Fruit Salad Nails

Nutritious and Delicious

It's basically a spin-off of my watermelon nails (which I actually used in this). Being very bored, I decided that if I could paint a watermelon (marginally well, lol) on a nail, then I could paint a whole darn fruit salad ;). It took me a long time to do, because I don't have those nice nail art pens (I really need to invest in those!), so all this was done with bottles of polish and a pinning needle. It was really hard for me, because I'm a)not very artistic, and b)a perfectionist. I ended up with okay looking nails. It includes an apple, a kiwi, a dragonfruit, a watermelon, and a strawberry. I worked off of google images, using the easiest fruits I could find (hence the dragonfruit, haha). It was made even harder by the fact that my nail polish collection, while gigantic, has very odd colours, and it was really hard to replicate certain fruits without the proper colours. I had to mix a lot of them to get certain shades, especially for the kiwi fruit. Hope you like it :)
