Hello!
First let me say that in doubt of anything, Google is your best friend to look for answers. Day 4 of the ASBMF challenge is "April showers" and I had no idea what it meant. After researching, I learned that it is a time of year when it rains and I quickly looked some images online for inspiration. I found this beautiful image and wanted a mani that reflects it. Let me know what you think about it!

The last touch is one coat of Essie Matte about you, a top coat that gives a matte finish to any polish !

I'm really proud of this in the way that I was somewhat close to my original idea. Thanks for reading!

DeleteThe saying it's from is, "April showers bring May flowers." I was going to say it's a childhood nursery rhyme, but then I actually wondered where it came from, and since I'm horribly curious, I actually took the time to look it up. Apparently, it came from a gentleman named Thomas Tusser, who assembles a collection of writings he called A Hundred Good Points of Husbandry in 1557. In the section of April Husbandry he wrote:
ReplyDeleteSweet April showers
Do spring May flowers.
I had no idea it was *that* old! I figured it was probably something out of the Farmer's Almanac, but that's only since Benjamin Franklin's time. :)
Now that we've all learned our historical trivia for the day, I've just got to say that your mani reproduced the raindrops on leaves look SO very well! It's gorgeous! Great job!
Oh wow it is amazing how far this saying goes in time! Well I'm less ignorant today thank you!! A 100 good points of husbandry I'm going to google this i'm curious now lol
