I'm not sure if Mark Twain was right when he said “when one has tasted watermelon he knows what the angels eat” as I have never been a huge fan of the taste but they sure do look cute. Like my palm tree mani I found inspiration for these watermelon slices on Pinterest. I knew as soon as I saw the print that I had to try it on my nails.
I used Barry M's Rosehip* as the base for this look as it is a really soft pink that wouldn't intrude on the pattern too much. For the melon slices I drew some white triangles using my Barry M white nail pen and then used a small brush to add Barry M's Grapefruit and Mint Green. To finish I used my black nail pen to add the pips. Experience has taught me to take a pic of my mani before adding something that I am unsure of hence why I have one with pips and one without. I'm not sure which is my fave - I quite like both
Which version do you prefer? Pips or no pips?

So cute! Well, if watermelons can be considered cute - they can, right? I'm a big fan of watermelons, I loooove eating them in the summer :) This design looks really nice, I think I have a slight preference for the version with the pips but I like the other version a lot as well :)
ReplyDeleteWe definitely think that watermelons can be considered cute! Seems like most people prefer the pips version - we are still undecided! E&J.xx
