Beauty DIY: Watermelon manicure

Watermelon, in my mind, is the official fruit of summer.

My brother somehow developed a method for picking the best watermelons (I’m still trying to grasp what to listen for when knocking on a watermelon!) and would then proceed to eat about half of a watermelon. It is sad that this juicy fruit is only available during the summer.  But I enjoy it while I can and was inspired to create this easy nail DIY to honor my favorite summer fruit.
  Here are the materials needed:

• base coat
• top coat
• 3 shades of nail polish (pink, green, and white or black)
• pin, mechanical pencil or dotting tool

Here are the steps I used to create this manicure:

1. I painted my nails in the base coat and then two coats of pink color (with sufficient drying time between each layer of course!)

2. I drew a small thin line on the tips of my nails with the green nail polish.  Try to make 1 continuous line or at least drag the brush halfway across your nail. It is easier to draw a thin line and make it a little thicker if needed.

3. Then I draw on the little seeds by dotting my nails with the white color (see a tutorial for how to create a polka dot manicure here)

4. Allow sufficient drying time for the tip and polka dots. Then put on top coat to set.
