I had a family wedding the other week and decided to put together some fun jewel toned nails to make my outfit pop! Half moons seem to be a popular design choice for me these days and I think part of that is because they’re just so easy to do and they look so nice.
Let’s take a better look at the design!
I actually wore a black suit with faux-leather detailing and cropped pants for the wedding, so my look was pretty streamlined and professional. I also had these huge, gorgeous costume jewelry earrings on… I wish I had pictures to share! Also since I didn’t get home until a few days after the wedding my nails have a bit of wear and tear. But I just liked them so much I had to make a post. 🙂
I started out with a base of OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby. on most of my nails and then used some decals to fill in the majority of the nail with Julep Evelyn and when that dried I did more moons with the gold and with Julep Angela. The accent nails are a base of either Julep Angela or Evelyn (one of each per hand) with larger half moons with the OPI at the bottom. I locked the whole thing in with a layer of top coat for extra shine.
This was a really fun look to do, though it did take me a while. And stupid me left getting dressed and putting my makeup on until after I did my nails, which means my lovely mother helped me get ready far more than any mother-of-a-late-20’s-daugher should ever have to. Love you mom! Haha.
What kind of nails do you like to wear for special events? Pops of colour? Neutrals? I’d love to hear!
Thanks for visiting!
