Step-by-Step Watermelon Nail Art Tutorial
1. Prep Your Nails:
Start with a natural nail base coat to protect your nails and create a smooth surface.
2. Apply Base Colors:
- Paint your ring and thumb nails with fuchsia nail polish.
- Use light blue polish for the rest of your nails.
3. Create Watermelon Slices:
On the blue nails, use white acrylic paint and a thin brush to draw triangular watermelon slices. Start with a curved “smile” line, then connect the edges to form a triangle.
4. Add Green Rinds:
With green polish, paint a thin line along the bottom of each watermelon slice.
5. Fill in the Slices:
Use fuchsia polish to fill the triangle, leaving a small white stripe between the green rind and the pink.
6. Add Watermelon Seeds:
Use black acrylic paint and a small dotting tool to create three tiny dots on each slice.
7. Decorate the Thumb Nail:
- Apply a French tip guide to your thumb.
- Paint the tip white and remove the guide carefully.
- Add a green stripe along the white tip, leaving a small gap for a white stripe in between.
8. Add Seeds to the Thumb Tip:
Use a dotting tool with black acrylic paint to create larger dots. Then, with a thin brush, shape the dots into teardrop-like seeds.
9. Seal the Design:
Finish with a quick-drying top coat to protect your design and give it a glossy shine.
