Step out of the box with these two trends in talons:
The Moon Manicure
Step 1. Start with an opaque white lacquer (try Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail color in Whirlwind White ) and apply one coat over the entire nail and wait for it to completely dry.
Step 2. Using a semicircular French-manicure stencil sticker (try Orly French Manicure Tip Guides), block off the bottom third of your nail.
Step 3. Paint two coats of black (try Essie nail polish in Licorice) from the stencil to the tip of the nail. Once it dries, peel off the sticker and finish with a shine-enhancing top coat over the entire nail.
The Ombre Manicure
Subtle shade-shifting gives hands a cool and pretty effect. The best part? All you need are two shades to create your own custom ombre sensation.
Step 1. What you'll need: a deep purple polish (try OPI nail lacquer in Give Me Moor), a creamy white polish (like OPI nail lacquer in Alpine Snow), five clean pots (or disposable plates), and toothpicks to mix.
Step 2. Pour out four dime-size blobs of the dark purple, and add small increments of white to each one, creating a gradation of hues.
Step 3. Beginning with the original shade on your pinkie, paint each nail a different color.
Have fun with it and try different colors and graduate them also.
