Pro Tips
Take your time with the nail art details for the best results.
If you're not confident in painting freehand, use nail art stickers for the watermelon and leaves.
Ensure each layer is completely dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Experiment with different shades of pink to achieve your desired look.
