August 3rd is officially National Watermelon Day!  To celebrate this delicious summer fruit I have created a easy to follow Watermelon Toe design - Below you will find Step-by-step instructions, completed photos of the design, and a full video tutorial that can be found on YouTube.   Enjoy XO Gianna

Create this Gorgeous Design:

1. Paint 2 coats of polish on your all your toes expect for your accent toe.

 (Light Green Polish - Sinful colors "Innocent" )

 (Watermelon color - Essie "Bachelorette Bash" 

2. Apply a fast drying top coat to speed up dry time.

( My recommendation - Seche Vite - Not only does it dry your nails SUPER fast bust it also drys the layers of polish underneath. AKA NO WRINKLING polish)

ACCENT TOE -

3. While your waiting for you big toe to dry... create the green watermelon skin on your accent toe.

( Dark Green Polish - Essie "Mojito Madness)  

BIG TOE - 

4. Apply a fast drying top coat to speed up dry time on your big toe.

(My recommendation - Seche Vite)

5. On your hallux AKA Big toe create a white smile line that takes up a 3rd of your nail.

 (White Polish - Sinful colors "Snow me White" )

( Apply a round sticker - PS make sure you push down the edges, Apply a think amount of white polish, and quickly remove the sticker with a pair of tweezers)

Take a tooth pick and create uneven wiggly lines.

4. On your hallux AKA Big toe create a light green smile line that allows a small amount of your white smile line to peek out.

 (Light Green Polish - Sinful colors "Innocent" )

( Apply a round sticker - PS make sure you push down the edges, Apply a think amount of light green polish, and quickly remove the sticker with a pair of tweezers)

5.After you have allowed a few minutes for your polish to dry - Create the skin on tip.

6. Create 3 Watermelon seeds - 

Place some black polish on a bag and a medium dotting tool create 3 dots in the shape of a C

Take a toothpick and create a v at the bottom of each dot.

(Black Polish - Essie "Licorice" )

7. Final top coat

Apply glitter if you would like I'm going to add some to my silver Accent nails

Step two - Apply a quick trying topcoat and place a star in the center on the design. 

I found this Fergie wet and wild nail polish at my local CVS and I'm just going to add some stars to a Ziploc baggie and place the stars using a toothpick.
