April Showers Challenge #4 - April Showers

For this challenge manicure,  the only thing I could think of was rain clouds.   For the base coat I used Sally Hansen's Blizzard Blue,  I picked up this color during one of my Target runs.  It is a light pearlescent blue that is quite sheer.  This picture shows two coats,  to get a color closer to the bottle you would need 3 or more coats.  But I was going for a light background for a nice contrast for my rain drops.

For the clouds I used LA Colors white and made a scalloped french tip.  Then topped it off with fine silver glitter from LA Colors.

For the rain drops I used Klean Color Beach Blue and one of my dotting tools.  Made a dot and dragged it upwards towards the clouds.
I then topped it all off with a coat of Seche Vite.
