Hello dear pond, long time no see.
It's been almost a year since the last time I did a jelly pond. I don't really know why since they look awesome and are so much fun to make.
To make a pond you will need three things:
- a jelly polish of your choice.
- a white creme polish.
- some sort of dotting tool, if you don't have a dotting tool you can use a bobby pin or the top of a needle instead. Google "home made dotting tool" and you will find more things you can use.
Start with one coat of your jelly, after that you apply a few dots on your nail. Then you repeat the process with a new coat of jelly polish and new dots. The amount of layers you will need depends on how sheer your polish is. I have three layers of dots, and four layers of polish. The most important thing when doing a dottipond is time, patience and thin layers of polish.
The polish I used is Grape juice from Colors by Llarowe. It's a polish that works really well for both ponds and jelly sandwiches. The white polish I used is a rather new one in my collection. It's 323 from Dance Legend and is a pure white. I was hoping that it would be the perfect white but it is kind of sheer. I think it will require three coats for full opacity. Therefore the searching for the ultimate white continues.

Until next time, take care!
