Dragonfruit Ruffian Mani

Dragonfruit Inspired Nails

Hi everyone.  I hope Tuesday is treating you well.  After today's kiwi nails, which you can see here, I heard multiple times that I should do a fruit week.  I thought it was a good idea and created these dragonfruit nails last night per the suggestion from my husband.  I've never actually had dragonfruit and had to do an image search to make sure I knew exactly what a dragonfruit was :)  Below is a picture for reference.  If anyone has any fruit they would like me to recreate, feel free to leave it in the comments.


To capture the look of the dragonfruit, I started with two coats of the magenta pink, OPI That's Berry Daring.  I then freehanded a ruffian with two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, which matches the greyish white inner fruit.  I used a small dotting tool to create dots in three colors, Essie Licorice, Zoya Noot, and Ulta Concrete Evidence.  It still didn't look quite like the milky inside of the dragonfruit, so as per the suggestion of my hubby, I added one sheer coat of OPI Don't Burst My Bubble over the dots to create a milky appearance.  I quite like the final result, what do you think?
