Watermelon nails are the juiciest manicure of the summer

No, they have nothing to do with Harry Styles (and we tell you that somewhat reluctantly)

Watermelon nails are the juiciest manicure of the summer No, they have nothing to do with Harry Styles (and we tell you that somewhat reluctantly)

Cyclically there is a manicure that is fashionable. On Valentine's Day, for example, hearts are chosen, at Christmas snowflakes and gingerbread men, at New Year's Eve glitter and in summer something fresh. This season, watermelon is the favourite, probably because it is juicy and thirst-quenching. The very sight of it is refreshing and, at least for a while, makes you not think about the sultriness that has arrived in the city. The trend shows up in different shapes, styles and applications. There are nail artists who bring their flesh to the fore in a coral to fuchsia hue, with black dots to mimic the pips and the green, slightly rippled skin. There are those who opt instead for a poppy, all-over print on the nails, and those who like it minimalist and only hint at the shades. Even those who do not like overly complicated manicures will want to at least try a bit. And we are here to suggest the best tips from Instagram, depending on your more or less sugary tastes.


Nails in the classic shape of a watermelon







Yes, you read that right, watermelon fans will be delighted with this nail art. Each nail is a miniature of a slice, with the cuticles resembling the green of the rind and the lengths looking like a freshly cut slice of watermelon ready to be enjoyed.


Just a little taste

These are inspirations for those who do not like too flashy nails, especially those with a fruity theme. These hands have only one accent, watermelon. They are colourful but subtle, and a great way to be trendy without being totally immersed in the theme.


Watermelon in a French version





[average:35471] [average:35471]

A nude coloured manicure with only the tip or cuticle in the green colour of the outer layer of watermelon. Choose a flesh colour and, in addition to the lime green crescent, paint a fluorescent top coat that is reminiscent of fuchsia but not too overdone. It gives the impression of juiciness while remaining minimal.

This is the most creative and pop manicure. It consists of sticking on little watermelon stickers as you like or, for those who love craftsmanship, recreating miniature watermelons with a paintbrush. They will be just juicy enough and very personal because only you will have them.
