As you can see from the above, you can do The Great Gatsby inspired nails in the folowing ways:

1) A moon manicure that was popular during the roaring 20-s (manicures #4, 5 and 6). It can be easily re-created with a hole punch as Sammy/The Nailasaurus suggests here.

2) A traditional Art Deco pattern or part of it translated onto your nails (manicures #1, 2 and 3). All Art Deco print nails can be easily re-created with this tutorial.
