Lets get into the step-by-step instructions on how to create this manicure.

Step one- Create the half-moon mani

I like to cut the round stickers in half and apply it to the cuticle portion of my nail. By cutting it in half and it allows the sticker to be placed all the way down on the edge by your skin! 

Now taking any polish color you would like I'm using red white blue and silver paint your nails a thick coat of polish and before the polish dries remove the sticker with a pair of tweezers! 

Apply glitter if you would like I'm going to add some to my silver Accent nails

Step two - Apply a quick trying topcoat and place a star in the center on the design. 

I found this Fergie wet and wild nail polish at my local CVS and I'm just going to add some stars to a Ziploc baggie and place the stars using a toothpick. 


Step three -  Apply a Matte polish.. if you're obsessed with mat nails as much as I am right now. 

Here's the finished manicure looks like when it's complete I'm so obsessed with this manicure!  I love how it  makes my short nails look super long an I can't wait to show off this manicure under the fireworks!
