So for today, I have the “Inspired by a Song” challenge – I
chose “Cough Syrup” by Young the Giant. I dunno, I guess I just wanted to have
a good cry while I painted my nails. But I also thought it was descriptive and
I liked the design I came up with for it.
I knew I was going to paint some more detailed designs, so I
wanted a neutral background. I painted two coats of Orly Déjà Vu on all of my
nails, and then I used acrylic paints for all of the art, just because it was
easier to shade with craft paint than with nail polish. On my thumb, I painted
a drum for the line “A wet world aches for a beat of a drum.” On my index, I
painted a spoon of cough syrup for the line “One more spoon of cough syrup
now.” On my middle finger, I painted the words “Losing my mind” for that very
same line, haha. I used different shades of a pinkish-purple to make it look
like a gradient, even though there was no actual blending involved. On my ring finger, I painted a zombie and a realistic heart
for the line “These zombies in the park, they’re looking for my heart.” And
finally on my pinky, I painted a “Splash of the sun,” which unfortunately looks
like a sad sunny side up egg. I intended for it to look like a splatter spot
sun, but it’s the thought that counts. J
