Classic Watermelon Tips
Green, white, and red French tips with black seed dots—simple, iconic, and totally Instagram-worthy.
Juicy Accent Nail
Keep your mani neutral or pink, then add one detailed watermelon slice on your ring finger for a cute statement.
Watermelon Sugar Ombré
Blend pink to green in a dreamy ombré fade for a soft, sweet watermelon-inspired look.
Matte Watermelon Nails
Give your fruity design a chic, modern twist with a matte top coat. It tones down the colors but keeps the fun.
Tiny Seed Nail Art
Go minimalist with nude or soft pink nails dotted with tiny black “seeds” near the cuticle or tip. So subtle, so cute.
Watermelon Slice Frenchies
Replace your classic French tips with mini watermelon slices—red or pink bases with a green rind tip and tiny seeds.
Watermelon Colorblock
Paint each nail a different watermelon-inspired shade—think soft green, hot pink, red, and a little black for balance.
Glittery Watermelon Nails
Add sparkly top coats to your pinks and greens for a fun, glittery finish that screams pool party glam.
Watermelon Drip Design
A bold pink base with a “dripping” green tip that mimics watermelon rind—perfect for a playful summer mani.
Watermelon Negative Space
Use negative space and fine-line art to create a chic, minimalist take on watermelon design. Think outlined slices with no fill, or seed art floating on bare nails.
Watermelon Coffin Nails
Go full glam with coffin-shaped nails decked out in juicy pinks, greens, and adorable hand-painted slices.
Watermelon Margarita
Use a watermelon-inspired color palette with a chrome finish for a futuristic twist on the fruity trend.
Pastel Watermelon Vibes
Instead of bright colors, go with pastel pink and minty green for a softer, dreamy look.
Watermelon Stickers or Decals
If you’re more DIY, add watermelon nail stickers over your base color for an easy yet adorable summer set.
Watermelon Fruit Salad
Why stop at watermelon? Mix it with other summer fruits like strawberries, lemons, or kiwis for a tropical fruit salad mani moment.
🍉 Final Slice
Watermelon nails are the ultimate summer vibe—whether you go bold, minimal, sparkly, or soft.
They’re fun, fresh, and perfect for sunshine season.
