31DC: Day 22 - Inspired by a Song (Gradient Nail Art)

Big hello to you!

I feel very passionate about this one...inspired by a song!! There were actually only two songs that I thought about for this theme. The other one is Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. The one I chose is "I believe in you" by Talk Talk from The Spirit of Eden album. I find this song haunting. Words escape me when I try to describe it.
Here's the manicure inspired by this song and video. Blackest darkness that fades into a blue with depth and a hint of light at the end..at the tips.

Here's the video: 

And the lyrics:

Hear it in my spirit

I've seen heroin for myself
On the street so young laying wasted
Enough ain't it enough
Crippled world
I just can't bring myself to see it starting


Tell me how I fear it
I buy prejudice for my health
Is it worth so much when you taste it?
Enough there ain't enough hidden hurt
A time to sell yourself
A time for passing


Spirit

How long?

 This gradient was surprisingly hard to do...the white was tricky. And OH the clean up was the worst. Black and dark blue sponged all over the skin and cuticles. Sigh. Worth it?? Yeah :P



 I've read that it is an anti-heroin song and that the singer Mark Hollis' brother died after years of heroin abuse.  Makes it all the more haunting.

Well...I'm almost done with this challenge but some hard ones still ahead: 


 Hope you have a great day!
