Bird Stamping Nails for Polisher's Inc. Favourite Music

This Sunday's nail art challenge from Polisher's Inc. was to create nails to match my favourite music.

This one was kinda tricky for me as I love all types of music (as long as it's not trash metal or folklore music).
I also didn't have a favourite song to guide me as those vary - we change through time and so does our taste.

 So, I chose to represent how music makes me feel instead:

Music is quite liberating, hence the little birds.
It lifts us up when we're down, it keeps us company if we're deeply sad, it makes us wanna dance our sock off when we're happy, so, yeah... music is liberating :)

I started by making a sky soft gradient, using two pastel shades: Flormar Beauty Toys BT01 Cookie Monster and Flormar Beauty Toys BT04 Purr Cat.
I do love how it came out - the perfect background for my birds.

I did the birds with stamping plate BP-24 and Inglot O2M No.692.
It's not perfect stamping, I know, but I quite like the end result nonetheless.



How about you? What's your favourite music? And what does music represent to you?

Hugs & Kissies,

    This is quite beautiful, and it makes me think of floating through the air and light as a feather - both things that music makes me feel.

    This is a lovely design and I can relate to the image and the feeling of freedom it represents. Music makes me feel a sense of space ... I love how it pushes everything else out and I just have to focus on the sound only.
