Watermelon Nails

It’s almost summer. That means two things: 1. I’m about to eat so much watermelon. 2. We’re about to start seeing watermelon stuff EVERYWHERE. It’s one of those foods that just screams summer and its bright colors make it a perfect choice for that next food item that’s going to be on shoes and bags and so many other things. Since I love it so much, I decided to put some watermelon on my nails. I’m still pretty new to the nail art game, but I think these look pretty cool and they were super easy. Here’s what to do.

DIY Watermelon Nails – what you need:

• bright pink nail polish
• tape
• bright green nail polish
• tooth picks
• black nail polish

Step 1: Paint your nails pink

Self-explanatory. Moving on.

Step 2: Add green tips

Once the pink is completely dry, add a strip of tape to each of your nails so that just the very tip is unexposed, kind of like a french manicure. Cover that section with the bright green nail polish and let it dry for a minute. Then carefully remove the tape and let it dry the rest of the way.

Step 3: Make some seeds

Then, insert the tip of a toothpick into your black nail polish and use it to apply small marks to the pink section of each nail. These should look like the seeds so make them pretty small and randomly arranged around your nails. Let them dry and you’re done!
