Spittin' Seeds

So, I'm sure some of you out there know that watermelon is incredibly popular in the south, I for one feel like it hasn't been summer without a really good watermelon. I found these little fruits and I couldn't help myself from making a watermelon themed design. I know it's been done before, but trust me next week I'll come up with something that will pop!

1. I started, like always, with a base coat to protect my natural nail from staining on both my fingers and toes. I use Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #110 Clear'd For Takeoff.
2. For my toes the second step was one coat of a sparkle red, I only did one coat to keep it from going too dark and also to keep the drying time down. 
3. The second step on my fingers was to make the french tip, I use the manicure pen made by Sally Hansen, with a steady hand it can be very easy to use.
4. On my toes I used the same pen to create a tip that would make the watermelon rind stand out better and create the fade of the watermelon flesh.
5. The third step for my nails was Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Shell We Dance the I used the same Clear'd For Takeoff to seal it.
6. The third step of my toes was China Glaze Watermelon Rind, I used another nail pen to create the seeds on the toes.
7. The fourth step for the nails was to add the tiny watermelon slices, I used Cina nail creations Fruit Salad and simple stuck them in place with a little clear coat and then sealed them in place with a final top coat for both my toes and fingers.

As always until next time
Happy Painting!
