The half-moon shape at the base of your fingernail, just above your cuticle, is known as a lunula. Whether you have it or not, you can always paint it on for a spin on the classic French manicure!

For a luxurious look, choose a gold colour for the half moon shape and a neutral colour for the base of your nails.

Instead of the standard polka dot print, a few strategically-placed dots on your nails looks effortlessly artistic!

Vary the sizes of the dots, arrange them in a line or simply place one dot at the base of each nail for an ultra-minimalist look. Create this look yourself easily with a dotting tool or the back of a sewing pin.

The same goes for lines. Instead of creating multiple lines in one direction, choose to draw just a single or a few lines on each nail.

Paint just half your nails for a striking effect that looks incredibly simple yet stylish! You can achieve this look yourself by pasting washi tape on your nails before applying a coat of nail polish and then removing the tape.
