DIY Under $5 {Watermelon Toenails}

Watermelon Toenails

1. Paint pink/red base coat. Allow to dry.

2. Tape off the tips with the french manicure stickers.

3. Paint tips green.

4. Remove tape strips. Either take them off when the paint is really fresh or after it has dried for a long time, otherwise it will make the edges furry.

5. Use a toothpick to add a black dot in the middle of your nail. Use the opposite tip to drag the dot to a point making a teardrop shape. Repeat putting three “seeds” on each toenail. I did not do seeds on my pinky toenails because they are tiny.

6. Cover with a clear coat to add shine and protection.

Put on some sandals and enjoy your cute watermelon toenails! As an update, I did these watermelon toenails on like the 15th of July and I still have them! They have lasted way longer than I expected!

Cost:

Green polish: $1.80

Coral polish: $1

Other supplies on hand

Total:$2.80 {not bad for a cute pedi}
