I believe the french + half moon combination is inspired by a retro look. I can’t remember who posted it (and can’t find it!), but there was something on the MUA nail board about it. I’ll see if I can search further and dig it up.

People used to paint only the part of the nail that is above the moon and below the tip.

I like the Dior nails. I actually saw an ad in Vogue, IIRC for Dior, and it was a two-page spread and one page was themed green, the other pink. Her nails matched both, a white half moon and tip with either a bright green or bright pink “middle”. It’s eye catching to say the least, but it seems to be something one can only pull off with longer, more oval nails. Not short, squareys like me, and more’s the pity. I like it.

Lovely. I wish I could do the half-moon look at home – I can do a very competent French manicure, but I tend to splodge half-moons, especially on my right hand. Boo.

I love this post. Runway nails are one the things that often get overlooked when it comes to fashion trends. But, it’s a part of the whole package, and can spur women to mob cosmetics counters and hunt for colors that they might not have worn before. It’s very interesting to see.
