Head back to school with summery watermelon red nails

Want to carry a little bit of sunshine with you when the summer's gone? A cheery watermelon red manicure may be just what you need to keep the back-to-school blues at bay.

When your vacation days are over, don't feel bad. Late August and September weather is often warm and sunny, so give your nails a coat of juicy color. This quick manicure will get you out the door in no time. Simply prep your nails for color with a base coat, and seal in the shine with a top coat. No drama required.

Materials
- Clear base coat polish (DND, 500)
- UV or LED lamp (not shown)
- Watermelon red gel polish (Red Carpet Manicure, Shot Caller)
- Clear top coat polish (DND, 400)

Instructions
1. Paint your nails with a thin layer of clear base coat polish, and cure it with the lamp.

2. Apply two coats of watermelon red gel polish, and cure it in-between coats with the lamp.

3. Seal your manicure with a clear top coat to keep it from chipping. Cure the polish with the lamp once more.

Stay pretty!
