Nail how-to: double half-moon mani
1. Prep. File your nails into an almond shape and push back your cuticles — DO NOT CUT THEM! — before applying a basecoat to each nail.
2. Paint on the white polish before the nude shade. Even though it looks like the nude polish is the base, Whitehill suggests painting a white opaque shade on first to eventually make framing your nail a lot easier. Nail model and Cosmopolitan.com's editor Amy Odell swiped on two coats of CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Snow Storm onto each of her nails.
3. Apply nude polish on the middle of the nail, leaving a white border. Using the nail brush that came with the nude bottle of polish, create a filled in "U" shape, keeping the white border along your cuticle and the sides of your nail free of nude polish. Amy used Dior Vernis Nail Lacquer in Beige Safari and applied two coats onto her nails and waited a few minutes before moving on to step four.
4. Add on a French tip and two half-moons. With a skinny striper brush, which allows you to create super thin lines and intricate nail art designs, and the white polish you used in step two, swipe the tip of your nail, connecting the white exposed border on the left to the exposed white border on the right. Next, at the base of your nail, draw a larger half-moon that reaches almost the middle of your nail, and then create another smaller half-moon inside so it looks a bit like a rainbow.
Finally, wait a few minutes for your artwork to set. Then seal your look with topcoat. You're done!

Sweet Hair Trend: 15 Celebs With Cotton Candy Strands!
Demi Lovato
She's no stranger to bright colored strands, but Demi DID just say she was going to give herhair some time in its natural brown shade! Her brunette days didn't last long though—the songstress posted her new lavender-and-silver ombre 'do on Instagram with the caption: "I know I said I was gonna give my hair a break but... I #REALLYDONTCARE."
Vanessa Hudgens
After she debuted ombre locks at Coachella this year, Vanessa has switched it up again, dying her blonde strands pastel blue! The unique shade, which she showed off with a matching floral crown, totally goes with her boho vibe.
Kylie Jenner
While this isn't the first time Kylie Jenner rocked blue hair, it ispossibly the coolest! Kylie took the blonde streaks of her dip-dyed 'do and turned them electric blue! The shade looks so amazing with her gorge brown eyes.
Raven-Symoné
The fomer That's So Raven star posted a pic of her fierce rainbow 'do on Instagram. The cool colors are perf with her edgy asymmetrical cut!
Rita Ora
Rita Ora is the latest celeb to go for a non-traditional hair color, and we're totally obsessed with her ombre sherbert tips! The pink tips with random splashes of blue and orange give off a cool, music fest vibe.
Katy Perry
Katy Perry is no stranger to colored hair, rocking purple, blue,and pink strands in the past, and now she's managed to make green hair look amazing, too! The singer gave her new short 'do a spring-y update, adding some green to her dark hair.
Demi Lovato
Blue hair is totally trending right now, but we love Demi's unique take on the trend! Her subtle streaks of cobalt and violet give her aqua strands more dimension.
Claudia Lee
Claudia Lee is the newest celeb with candy-colored hair!
Chloe Nøgaard
Model Chloe always stands out atFashion Week with her ever-changing rainbow hair! But this pink-and-purple combo is definitely one of our favorite dye-jobs she's sported.
Ke$ha
Ke$ha's played around with multi-colored strands before but this rainbow bob is her sweetest yet! We love how it starts as a pretty, strawberry blonde near her face then transitions to a yellow, green, blue, and purple ombre at the back.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie's blue hair was short lived, but we still loved her experiment with colored strands! The deep indigo was subtle against her pitch-black locks, but still added a nice pop of color to her usual all-black-everything look.
Kelly Osbourne
Honestly, we can't even picture Kelly without purple hair anymore! She's rocked this pale lavender shade for years, and who can blame her? The color brings out the green flecks in her pretty hazel eyes and complements her skin tone!
Little Mix
Although Perrie is best known for her rainbow hair, most of the Little Mix girls have dabbled in colored strands before! We love Perrie's ombre pink, Jesy's red streaks, and Jade's subtle blue highlights in this shot.
Lauren Conrad
She may not have been the first to try it, but Lauren was definitely the celeb that got us excited about trying some temporarily bright strands thanks to hair chalking! How flirty is the dip-dyed ponytail she rocked back in 2011?!
Willow Smith
The pink and blue splashes in Willow's bleach blonde hair are super subtle, making them a cool way to add color to your everyday look!
Hope you liked it ;)
