Ashley Gregory (@ashley_g_nails) of Chicago, shows how she made this layered moon mani.

1. Begin with a single coat of opaque white polish to make the bright colors pop. Polish two coats of a bright magenta over the white.

2. Freehand a half-moon at the base of the nail using a warm coral polish.

3. Paint a deep, thin French tip using a bold purple polish. Finish with top coat.
