Creating a pond manicure is fairly easy, I created a very similar manicure with heart's a couple of months ago. You simple alternate between layers of your design (in this case clouds) and sheer polish. On the previous design I started with a layer of sheer polish, however, this time around I started with my cloud layer first, and then applied a sheer layer. I continued alternating between clouds and sheer until I was satisfied. This time around it was about a total of nine layers; five layers of clouds, and four layers of sheer, beginning and ending with a cloud layer.
I love the cute little puffy clouds, which are simple random groupings of four or five dots. It makes me long to get up there in the skies. How I wish the weather would cooperate so I could do some flying (for those of you who don't know, my other hobby is aviation).
A pond mani is so easy to create and can be done with flowers or just dots, really any shape that you can draw can be used to create a pond mani. It allows you to practice one pattern repeatedly, and you can cover up mistakes with the next layer.
I hope you enjoyed this simple and cute, pink cloud manicure. As a side note, this is the first time I have ever completed a mani challenge. Even though I didn't get them all done for their weekly due date, I did get them all done before the final deadline. Hooray! Thank you for stopping by, see you next time.
Your Fellow Plebe,
Very cute! The mix of the pond technique and the color remind me of sunsets :)
