Half Moon Manicure Set

@therococoprometheus and I teamed up to bring you a set inspired by 1930's nail polish ads ! On my side of this collab you'll find cc nails perfectly suited for 20's, 30's and 40's looks. Check out @therococoprometheus's side here for nail and beauty related vintage clothes and objects ! More pics and download below

In the West, in the 19th and early 20th century, nails were usually cared for and tinted using faintly colored oils or powders that had to be buffed into the nail to achieve a slightly rosier and shinier look. At least by 1917 there was also "nail white", used to get a whiter nail end. Indeed the sought after look in the late 10's and 20's was a pink shiny nails with light contrasting sole and ends. The white nail ends as a beauty standart was pretty classist as it was initially a way to show you didn't belong to the manual laborers (...or at least give the appearance of it) who usually had to dirty their hands (and nails) at work. When liquid nail polish became more widely available in the 20's, this look was emulated by applying the polish solely to the middle of the nail in a crescent shape, and such giving us the half moon manicure an iconic style sported by about every fashionable lady from the late 20s to the late 30s. By the 40's, the half moon manicure started to decline in popularity, the most fashionable looks being either fully painted nails or a version of the half moon manicure with painted ends. By then longer nails were also more popular as can be seen on the likes of Rita Hayworth or Marlene Dietrich. Those nail polishes were quite shiny and a bit sheer so I tried my best to replicate these characteristics in my own cc. The color palette for these cc nails is also directly taken from old nail polish ads.

————————  Short Almond Nails  ————————

———————————————————————————

These nails with their short and oval shape fit the style most popular in the 20s especially in their (20's) half moon manicure version. Though they could also suit later decade for a shorter more work friendly nail especially in the 40s and solid version.

3 versions : 20s half moon, 40s half moon and solids

for each : 1 bare swatch and 47 colored ones

only available for adults

male and female frame versions

————————— Long Almond Nails ————————

———————————————————————————

In the 30's longer and pointier nails became more fashionable and as such these long almond nails in their half moon versions would be perfect for a 30's look. They would also fit perfectly in the 40's in either their solid or 40's half moon version.

3 versions : 30s half moon, 40s half moon and solids

for each : 1 bare swatch and 47 colored ones

only available for adults

male and female frame versions

—————————— Coffin Nails ——————————

———————————————————————————

Such long nails would not suit 20s or early 30's looks, but would be perfect for 40s or late 30s.

2 versions : 40s half moon and solids

for each : 1 bare swatch and 47 colored ones

only available for adults

male and female frame versions

————————  Short Rounded Nails ————————

———————————————————————————

Short nails have always been around as they are quite practical at all times but I couldn't fit the half moon design on these in a satisfactory manner so enjoy these nails in a bare (timeless) and solid (40s and up) swatches.

1 bare swatch and 47 solid coloured swatches

only available for adults

male and female frame versions

Today's polish was simultaneously kinda almost neutral and super colorful which is a combination I always love. I got this polish from @lesmotsdemoi (Thank you so much! 😘💖) and the second I put it on I knew I'd love it. If you look at the first picture you can see that at just the right angle you get a desaturated rainbow on your nails. I don't know what magical properties that shimmer has, but I can't wait to wear it again. This is Mystic Moon from Tonic Polish.

CONSTELLATIONS ~

I'm not that fond of this nail art, why didn't I draw all of this thinner lol ? And I think that a good constellation/galaxy nail art require a lot of glitter to be a success.

Polishes I used :

Happy Full Beaver Moon today! 🦫

[tonyglowheart]

still waffling back and forth about the shoes lmao, I am no longer sold on the ankle strap one. and okay. it would be so OTT. But. but what if. what if I got that star cape... and wore it on top.... omg (technically it's a cape + jumpsuit set but like. that's fine, maybe I'll even like the jumpsuit even tho it's strapless.

and actually lmao I really love the velvet bag. there's something just. elegant about it.

the other bag matches, but again... maybe a bit too matchy-matchy. idk. updated moodboards side by side for comparison.

the bracelet concept.. I was not going to do bracelet but now it intrigues me. I really like the bracelet on the left but it's like $45 lmao, whereas that like square geometric one, I can find for ~$24 (but I think the velvet bag needs that $45 bracelet to bridge the aesthetic, whereas the other bag would be whatever)

Prompt: Breathing Room

Pairing: YasMoon

@karatecaulfield best lesbians are back <3

Moon pauses mid-yank, grip loosening on the coral pink prom dress. Yasmine frowns down at her, sprawled on top of the other girl in the limousine’s back seat.

“Why’d you stop?” she demands, pouting.

“Thought maybe you wanted some breathing room.”

“Please.” Yasmine fingers the orange folds of her date’s dress. “This is keeping me breathing. I feel amazing. Besides.” She grins conspiratorially. “I spent too long pretending Demetri was you to waste any time with the real deal.”

“That’s so m—”

She doesn’t finish before Yasmine crashes their mouths together, pressing her deeper into the velvet seat covering.

***

What’s the deal? You only treat me like a queen It’s so serial, I’ve always been a little mean I can feel my heart bursting at the seams It’s my greatest fear, loving anyone, anything

You know what to say You know what to do You know how to play You know, you know

Ooh, so wonderful Kisses tasting like chronic Give me some ‘cause I want it Like all the time

And ooh, it hits me good Yeah, it’s keeping me breathing Chasing after the feeling Like all the time

Today's polish was another exercise in frustration. I love magnetic polishes so much. Why don't they love me!? 😂😭 For whatever reason, even though I held the magnet in the middle of the nail, the stripe showed up SO LOW. On top of that, the stripe dissipated more quickly than I've seen with my other magnetic polishes. The color is SO PRETTY though. This is Once in a Blue Moon from Holo Taco. I will try this polish again at some point!!!
