Fly Me to the Moon!
Tired of same old French manicure? The new half-moon mani is the fresh, glamorous alternative.

Here's the look: nails are polished in one color, while the half-moon shape at the bottom of the nail is painted in another hue or left completely bare. "People are doing it in black and white, but don't be scared to experiment with color too," says Ginger.
