You first need to purchase some water decals. Choose what ever design you like. These decals are find metallic gold dotted desins.
These decals will create watermelon designs.
Next select a nail polish and paint your nails in that colour. The colour you choose will depend on what decals you are using. Make sure you wait until the polish is dry before you start to apply the water decals.
After your nails are dry, cut out each water decal you will use on your fingers and soak them in some water.
After about 30 seconds to a minute, the water decal will slide off the backing paper.
Here is another design water decal, ready to be placed on the nail.

This design was created by painting the nails with only one colour, watermelon pink, and then placing the water decals on the nails. The water decals had the green tip, the black dots for pips as well as a fine silvery stripe at the french tip.
