Under My Umbrella-ella-ella


Imagine lounging comfortably on your couch innocently watching reruns of Season 1 of Grey's Anatomy, when all of the sudden—the cable goes out!? CRASH! BOOM! CRACK! FLASH! What? Where did that come from?! Five minutes ago there wasn't a cloud in the sky! Yeah well, welcome to monsoon season in India. I swear to god there is a switch somewhere 'upstairs' that someone flicks to change the weather here. It goes from pleasant weather to booming thunder that you can feel in your guts and lightning that looks like strobe lights–shall we call it strobe lightning?!

I know, I know. Another weather-related nail design, but Reader Rita said I HAD to do it since I mentioned it, and who am I to be a tease?! This design makes me smile when I see it, and I'm glad that I did it!

What's the weather look like where you live?




I used:

Who else finds it ironic that I took a picture of these nails on a sunny day? (I swear it was a crazy storm last night!)

  1. Ahh!! Absolutely love this!! If I had these on my nails, I'd be smiling too!! So colourful and fun!

    Weather is feeling much cooler than before which I am grateful for! There are more rainy days, but I'm not complaining! I prefer cooler weathers than hot ones ;P

  2. These are great - must make the weather just a little more bearable! It's actually been rather sunny here today, and in typical British fashion I was very excited about it this morning, but now I'm really quite fed up of being too hot.

  8. It's always sunny and 80ºF in my neck of the woods... and then hurricane season happens and its dark for a week and about 100ºF, yuck.
    Beautiful nail design. I love the weather inspired designs you've been doing!

  9. Oh, YAY! How cute!
    I swear I used to have a multicolored umbrella like that when I was a kid- except the colors were transparent. (it was a "bubble" umbrella- the kind that came down over your head and shoulders...) I LOVE the accent nail!
    The only thing bad about this mani is that now I have that song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" as an earworm- and the weather here has been nicer in the past two days than it has been all summer!

    Where I live is a little bit cooler than a month before and at night I have to sleep with a blanket over the sheet... At least it's not raining a lot XD

  16. These are amazing! Can't believe how many colours you used on one mani! At least all that rain gives you a good excuse to stay indoors and paint your nails ;)
