Watermelon Nails

This is my watermelon nail art tutorial - a fun, bright design for summer :) 

1)

For this watermelon design you'll need four colours: black, white, bright pink and green. I used MUA's black varnish and the others are from a nail art set (from ebay). 

2)

Start by painting two thin coats of your bright pink polish on all your nails.

3)

Next, take your white polish and carefully paint a french tip style line across the top of your nails - it can be thicker than I've done here but any thinner won't really work. I find it easiest to do this in two steps rather than one stroke, first I paint a line from the left to the middle, then draw one from the right to the middle (both in a slightly curved motion). 


4)

Now use your green polish to add the outside colour of the watermelon - using the same technique as with the white. Leave a very thin line of white polish visible between the green and pink as this gives a bit more of a realistic and detailed look 


5)

The last step is to add the seeds - for this take your black polish and carefully paint these slightly pointy oval shapes on all your nails. The brush in the MUA polish was the perfect shape for this and all I had to do was dab the brush on the nail, but you may need to do a slight line with yours. Add as many seeds as fits along the width of each of your nails.


And this is the finished watermelon manicure :)
