Watermelons!

It's summer!  Why not celebrate it by eating some fresh fruit, hanging out by the pool/ocean, and having some good 'ol fun?  I'm quite the homebody myself, but I do enjoy the things that summer offers!  Therefore, I decided to go for some watermelon-themed nails!  Can't get much more summery than that, right?
How I did it:
1.  Start with a base coat.
2.  Paint a pink polish across entire nail (various pinks could work for this - this was the closest I had)
3.  Paint a french tip on all nails with a green color (I used Sally Hansen Hi-Def color)
4.  Allow to dry
5.  Using either a nail pen or a nail brush with a very thin tip, paint your watermelon seeds.  I did these diagonally outward towards the tip.  I chose to do 3 per nail, but more or less would work fine I'm sure.
6.  Finish up with a top coat

Hope you enjoy them!
