Warmer days will make way for lighter foundation, subtle spring shades and waterproof mascara. And if Kate Nash's recent make-up look in the video for new single 'Doo Wah Do' is anything to go by, coral is back!

We’ve all gone mad for New Moon at the cinema but how about half moon nails? Get in the Twilight mood this December and create your very own burlesque inspired half moon nails and be part the latest trend to sweep the beauty world.

If ever there’s a time to experiment with your make-up then Christmas parties are an ideal excuse to vamp up your talons. The half moon manicure gets its name because the nails are completely polished, except for the lighter, half-moon shape at the base of your fingernails. Those areas are left bare, creating a clean, cool silhouette that is so 1940s.

Try creating this look by following the step by step on this link using e.l.f. Nail Polish in White and offset with Plum or Light Red to get you in a merry Christmas mood. If you’re feeling a little daring then why not try more of a contrasting colour in the half moon? This one’s not easy, but with practice you’ll get better and think of all those comments you’ll get at Christmas.

What colours do you think you’ll try for Christmas? Let us know how you get on with your very own half moon nails.
