Beauty / GUEST EDITOR: OVER THE MOON FOR ADIEL FROM ITS BECAUSE I THINK TOO MUCH
The Pastel Half-Moon Mani
I’m all about the pastels for spring and that includes dressing up my nails. So when I got my hands on Love & Beauty by Forever 21’s lacquers in Avocado and Sky Blue, I had to put them to use in a spring-ready manicure. Read on to see just how easy it is!
The Supplies
In addition to Love & Beauty’s Avocado and Sky Blue, you’ll need hole reinforcement stickers and a pair of scissors.
The Base
Polish your thumb and ring finger with Avocado. Swipe Sky Blue on to the other three nails. Make sure the polish has completely dried before moving on to the next step.
The Half Moon
Use your scissors to cut each hole reinforcement sticker in half. Place ten of the halves onto the back of your hand to lessen the stickiness of the adhesive. This is important so that your don’t pull up any of your base coat when removing the sticker.
Position the stickers over the moon of your nail making sure the edges lay completely flat against your nail. Polish the uncovered part of your nail with the opposite color and remove the sticker before the lacquer dries.
Continue until you have finished each nail. When you’re done, you’ll have a fun, spring-ready manicure! Go show it off!

This is SO cool! I can see doing it with lots of different colors, but I really like the pastels you used!
What a neat idea! I love that it can be done with supplies you might already have lying around. A fun way to switch things up without spending money. LOVE IT

Tried this out as soon as I saw it, didn’t have the stickers so I had to freehand it but it worked out okay! Love how it looks!!
Ahhhh!!!! I would have never thought to use those stickers, thanks for the idea!
disculpen en México tienen una gran demanda sus productos porque no hacen envíos a este país? la verdad yo adoro todo lo que venden porque tienen ropa, zapatos y accesorios muy lindos me gustaría que hicieran envíos a México o que pusieran una tienda de forever21 en Guadalajara..la verdad eso a nosotras las mexicanas nos encantaría
