Hi there guys!! I was stuck for this prompt, so I created a playlist of songs I could possibly do. Then I had too many ideas, in the end it came down to what song I wanted you guys to hear the most. So I chose "Something In The Water" by Brooke Fraser. It's one seriously beautiful song, from the melody, lyrics to the instrumentation, all uplifting and feel good. It's virtually the definition of a beautiful song.
What I painted is a scene from the video, a Russian doll on the sea. It looks kind of paper-y so that's why I made the design matte. I really like this, I don't have much else to say but I feel like you could see something like this in a children's book.
For this design I started with the base, drew the outline and filled in, simple as that really. But lots of colours were involved and a light touch for the little details.
Base: Ciate - Cookies & Cream and Nails Inc - Porchester Square when I needed an opaque polish to cover a mistake (it's slightly darker).
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
Pink: Essie - Your Hut Or Mine? (the perfect pink to match the video)
Light Purple: Barry M - Prickly Pear
Dark Purple: Illamasqua - Jo'Mina
Light Blue: Revlon - Blue Lagoon
Dark Blue: Kiko - 265 (which smudged which I was not impressed with)
Other colours for the sea: Revlon - Dreamer and Models Own - Indian Ocean
Boat: w7 - Brownie, Paris Collection - Mauve Melody and The Face Shop - GL112
Thanks so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed the song and have a great day!!!! :)
I got stuck. I had tons of songs
just no ideas of how to translate them onto my nails. Finally I thought of
“Anchor” by Mindy Gledhill.
Automatically an idea came into my head. I adore the album “Anchor”;
some of my favourite songs are on that album. I like the song, but compared to
the other songs on the album I don’t like it that much.
“When all the world is spinning round like a red balloon way up in the
clouds. And my feet will not stay on the ground, you anchor me back down.”
The anchor is so off
centered. It has a Snoopy vibe to
it, which makes me want to do Snoopy nails. Oo future idea!!! :D In general
it’s ok and I quite like it.
Colours used:
Blue: Barry M – Blue Moon
Peach: w7 – Sheer Peach
White: Natural Collection – White
and Sally Hansen – French White Tip
