DIY Watermelon nail art tutorial - Arts, Crafts and DIY

87 Comments

This is a really easy and fun tutorial. In the summer I let the girls paint their nails and they love having watermelons at their finger tips. I sometimes do them on myself too in summer!

Material

1 White nail varnish
1 Red nail varnish (watermelon flesh)
1 Green nail varnish (watermelon skin)
1 Brown/black nail varnish (watermelon seeds)
3 Tooth picks

Method

Remove any nail varnish and moisturize your hands so any mistakes are easy to wipe off
Paint your nails white and let layer dry
Paint the bottom 2/3's of our nails red with a slight curve as pictured
Now paint the tips green (same as you would the white for a French manicure)
Carefully dot on the "seeds" using your toothpick to complete

Notes

You can coat with clear if you want to keep the varnish for longer.

Quite a quirky design! Pretty basic looking. My skills might be enough to manage this

They’re so pretty! And I think I can do this design myself. Just need to grow my nails now
