I have been seeing Dita Von Teese's reversed french manicure around lately. It was kinda big back in '07 then picked up last year and .. it'ssss baaaack. Dita sports a silver moon with a retro red nail base. Every kind of color combo (green/red, gold/green, black/white) has been out and the techniques for some have been too technical (and others look too sloppy). So here is my interpretation of this look.
 |
| I used this cool retro red (Cherry Red) as the moon color Apply and let dry. |
 |
| Apply french tip guides ($1.88 at Walmart) where the moon would be. |
 |
| Apply tip color - this is "Manhattan" by NYC . It is such a great color. Let dry COMPLETELY! |
 |
| CAREFULLY remove the stickers |
 |
| Use orangewood stick or cotton swab to remove excess around nail and swipe a coat or 2 of clear polish. *Don't forget to put lotion on your hands - like I did ^o^* |
 |
| There you have it ... clean, perfect nails :) *I found that the matte colors looked best but maybe its just me* |
