Hello & welcome! After so many swatches going up on the blog, I'm excited to show some bright summery nail art for a change!
I was scrolling the internet and wishing to myself that there were more colors available for fluid art, I just have the Sinful Colors hypnotic transforming top coats. So I wondered if mixing polishes would yield in new ones - I tried SC Redrum and a basic white cream and was thrilled to get pink - and it was forming cells as I watched! I added 1 drop white and 1 drop Redrum onto the lid of a container and swirled them together with a dotting tool - you can see the variation in colors depending on how well blended they are or if there's a disproportionate amount of color. But to test if the colors flowed (aka "fluid") I drew a smile line with a bright green and a darker green and tilted my lid. Greens used are Bonita Shark Bait & The Best Mint. I initially tried to do this like drag marble - I did a watermelon mani like that before- post here- but couldn't quite get it to work.
As you see from my work in progress pic - I added french tips with the darkest green to make sure there was enough of a rind, and applied the decals. The decals dried for a few days because I didn't get to them right away, but Wet n Wild Clear Protector is always reliable to save super dry decals.
And of course to finalize that watermelon feel, I stamped back seeds from plate Uber Chic Beauty plate 9-01 and ta-da!
