Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Fruit

Hello lovelies!

Guess who has gotten really good at multi-tasking!...overnight...Like so good that I got like 5 manicures done, edited all the photos, and wrote today's posts all while watching 7+ episodes of Criminal Minds! #productive

Oh, and I hit 1000 Instagram followers yesterday! It still shocks me that so many of you are interested in what I do here and continue to read/look at the photos. I can't thank you guys enough!<3

Anywho, onto the nails!

Brownie points to whoever can guess what fruit these nails were inspired by!

Here's what I used:

Okay, so if you don't know, I did nails inspired by a Kiwano/Horned Melon! I guess it's a fruit native to Africa? Maybe, I know we sell these at my job....in Central New York...so....fancy!

These nails started with 2 coats of Francis and some topcoat. I used some more green polishes and the watercolor nail art technique to create the base. The seeds were free handed on with Neely. And finally, I used a striping brush to add the outline.

I've never done fruit nails before but I do think they're perfect for summer! Even if these don't really look like the actual fruit, I like the colors used. The bright green and orange-y/yellow combo will be seen again!

Here's the challenge graphic:

Thanks for reading guys!

  3. According to google, it tastes like a "combination of banana, melon, cucumber, and lime?" Sounds interesting. But thank you!
