Plaid Sweater Weather Nails

I'm back! I feel really bad that my blogging has been so intermittent lately. With moving, and my nails being destroyed because of it, I have had a bit of a difficult time getting back into it. I really wanted to participate in a group challenge though. There is a facebook group for nail polish lovers in the Pacific NW, and the theme for the challenge is sweater weather! I wanted to do a plaid look for it, so I created one using OPI Christmas Gone Plaid, LAMB, 4 in the Morning and Incognito in Sausalito. The first three are from Gwen Stefani Collections and I love her! Love Angel Music Baby is one of my favorite gold colors now. 

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.
