Matte Half-moon Manicure using Self-Sticking Reinforcements

Try giving yourself a half-moon manicure using self-sticking reinforcements.  Just place the reinforcements on the bottom of your nail, smooth the edges of the reinforcements, paint the tip black, let the paint dry, then slowly peel the reinforcement off.  Use Essie's Matte About You as a top coat and there you have your matte half-moon mani.  

Quick Tip: If the black nail polish drips down onto the white, carefully paint over the white making the half-moon line more definite.
