April Showers Bring May Flowers (spring nail design)


1. Start out with a gradient of blue/grey polishes. On my thumb I used one coat of black, and one coat o a charcoal grey (both shades of season colors). On my index finger, I first applied the charcoal grey and then two coats of OPI's I Don't Give a Rotterdam. On my middle finger I used one coat of Zoya Kristen. Then on the ringer finger and pinky finger I put on the light blue from the Shades of Season set.

2. On the thumb and index finger i applied cloud-like blobs with Zoya Kristen. On my middle finger I made cloud-like blobs with white.

3. I used a Navy blue polish and a toothpick to make raindrops on the stormy nails. 

4. On the bright nails, I used a toothpick and green polish, and a green striper polish, to make grass. 

5. Then I took a bright pink (Spoiled Plastic Flamingo) and neon orange (Orly Melt Your Popsicle) to make flowers.

6. I let all nails dry and finished up with a topcoat to seal in the design.
