I did that about 2 years ago. I think it's such a classic look. However, Dita Von Teese has been doing it for over 10 years! Perhaps she was an inspiration.

I would wear it if I could do it. I can't even do a regular French manicure on myself, so I wouldn't try any of these. And I'm too cheap to get a professional manicure except for special occassions.

Yes, I would. But getting my manicurist to understand why I'd want it would be a whole other story. . .

I'm thinking of doing a more simple version, alternating my nails black and white. I love doing my own nails and it'd be simple. I think I remember seeing a picture of Beyonce within the last year doing a similar look on her nails.

This look pre-dates 1936 by several decades. Silent film stars would manicure their nails leaving the moon & the tip bare. So that's some time before the mid 1930s.

And as for being modern, Dita von Teese has been wearing her nails like this since the late eighties at least!
