Nail Art: #31DC2014 Day 22 Inspired by a Song

This challenge was extremely difficult for me! I love music and listen to it every day, but I have a difficult time putting music into visuals. I remember feelings I get when I hear songs, but not images. I didn't want to recreate scenes from music videos either, because that felt like cheating. Finally, after scouring youtube for ideas and rediscovering music I haven't listened to in ages (Chuck Berry!) I came across Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood. I have embedded the video at the bottom of the page, just so you can listen to it! I don't know why I love it so much, but it just makes me happy in the way that cinnamon perks up my coffee. When the song was new, it was one of those I had to listen to over and over again. So I did a loose interpretation of sweater weather nails. I used Essie Rock the Boat and Color Club Abyss as well as Maybelline Bold Gold as an accent. I used matte top coat, again.

I kind of like the simple irregularity of the knit pattern I painted. I wanted it to look much sharper, but I couldn't get it to work. Lo and behold, I actually kind of like it. So what do you think? Do you like the song, or is it just me? I really love these teal colors together as well, it makes me think of cozy sweaters! I have a teal sweater I vaguely used as inspiration, which is why I chose this color. I hope you like it! One more post and I will be done with this 31 day challenge!!
