Watermelon nail art

Watermelon nail art

The polishes I used were:

- Guppy 19 (neon pink creme) & Nicōle by OPI You're An Angel (warm pink jelly w/ golden glass fleck) for the base, also Sinful Colors Forget Now (dark pink jelly w/ glass fleck) near the eponychium to give the pink watermelon flesh some depth.

- As for the gradation, I first sponged along the free edge with an opaque white creme, then with NYX Girls Sour Apple (chartreuse shimmer) and a franken of mine (lush light jelly green w/ golden microglitter), then applied smudged, squiggly lines of Rimmel Camouflage (mid-toned green w/ golden shimmer) with a nail art brush.

- The seeds were painted with white & brown acrylic paints and a nail art brush.

Rimmel Lemon Drop & China Glaze Crushed Candy

9 Comments so far

Rimmel - Lemon Drop, 2 coats

I've got good news for all of you who're trying to hunt down Maybelline Banana Puddin' - she has a dupe and her name is Lemon Drop. Plus, she's lemon scented! And streak-free in two coats! I was hugely surprised by how much I liked this colour on me, I'll be sure to wear this and other yellows in the summer. :)

Rimmel - Lemon Drop & China Glaze Crushed Candy, 2 + 1 coats

Crushed Candy is by far my favourite of the new China Glaze Crackle Glazes! Here it is layered over the Rimmel, without and with top coat. A pretty nice colour combination and not *too* 80's, I think.
