Watermelons have been everywhere this summer. I feel like everyone has done watermelon nails before, including me about three years ago, but I was so inspired to do them, that I felt I HAD to! I came up with the idea because I really wanted to use this coral colored polish, and when I was trying to find a match for it, I sat the green next to it and that was the first thing I thought of!
I didn't want to do watermelons on every nail, because...well, I didn't. So, I decided to make the watermelon the accent, and stick with single color nails for a couple, and a chevron with those colors as another.
White: Zoya Purity
Coral: Wet 'n Wild Megalast Warm Filter
Green: Wet 'n Wild Megalast Tree Hugger
Black: Salon Perfect Oil Slick
To do the multi-colored chevron, I placed the vinyls down, then used a dotting tool to put the different colors in between each sticker, peeling them off as I went. To make the watermelon, I painted the nail white, then used a French guide Nail Vinyl to block off where I wanted the white. Because of that, the white is thicker than I wanted, but it made it a lot easier, so it was worth it. I then used a dotting tool to create the seeds!
