Watermelon Nails!

Watermelon inspired nails are all the rage this summer, with so many different designs and interpretations, there are endless ways to achieve this look! I tried doing it for the first time and it was WAYYYY more simple to do than I thought. I have created an easy step by step tutorial on how to do watermelon nails!
First here are the colors I used:
From left to right- Revlon Fuchsia Fever, Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuchsia, Sinful Color's Innocent, last chance, and snow me white.
1. First thing you want to do is paint your base. For this I used Fuchsia Fever and topped it with Chunky Holo Fuchsia.
 
2. Next you want to paint the whole tip of your nail white.
 
3. After the white has begun to dry you can take your light green and paint over the bottom half portion of the white.
 
4. The last step is the detailing, with your dark green make tiny vertical lines over the light green (it is best to use a small brush to make these lines). For the seeds you need black, I suggest using a nail art pen for this because it makes it super easy to apply.
 
5. Lastly apply top coat and you're donezo!
 
It's okay if your detailing (lines and seeds) are not perfect, it only adds to the look and makes it look more real, besides what watermelon has perfectly placed lines and seeds haha!
Here is the final look that you can check out via instagram:
