Watermelon Nails Tutorial

Difficulty - Beginner

Watermelon nails are such a perfect summer mani. They're fun, bright and simple. I want to do a whole series of fruit nail tutorials so keep your eyes open for kiwi nails, strawberry nails and any other fruits you guys want tutorials for!

In this tutorial I used OPI in Pompeii Purple, Barry M in Spring Green, Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in Mint Sorbet and a black nail art pen.

Tips & Tricks

I made the seeds in an arc, but you can paint them randomly all over the nail if you want.
Don't worry about the light green squiggles being perfect...nature isn't perfect!
The white line makes it look more "finished", but if you're not confident in your ability to paint straight lines (it's hard!) just leave that step out.
You can reverse the mani, with the green at your cuticle, for a different look.
Just a side note...if you're wondering why this tutorial looks different it's because I did it on a fake nail using my creepy plastic "Practise Finger"!
