It is difficult to come up with a more summer manicure than fruit and berry. Bright juicy colors - this is what you need for long hot days and short hot nights. Watermelon is a manicure that has not lost its popularity for quite some time. There are many ways to implement such an idea, but any of them is based on a combination of red, black, white and green. To make everything look as realistic as possible, do not forget about the stripes on the skin and seeds. To create a bright summer look, you will need applicators for straight lines and a tokai brush. With their help, you can easily make a neat manicure "Watermelon". Photos in the article will help you get inspired before work.
Ways
How to make nails look like slices of ripe and juicy watermelon? There are many ways. Neat watermelons can be obtained using special sticks for manicure made of polymer clay. For work you will need a very sharp knife, tweezers, glue for rhinestones and a dense transparent fastener. They come in many different kinds. Choose the one you like the most. It can be a slice or a whole ripe watermelon. A manicure with polymer clay attachments will look stylish and effective if you do not go too far with the decor. A pair of lobules on each nail is enough. Do not completely seal the entire surface with fragments.
Another simple way is decals, which are applied to the finished drawing. It is very clear and neat, so it can become a real help for those whose artistic abilities leave much to be desired. Just cut out the pictures of the desired size and shape, soak them with water, transfer to the varnished nails. When they dry, cover with a layer of fixative or colorless varnish. You can also use stickers that are applied on the same principle - they just need to be cut out, glued to the painted nails and fixed with a protective layer.
A good solution can be tips. False nails were once very popular. And now it is generally accepted that they have sunk into oblivion. Indeed, in fashion - natural forms. But what to do for those who have these very forms not so good by nature? Tips can be a great alternative to building. But the most popular way with which you can make a watermelon manicure is to paint with varnish or special paints.
Colors and textures
Decide on the color. Do you want to use the whole palette of watermelon colors, which includes red, white, black (or dark brown) and two shades of green? Perhaps you are prettier than a manicure in two or three colors?
In the work you can use both matte and glossy varnishes. It all depends on your preferences and capabilities. As objects for application, you can use bright pulp with seeds, juicy slices, perky striped peel. Before you begin, check on the draft, are the colors combined with each other? After all, not all shades of green and red look good together. If you want not only colors, but also textures, use accessories to create watermelon seeds. It can be small rhinestones of dark shades, half beads, manicure “caviar” or even transparent varnish with black sparkles.
Forms
Remember the rules for building a composition by drawing a watermelon. A manicure should adorn the hands, and not distort their shape. Try to opt for longitudinal rather than transverse lines, then the nails will look neater.
When drawing a crust of watermelon, play with the shape of a French or moon nail art, highlighting the overgrown part of the nail. “Watermelon” is a manicure that can be beaten in different ways. It will be very appropriate to look “special nails”, painted brighter than most others.
A little bit about relevance
Summer manicure "Watermelon" is suitable for a special occasion: beach party, travel, festival. But even in the heat it will not look relevant and appropriate in the office of a reputable company.
The nails painted with watermelons carry a charge of some carelessness and even frivolity. Remember that it is great for teenage girls, but it can look ridiculous on mature ladies. But if you have a vacation, then you can take a chance. A beautiful sketch and accurate execution guarantee increased attention to your pens.
