Monday is upon us once again. Hello there my polished peeps! How was your weekend? The weather here was absolutely gorgeous. Perfect sunny days, temperatures in the 70s. Quite a change from the rainy summer we have had. Although, the weather didn't feel too summery, it felt more like fall. Weather like this makes me count my blessings when I look at what's happening in Texas. My heart goes out to all of those dealing with this horrific flooding. Truly, I am praying for you all.
Today's manicure is one of my last summery manicures....a watermelon gradient! I wore this mani last weekend at the annual family picnic where I work. Of course I had a watermelon shirt to match. Dumb me did pink watermelons instead of red like what was on my shirt, but it still looked cute regardless.
Let's take a look!
Colors Used:
- China Glaze - Lip Smackin' Good
- China Glaze - Lime After Lime
- ORLY - White Tips
Lovely, right? Same colors I used for my other watermelon manicure earlier this summer. How could I not use these though since they are the perfect color for a watermelon?? They work perfect for a gradient too. I was a tad hesitant on using Lime After Lime because sometimes those neon greens don't show up well over the white or for photos, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Super duper easy look to re-create. You first start out with a base of white polish. When that's dried, it's time for the gradient. I painted pink, white, and green on the make up sponge and dabbed until I got the desired look. I added a quick top coat before I added the seeds. I did those this year with a dotting tool instead of freehanding with a paint brush. I found that the dotting tool was a lot easier.
What do you think? Like these watermelons? Something you've tried or want to??
Until next time, <3.
