Celebrity nail artist Jin Soon Choi’;s double moon manicure. I wasn’;t sure what, exactly, to name this nail art look. People talk about the “half-moon mani,” but one might argue that the red moon is more whole than half. And there are two of them, making it a “double”—but one is also flipped in reverse. So… double reverse half-moon mani? Eeks, that makes it sound much harder than it really is!
I settled on simply “double moon,” but whatever you want to call this, it looks sooo chic.
Here are the step-by-step instructions from celebrity nail artist Jin Soon Choi:
Double Moon Nail Art Tutorial
1. File and shape your nails into a long oval shape, and apply a base coat. (Jin used her own JINsoon Power Coat.)
Start with JINsoon Power Coat. 2. Using a hot red nail polish, draw a circle starting from the base of the nail and ending it at a little below the centre mark. (Jin used JINsoon Nail Lacquer in Vanity from the Goop Classics 2 set; or try JINsoon Nail Lacquer in Coquette.)
Apply JINsoon Nail Lacquer in Vanity. 3. Using a deep red nail polish, draw a half-circle at the tip of the nail starting from the tip, and end it before the centre point. (Jin used JINsoon Nail Lacquer in Audacity.)
Apply JINsoon Nail Lacquer in Audacity. 4. Using a pale nude nail polish, fill in the space between the two circles. (Jin used JINsoon Nail Lacquer in Demure from the Goop Classics 1 set; or try JINsoon Nail Lacquer in Nostalgia.)
Apply JINsoon Nail Lacquer in Demure. 5. Finish with a high gloss top coat. (Jin used JINsoon Top Gloss.)
