Ludurana Acqualux Watermelon

Every time I looked down at my Ludurana Acqualux manicure that I have been wearing for the past two days, I was picturing watermelons. Something about the little black glitter speckled throughout the redish orange base that said I had to try this summery manicure. It was intended to be just a "test" that I ended up really liking, so please forgive the sloppiness.

I started out with Color Club Twiggie on the ring finger and on the tips. Once that was dry, I went over it with OPI Shatter the Scales* which cracked perfectly to replicate the pattern on the watermelon rind. After adding the slightly wonky white stripes (did I mention I was doing this at 1am?) and top coat, this manicure was good to go. It is not perfect, but watermelons aren't either :)

I first created a version without the accent nail, but the overly crooked white line on the ring finger was driving me nuts so I added the accent nail you see in the photos above. I'm still undecided if I like it better with or without an accent nail...

Which version do you like better? Any thoughts on accent nails in general?
Let me know what you think of this! :)

Ahh, this makes me crave summer even more! Where's the sunshine?

Thanks for looking!
Anutka :)
