watermelon nails and diy fruit pops ♥

Hi everyone here is my first post hope you like it!  A diy for watermelon nails.. so cute! and a recipe for yummy watermelon pops! ♥

watermelon nails....

Supplies:
  • Coral, bright pink or red nail polish
  • Green nail polish
  • French manicure nail stickers
  • Black acrylic paint
  • Toothpick
  • Clear nail polish


1. Paint pink/red base coat. Allow to dry.
 
2. Tape off the tips with the french manicure stickers.
 
3. Paint tips green.
 
4. Remove tape strips. Either take them off when the paint is really fresh or after it has dried for a long time, otherwise it will make the edges furry.

5. Use a toothpick to add a black dot in the middle of your nail. Use the opposite tip to drag the dot to a point making a teardrop shape. Repeat putting three "seeds" on each toenail. I did not do seeds on my pinky toenails because they are tiny.

6. Cover with a clear coat to add shine and protection.

so cute!
