the new moon cannot be seen from earth because there is no sunlight hitting the moon so there is no reflection to see in the sky
The new moon phase occurs when the moon is positioned between the earth and the sun, making it invisible from the earth because the side facing us is not illuminated.
As seen from the moon, the Earth is a brighter source of light than the moon is as seen from the Earth. This also depends upon the phase of the Earth, just as the brightness of the moon varies by phase. A full moon and a full Earth are in the brightest phase.

We can see the Moon very faintly during this phase because, even though there is no Sun's light reflecting from the Moon, there is a small amount of light reflecting off Earth to the Moon. This 'Earthshine' is barely seen as a reflection from the Moon here on Earth.
New moon.
The moon phase when none of the lighted side can be seen is called a new moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, so the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated.

New Moon.
The moon phase known as New Moon cannot actually be seen. This is because the illuminated side of the Moon is pointed away from Earth.

Not exactly. The lighted side of the moon as seen from Earth is that part that is not shadowed by the Earth.
