What causes moons on fingernails?

What does a healthy lunula look like?
Healthy lunulae are usually a whitish color and take up a small portion of the bottom of your nail. They're usually most visible on your thumb. You may notice that they appear smaller on your pointer finger, gradually shrinking in size until you reach your pinkie where they may be barely visible.

What is the meaning of the half-moon nail design?
This means 'little moon' in Latin. The 'half-moon' manicure simply accents the lunula. The entire nail gets painted, but the lunula crescent is left bare, creating a very-subtle negative space.
