It’s my favorite time of the month, it’s #MonthlyMani time – hurray!!  For June, the #MonthlyMani ladies and I have chosen the theme “Summer Picnic” and I could not be more excited!  I decided to go for something fun and, well, not too difficult, so I chose to create watermelon nails!

For my inspiration, I found this gorgeous manicure by Maria from So Nailicious – aren’t these nails fantastic?!  My own watermelon nail art is light years away, but I sure had fun anyway!  ;)

Here’s what I did:

1st – I started with a base coat on each nail – two pink and three mint

2nd – I painted emerald & mint stripes on each tip using a skinny detail paint brush

3rd – I finished up with slanted polka dot “seeds” and regular round polka dots

Polishes: shimmery mint teal – “Manda” by Julep // shimmery emerald green – “Becca” by Julep // watermelon pink – “MoMa” by NYC // deep blue black – “China Town” by NYC

Sooo, are you craving watermelon yet, because I sure am!  Actually, aside from fruit, my favorite picnic snack is french bread and fancy meats and cheeses.  What’s your favorite picnic treat??  ;)

As always, thanks for reading!
