Nail Art || Watermelon Nails #3

Polishes used:

Pink - Sally Hansen Hard as Nails "Mighty Mango"

Green - China Glaze "Four Leaf Clover"

Light Green - E.L.F. "Mint Cream"

Black - Revlon Nail Art Chalkboard "Study Date" (black end)

How To

This is something that looks best as an accent nail. Its not too difficult as long as you take your time. You will need a dotting tool of some sort, like a pencil or a toothpick.

Step 1: Apply a base coat.

Step 2: Create a sort of half-moon shape in green. If you want, you could also do a solid line.

Step 3: Using your dotting tool, add a thin white line either on the green or between the green and pink. Now our rind is almost complete.

Step 4: As that dries, use the dotting tool to create a rounded triangle-ish shape for the seeds (3-4 seeds).

Step 5: Use the dotting tool to add either straight lines or squiggly lines in the light green. Now our rind is complete.

Apply a top coat, and you're finished!

How To

This is a pretty easy look that any beginner can do. It looks awesome on every single nail or as an accent nail. I like to wear this on my ring finger nail and my thumb nail. You will want to have either a pencil, a dotting tool, or a toothpick to draw the watermelon lines and the seeds.

Step 1: Apply your base coat. In this picture, I did two coats.

Step 2: Draw a line with the darkest green. I free-handed it and it turned out fine.

Step 3: Add 3-4 seeds. I feel like 4 seeds keeps the look balanced. 

To do the seeds, put a drop of polish on a plate or plastic surface. Dip your tool (I used a dotting tool) into the polish and make a dot on your nail. Dip it a second time, and dot in the same place, this time pulling towards you. This creates a rounded triangle look.

Step 4: Add the husk lines. Using the same technique as mentioned above, make the husk lines with the light green. Instead of simply pulling up, though, make a squiggly line. You can make them as thick or thin as you want.

Step 5: Finish with a top coat.
