure is a variation of the French manicure, in addition to the inverted shape, it has another important difference - a commitment to the use of contrasting varnishes . It is possible to combine both a moon manicure and a classic French manicure on the same hand, when there are crescents at the top and bottom of the nail plate.

How to evenly draw a moon manicure with a transparent hole on short nails?

The very first version of the lunar manicure was with a transparent hole. Later, women began to come up with ways to make holes of different colors, because it looked new.

Let's return to the very first option - a lunar manicure with a colorless (transparent) hole. To create such a perfectly even manicure, you will need:

stencil
nail polish remover, cotton wool or cotton pads
clear varnish and colored varnish (one bottle each)
nail file and orange stick

Process:

Prepare your nails: shape them, degrease and remove cuticles.
Apply a coat of clear varnish and let it dry completely.
Now attach a stencil to the base of the nail; this is the future hole. Paint over everything above the stencil with colored varnish. Let the varnish dry completely.
Now apply another layer of clear varnish.
Ready! A classic moon manicure with a transparent hole will delight you for a long time!

Making a moon manicure with gel polish

Lunar nail art made with gel polish not only lasts longer on the nails, but also looks especially solemn and elegant.

The following combinations are considered the most successful: black and gold, burgundy with black, cream with black.

The latter option is perfect for office everyday life and business meetings. A colored manicure looks interesting, creating a spring mood on your nails.

To work you will need:

UV lamp with a power of at least 36 watts;
set of varnishes: base, finishing and 2 color;
smooth napkins: there is no need to use cotton wool, as it will leave lint on the nails;
degreaser;
nail polish remover;
stencils for making holes;
additional decors: rhinestones, sparkles, colored dust, foil.

How to make a moon manicure with gel polish:

Get a hygienic manicure. To do this, push back the cuticle with an orange stick and remove the skin around the cuticle.
File your nails with a file, giving them the desired shape. For lunar nail art, an oval is most suitable. An important point: do not file wet nails, as this can lead to their delamination.
Degrease the natural nail plate. This is necessary for strong adhesion of the decorative coating to natural fabrics.
Apply a transparent base gel polish to the prepared surface and dry under the lamp for about 30 seconds.
Top coat the nails with the main color in one layer and dry.
Apply a second coat of the base color and dry again for 1.5 minutes.
Stick stencils on your nails and apply a second decorative coating to the hole. Dry your fingers under the lamp for 2 minutes.
Apply a finishing coat to the platinum and dry again.
Decorate your nails with decorative elements along the junction of two varnishes.
Remove the sticky layer with a napkin.
Treat the cuticle with moisturizing oil.
Manicure is ready!

There is another interesting method of highlighting a hole by gluing foil. To do this, semicircular elements are cut out of this material and glued to the base of the nail using special glue. In this case, the base coat should already be present on the nails.

There is another technology for lunar manicure using transfer foil:

Prepare pieces of foil for the hole so that they match the shape of natural nails. A “smile” can be either concave or inverted. It depends on the client's wishes.
Carefully apply manicure glue to the “smile” area and let it dry until it becomes transparent.
Place a piece of foil on the area of the nail treated with glue and smooth the application with a spatula.
Carefully remove the foil: it will leave the desired color in the shape of a hole on the surface.
If textured foil was used, then you don’t have to cover your nails with the finishing layer.

The biggest advantage of gel polish is its durability. For at least 2 weeks he will delight his owner with his pristine, bright appearance.

How to draw double holes in a moon manicure with a transparent stripe?

A lunar manicure with a transparent strip is a closer option to the classic of all existing types of lunar manicure.

This manicure will require significantly more time than a standard one, because the hole will have to be drawn as many as two times.

Lunar manicure with a transparent strip and double holes

The set of materials you will need to create a moon manicure with a transparent stripe includes:

orange stick, cotton pad, nail file
nail polish remover, sponge
two colored varnishes and one clear varnish
stencils for French manicure with thin internal borders, the more stencils the better

Now about how to create a manicure with transparent holes:

Paint the top area (where the edge of the nail) with the first colored polish.
Paint the hole area with the second varnish (you can use just one varnish if desired).

Moon manicure with a transparent stripe

Take note! Very often there are manicure options in which a transparent strip is filled with rhinestones or sparkles. In such a case, it is not necessary to use the method just described above. You can do a regular manicure with holes, and apply rhinestones or sparkles to the border of the hole.

Stencils for lunar design

Since the only limitation in the design of a lunar French manicure is the combination of colors, there are many options for its execution. It all depends on your sense of taste and imagination. At the same time, not only bright colors are popular in lunar manicure, but also combinations of light, flesh tones.

In addition, as in the classic French manicure, moon manicure often uses a transparent base with a bright coloring of the smile. The individual nail style of girls, done at home, is replete with the use of various decor in lunar manicure. It is worth mentioning such a fashionable design as outlining a quarter of the moon or even the entire nail with a thin line along the cuticle.

Moon manicure design options:

A manicure with a red varnish base is a timeless classic. It is not surprising that a lunar manicure with this color is a very popular solution in nail design. In this combination, a white or flesh-colored hole is used;
A 50/50 combination of two bright colors in the base with a flesh-colored hole looks very original and juicy in a moon manicure. In this case, the hole is not additionally painted, and after applying the primary colors, an additional transparent fixer is simply coated over the entire nail plate;
Invariably popular in lunar manicure is the nude style - an inverted French manicure. In this version, you do the same as in the French version of the manicure, only with an inverted hole;
In addition to the usual semicircular smile, lunar manicures with shellac use a triangular design of the cuticle and socket. This design is done using a special manicure brush. A very popular combination is a white base and a bright triangle running from the upper semicircle to the center of the nail. Do not try to draw such a pattern with a regular brush - use only a special, thin one;
if you decide to do a lunar manicure at home using varnishes with sparkles, for example, gold, the sequence of their application should be different. First, the base is painted and dried, and then a smile is carefully drawn. It is recommended to use smile stencils in this case.

There are a huge number of options for making such a design; each master tries to surprise his client and experiments. You can design it using various add-ons:

Rhinestones;
Patterns;
Sharp lines;
Broths, etc.

At the peak of popularity now is a lunar manicure made using:

Stencils;
Strips for French manicure;
Drawing a harrier with a contrasting color;
Lay out using foil.

All of the above options look original and not at all provocative.

This design can be made using absolutely any material at hand. Sometimes, when using bright colors, it is enough to highlight just one or two nails with a smile. This will greatly tone down the bright colors and add a touch of sophistication to any design, regardless of nail length.

Moon manicure for long nails with glitter

The technique is exactly the same as for regular drawing. But there are additional materials here:

Nails glue;
Foil (gold or silver looks very nice).

So, using this material you need to slightly change the sequence and meet important conditions. Namely, we glue the foil with the matte side immediately after applying the base.

After applying the base coat and the main color of the varnish, carefully use a thin brush to draw the shape of the hole with glue and glue our decorative element (do not forget to dry the gel layers);
Then carefully level it, wait a minute for the glue to dry;
Gently tear off the foil.

Attention! It does not always apply perfectly in one layer, so several applications may be required, following exactly the same pattern.

After the ideal shade is obtained, we cover everything with the finishing coat.

This type of manicure is more suitable for evening events; in everyday life, glitter does not always look appropriate, especially if at work you have to adhere to a strict corporate style.

Moon manicure with foil

Using stencils, you can create not only a classic lunar manicure with a transparent nail hole, but also a contrasting one, using two colors or a decorative shiny coating. In the first case, you need to apply only one layer of base under the varnish, and then apply a layer of colored varnish to the entire nail - this is the color that the hole will be. After gluing the stencil, apply two layers of contrasting varnish and cover with a fixative.

Another option is to use a brush, but this requires some experience. Manicurists in beauty salons use this method exclusively - it is faster and more convenient than gluing stencils. After covering the nail with the base, take a colored varnish, and with a thin brush draw the border of the hole, after which the entire nail from it to the end is covered with varnish with a wide brush.

Lunar manicure can be performed not only with regular polishes, but also with gel polishes. Here, of course, you will need an ultraviolet lamp to polymerize the coating. The execution technology will be the same, but after applying each layer of base, color and fixer, you must let the nails dry in a UV lamp until completely dry (depending on the model and lamp power - from about 30 seconds to 2 minutes).

The first thing you need before doing a moon manicure is to get your hands in order. If your nails need treatment, use the classic or European manicure procedure. You can try care using the Brazilian system. Have you ever done a moon design on your nails before? Use round stencils for beginners, which are sold at a nail store. The technique is very simple.

Apply base coat. Then paint your nails with decorative varnish and wait until the coating dries completely.
Place the sticker on the lunula (base of the nail) as shown in the photo. Paint the part of the nail from the stencil to the free edge with a darker color of polish.
Peel off the sticker and wait until the top layer dries.
Apply top coat to your nail art. Take a look at the following step by step image, it's really simple.

The following stencils are available:

Round stickers with an internal hole. Outwardly, they somewhat resemble a car tire or a donut. These round pieces are attached to the nail plate on top of the base or after applying a colored layer. Then a contrasting color coating is applied, and the lunula, thanks to the stencil, remains painted with the first layer.
For fairly long nails, use triangular stencils. They are fixed at the base of the lunula, leaving this area unpainted or lighter. An excellent addition to this elegant design will be rhinestones, sparkles or elegant patterns.
Stencils in the form of curved lines or ticks are used to create a jacket. With their help, you can draw several outlines of the moon, placed at different distances from each other.

You can buy stencils in special stores. Skilled needlewomen can make them themselves. When decorating short nails, glue the stencils closer to the base of the nail.

Classic moon manicure colors

The favorite colors of nail art masters for lunar manicure are red, black and white. They are standard and quite universal. However, now gel polish manufacturers have such a variety of shades of UV coatings for nails that it would be a shame not to take advantage of this, especially in the spring-summer season, when you want to see bright colors in literally everything, even on the tips of your nails. Nowadays, bright blue colors, beige and green shades are very popular. One of the current nail trends is considered to be a combined design, combining different colors, textures and decorative elements.

White moon manicure

[pro_ad_display_adzone id=”9403"]
A white manicure is often done for a wedding, additionally decorating it with rhinestones, appliqués or pearls. When choosing a white UV coating for nails, give preference to high-quality gel polishes, since cheap ones, as a rule, turn out to be of a liquid consistency and cover the nails unevenly, leaving gaps and smudges. This rule applies to the entire basic and light palette. Usually, you can save money without losing quality on colored and darker shades. Almost all manufacturers have them thicker.

Black moon manicure

Black manicure has not gone out of fashion for several years. It is always relevant. Black manicure can be done in a variety of styles: classic, gothic, grunge and others. Black moon manicure is very popular among young girls. It is best to apply a rub on black gel polish, with which you can create a beautiful and fashionable mirror finish. Black goes with any shade of polish and nail decoration, be it rhinestones, foil, mosaic, etc., so you can come up with many design ideas based on it.

Red moon manicure

A sort of classic of the genre. Red color in manicure is considered basic and goes with any clothes and makeup. Red manicure is especially popular in autumn; this color is often combined with gold, rhinestones and kamifubuki. In lunar design, the fashionable combination of black and red is very popular. If you do not want to do a very bright manicure, then give preference to cherry, darker wine shade or marsala color. There are beautiful cherry-colored shellacs in the CND palette, if you need an evening option, then the line of the ENTITY and MASURA brands contains deep burgundy shades with microglitters, and almost every manufacturer has a classic red, the OPI brand even released the original red “Coca-Cola”. Among the magnetic gel polishes, we can highlight a beautiful raspberry-red shade with a golden shimmer from the MASURA collection, which is called “Raspberry Cat”, as well as a light burgundy shade of TNL “Magnet lux”.

Lunar red manicure

Fashionable blue gel polish

Blue is the color of the fall-winter 2021 season, and any variation of it: from light shades and bright blue to deep dark color. The trend is smoky blue and a combination of blue and gray in nail designs. The blue “cat's eye” does not lose its relevance, which can be given even greater expressiveness with the help of an additional layer of transparent stained glass varnish. In general, the combination of magnetic and stained glass shellac is now very popular; a similar design option can be supplemented with rhinestones or mosaics. Well, don’t forget about the classic New Year’s lunar blue manicure with iridescent snowflakes sprinkled with shimmering acrylic sand.

Beige lunar nude design

Beige manicure is a wonderful everyday option for nail design. Powdery shades are very popular now. This spring, the TNL brand released an amazing universal collection of base colors for creating French manicures, nude manicures and other types of nail designs, called Color Base. The same brand also has another collection that has pretty golden beige shades. It's called Morocco. There are interesting beige tones in the OPI “Soft Shades” and “Infinite Shine” lines, as well as the IRISK brand in the NUDE collection, etc.

Now let’s see what can be painted on nails using beige gel polish.

In pink

Pink, just like beige, is a universal color for everyday manicure. It is indispensable for designing short nails, because... Light shades visually lengthen nails. Pink is the color of spring and summer. It goes well with floral patterns and monograms. If you wish, you can also make a geometric pattern, for example, line it with “broken glass” foil; it looks very stylish on pink gel polish.
