   Step 1: Remove any old nail polish.

   Soak a cotton ball or pad with nail polish remover.
   
   Rub the soaked cotton ball over the old nail polish gently to remove the polish. , After applying a clear base coat apply a thin coat of pink or red polish starting at the base of the nail and working your way up. , Allow your nails to dry for about 10 minutes or until the polish is not wet anymore. , Carefully paint the watermelon rind on the tip of your nails.
   
   If you don't have a thin brush meant for this you can use a tooth pick or tape. , Rest your nails on a flat and avoid moving your hands as this will smudge the polish. , Use a black nail pen to create tiny dots to resemble the seeds of a watermelon. (or a tooth pick or a bobby pin dipped into the black regular nail polish.) Try not to form bubbles with the polish as bubbles take longer to dry and are easier to smudge. , Dry your nails for a couple minutes to continue the design. , Put a thin clear coat of nail polish to have longer lasting nails. ,
