Lightning Nails

I am so behind on my postings!!  For April, I wanted an "April Showers" themed nail art so I decided to go with "Lightning Strike Nails". I first did the design on my nail wheel to get a feel for what I wanted to do.  That ended up being the pics I used for the tutorial above.  When I actually did the design on my nails, I went with yellow lightning instead.  I'm still torn as to which I like better, but I think I'm leaning toward the white.  

This is basically a sponge nail art just like the galaxy nails except adding lightning.   The tutorial above shows the steps. It's pretty easy, just a lot of sponging in small areas.  Just be sure the shimmer colors over the lightning are sponged very lightly, it is to add glow not color so be careful not to do too much.  

Colors I used:

Black Base 

Grey cloud: Nails Inc - Porchester Square 

Dark Cloud: Sally Hansen - Slick Slate

Gold/Yellow: Sally Hansen - Quick Canary

Purple: Sally Hansen HD - Cyber

Light Purple: Sinful Colors - Purple Diamond

Light Yellow: Pure Ice - Best Friend

30 Day Challenge: Day 21 - The Weather. I used justtryinyournail's lightning tutorial for this one(tutorial can be found here)

Swatches of new indie polishes!  Of course I'm not going to just, like, swatch like a normal person.  Don't be silly.  They are sparkly though, which is just about all I ever ask of things.
