The technique
1. Start by perfectly preparing your nails: clean them with a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover, push back the cuticles and file them.
2. Apply the base in one layer on your nails and let it dry completely.
3. It is time to make the white half-moons. Two possibilities :
- If you are well trained or naturally dexterous, you can draw these curved lines freehand, using your white polish brush.
- You can use small half-moon shaped adhesives. Place them leaving the necessary space over the top of each nail. Then apply the white varnish. Let it dry completely and gently peel off the adhesives.

4. Apply the nude varnish in two layers over the entire nail, so as to cover the white half-moon which will stand out transparently. Proceed with three quick brush strokes on each nail: the first in the center, from the base of the nail to its end, then the other two on the sides.
5. Finally, finish with a layer of top coat, which will bring shine and solidity to your manicure.
