How to do half moon manicure?

Hi ladies,

i fall in love with this manicure picture at first sight!! This is actually from Essie Over The Moon collection. I guessed this half moon manicure trend has been out for quite sometime? Perhaps it's not so popular in Singapore? It looks kinda like an inverted french manicure. This is more challenging than the regular french. I'm thinking of doing this for Chinese New Year! But not sure what color combination should i try?

Step 1
Apply one coat of Blanc over the entire nail and wait for the polish to dry completely
Step 2
Using tape , cut a semicircle and block off the bottom third of your nail.
Step 3
Paint two coats of Licorice from the tape stencil to the tip of nail.
Once it dries , peel off the tape and finish with Good to Go ! top coat over the entire nail.
