Manicure Monday: Matte Moon Manicure with Tutorial!

So many 'M's in that title! Lol! So, girls I have a question for you! What does my manicure and a paper punch have in common?

These Things!

I don't know what they're called exactly but they're these stickers that you put around a punched hole on paper, so that the paper doesn't tear when you handle it in a binder. Amazing! @_@ Someone, please tell me what they are called!

My sister had a bunch of these so I decided to "borrow" some of them and try doing a moon manicure with them as guides! You can use french manicure tip guides, I guess but I go for the cheap and readily available! ^-^'

I cut them into halves so they would be easier to use.

Then I painted the lower half of my nails pink. You can cover the entire nail but I didn't want to make it too thick, so i did only half.

Then I waited for them to dry *not long enough*! Make sure you let them dry completely otherwise the guides will stick on and when you remove them, the polish will come off too. :(

LOL! They reminded me of handlebar mustaches! It HAD to be done! 

Then I painted on the black. *very messily* Apparently, i have no hand- eye co-ordination anymore!

Need to bring out the q-tips and acetone! STAT!

I was going to leave it at this but the black was just not happening in shiny mode. So, I went matte on just the black. :)
And this is the end result:

DUN-DUNA_DONE!

Here's all of the polishes I used:

Essie Matte Finisher, Maybelline Colorama Black, MIKI pink (no name), Sally Hansen top coat
