Watermelon and a Blue Zebra.

What goes great with summer?
Watermelon.

Did you know that every part of a watermelon is edible? Even the seeds and rind. Did you know the Japanese grow watermelons in boxes so they have a square shape? These toes belong to my cousin, Acelynn. 

This design is so simple. 

 Acelynn also wanted zebra on her nails. We decided on a blue background with black stripes. The ring finger is a pale green background with glitter stripes. This one is fairly simple too.

Wacky Watermelon

"When do you go at red and stop at green? 

...eating watermelon!" 

(according to my 8 year old cousin). 

A summer staple. 

A Fourth of July necessity. 

This design is really cute and fun for summer. 

Instead of a watermelon design that looked like a green french tip, 

I decided to switch things up and turn the 

watermelons all different directions to liven it up.

 The base color is a bright little-bit-darker-than-bubble-gum pink. 

Add random and alternating light or mint green tips and stripes to be the rind. 

Add contrasting smaller stripes of a darker green to the 

light green to be the stripes on the exterior rind. 

Finish off with a few black dots here and there for seeds and a top coat.

Summer Watermelon

Watermelon. Perfect for summer. This design was very simple to do, especially since it's only on one toe.

I used: Finger Paints base coat, Pure Ice in Flirt Alert, Pure Ice in Wild Thing, Pure Ice in Black Rage, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Emerald City, Beauty Secrets top coat, dotting tool
