| The finished look. I apologize for the poor camera quality. |
- Rimmel London 60 Seconds in #830 Camouflage
- Covergirl NailSlicks in #170 Rose Quartz (you can use any kind of pink that resembles a watermelon)
- Any brand of black nail polish.
- Kiss Nail Art brush (sold in packs of 3) in Beach Green
- Kiss Nail Art brush (sold in packs of 3) in White
- Dotting tool (if you don't have one, just make one out of an open bobby pin. Use the ends as a dotting tool.)
- Base coat (instead of using a base coat, I use a nail hardener)
- Top coat (matte or shine)
2. Using Rimmel's Camouflage, paint an even line around the edge of your nail. Remember, don't make it too thick since there will be more to the rind than just this.
3. Taking your nail art polish in green, draw an even stripe just above the one you just made.
4. Repeat with the white nail art polish.
5. Take your green nail art polish again and draw vertical strips from the edge of your nail, where the dark green is, up into the white so that it looks more natural and realistic. Wait until dry to proceed.
6. Taking your pink polish, fill in the rest of your nail. Be sure to leave the rind untouched, including the white area. If you must, tape the skin around your nail to prevent the nail polish from sticking onto it (less work later). Let dry completely.
7. Take your black nail polish and put a drop of it on a piece of paper. Take your dotting tool and carefully make a small dot, but without lifting, gently pull it upwards to create a teardrop shape to replicate the seeds. Make as many as you please.
8. Repeat steps for all nails.
9. Apply a top coat.
Now, even though this was the way I did it, I would recommend customizing it so that it looks how you want it to. Make the rind bigger if you want to, add less seeds, or do whatever you want, because when you do nail art, you're not just showing off your nails, you're showing off your personality too! So I hope you enjoyed this and have fun doing it!
