Juicy Watermelon French-Mani

These watermelon nails are sure to put you in a mouth-watering mood and they're a great way to start the summer off to a juicy beginning!


You will need:
  1. A pink base polish (I prefer a neon or bright pink for this design)
  2. A black detail polish
  3. A light green (pale is best) polish and a darker green polish for the rind
  4. Optional rhinestones for extra sparkle!
Steps:
  1. Apply the pink base coat thickly and let dry.
  2. Use the black detail polish to add some seeds. Remember- seeds are NOT in any orderly fashion and are NOT all the same size! Make em crazy :-)
  3. Let everything dry and apply a THIN top coat.
  4. On the edges of your nails, paint a thin or thick pale green line for the rind. Make them all different heights and thickness- no two rinds are the same! :-)
  5. When previous step has dried, put some darker green vertical stripes on the rinds.
  6. Optional rhinestones. Thumbs are best for those.
  7. Let all dry and apply thick topcoat.

I've also got a special surprise, I've been messing around with water marbling...
:-P
