Hobby Polish Bloggers group is doing the theme of April Showers this month. I have been wanting to try out the Pond Mani nail art technique for quite sometime so I thought why not use that technique for this challenge.
This is what I came up with.
Pond Mani technique basically involves the use of a sheer polish. You apply the sheer polish then you do some nail art on it. This is followed by another few layers of the sheer polish. You repeat this process until you get the desired effect.
Things that I used are Aquarelle Tints No 10 from El Corazon, Silver Foil Polish Kaleidoscope from El Corazon (for the rain) and What's Up Nails nail vinyls.
Here is a step by step tutorial on how I achieved this nail art. I tried to capture the pictures at each stage. For the rain I used the dry brush technique using the silver polish. For every layer of dry brush 'rain' I coated with two layers of the sheer polish. On the accent nail I tried to create something like lightening using the nail vinyls.
I hope you liked my interpretation of the theme April Showers. Do check out other awesome nail art done by the other girls in our group.

We still have a random rain shower hit us despite the scorching sun, these April showers are a relief for sure but they are destroying the crops, I want my mangoes so I'll make do with the heat!
