If you're using a sticker you just have to paint your nail. If you did it freehand, fill in either the circle, or the rest of your nail.  If you want, you can find my guide on doing Half Moon nails.

Take some nail polish remover and a q-tip or small brush to clean up anything around your nails. And topcoat and you're done! If you want a video for any of these, tell me and I'll add some.
