Steps

  1. Remove any old nail polish.

  2. Paint your entire nail a light pink or red, the color of watermelons. The color in the photo is O.P.I's "A Dozen Roses".
  3. Let dry.
  4. Paint a green tip. If you don't have a thin brush meant for this you can use a tooth pick or tape. The picture used Nail Art by Milani.
  5. Let dry.
  6. Add the seeds. Use a black nail pen (or a tooth pick or a bobby pin dipped into the black regular nail polish.) Try not to form bubbles with the polish. Bubble take longer to dry and are easier to smudge. For the photo, a two way nail art brush and pen from dELiA's was used.
  7. Let dry.
  8. Put a clear coat of nail polish to keep longer lasting. For the nails in the photos, E.L.F nail polish was used.
  9. Enjoy your gorgeous fruity nails!



Tips

  • Wait for design to dry before using top coat. Otherwise it will leave your beautiful design smeared and ruined.
  • Always use a good top coat to leave a beautiful shine, and make your design stand out!
  • Always use a base-coat when working with darker colors, or neon colors. It will stain your nail if you don't!
  • The base coat also protects your nail.
