Press Sample
The boyfriend wanted watermelon nails, so why not?! I decided to do a gradient with a sponge, and after I finished, I realized how much easier it would have been to stamp the gradient! So I fully plan to re-do this manicure, but I did like the look of this anyway. It's one of those nail arts that look great in person but meh in photos!

I feel like my boyfriend and I have eaten watermelon every week since the summer started. We have half of one in the fridge right now. It's just a staple of summer! When he requested watermelon nails, I almost did a stamped look. I'm all over the place, so I opted for a sponge gradient.
I started with a base of Jessica Phenom Gumdrop, which I've been using a ton lately! You should see my huge dent in the bottle!

I didn't quite do enough of the actual watermelon fruit red. I think this would have been easier to achieve the balance by using a black image on a stamping plate, so that's why I want to redo it. But I still think it's a summery and recognizable fruit on my nails!

I have a super cute summer fruit plate, so I'm going to try and whip up some fun fruit looks soon. They've be on my nail art to do list forever (yes, I have one!).
What's your favorite summer treat?!

Super cute but it makes me hungry. I have half a watermelon in my fridge too and I want to cut it to match your manicure.
ReplyDeleteNom nom. Cut it up! I ate mine yesterday while wearing these nails. So meta.
DeleteBeing that I am a watermelon freak (my dog too!), your nails make me crave for more watermelons
ReplyDeleteIt’s so refreshing. Both my nails and the fruit!
DeleteI love how this turned out! Watermelon nails are always on my "I want to have those" list during the summer.
ReplyDeleteSame! I always mean to do them and now I finally did!
DeleteThis is so cute!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Your watermelon design looks so real, I thought it was decals at first.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I’ll take that! Haha. Thanks!
DeleteWell these are super cute!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE watermelon so these nails are totally up my alley. I never thought of doing a stamp for it though! Stamping has come SUCH a long way from when I started!
ReplyDeleteI didn’t stamp these. These are a gradient with sponges. There’s a blank image plate for stamping gradients though, and it creates a smoother look!
DeleteWatermelon Nails!! I loved how this manicure turned out. The gradient between the colors were so well done.
