31DC2014 - Day 22: Inspired by a Song

I knew straight away what I wanted to paint on my nails for today's 31DC2014 theme: PINK FLOYD! 

If you've been following me for the past month, you know I started a new job this month: I'm finally working as an English teacher and I couldn't be happier.

So, for today's inspired-by-a-song nail art I went with 'Another Brick in the Wall - Part II', to remind me of what's important about teaching - 'Part II is a protest song against rigid schooling in general and boarding schools in particular'.

Here's my Pink Floyd nails - I wore them proudly today!
Love, love, love them!

I started by freehanding the background brick wall on top of two coats of white - Inocos Pico.

It turned out to be easier than I anticipated really, so this was the simple part of today's nail art ;)

I took my inspiration from the album cover released in Japan (check it here).

And I can tell you straight away which was the hardest to paint...

The teacher's face, of course! I had to redo several parts more than once to get the proportions right and everything else that comes with it.

In the end...

I wish to dedicate this to my awesome Dad, who's infused my life with music from a very early age.

I mean, check out this 45rpm - it's my Dad's and it dates from 1980! 

I wasn't even born yet! heheh ;)

Do you also have fond music memories from your childhood? Let me know in the comments and also what you think about today's mani - are you a fan of Pink Floyd?


Hugs & Kissies,
