A Weekly Dose of Rainbows: April Showers

I'm beyond thrilled with how this week's A Weekly Dose of Rainbows mani turned out! Since our theme is "rainbow showers" I started on a rainbow striped base. I used red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, then mixed a couple different shades of those colors to make my lines slightly more gradientesque than just solid, bold stripes. For my base I used:

• LOOK Rocket's Red Glare
• Sally Hansen Firey Island
• Color Club Almost Famous
• Sally Hansen Grass Slipper
• Sally Hansen Fairy Teal
• Sally Hansen Byte Blue
• Sally Hansen Thinking of Blue
• China Glaze Plur-ple

Over all of that I added a matte topcoat, then for my faux raindrops, I let a glob of Seche Vite thicken up and dotted it randomly so it would keep its shape instead of self-leveling.

And a few shots of the striped rainbow base shiny before I added the "raindrops" because I just loved how it looked too, and wore it that way for an entire day first:
