Musical Mani Monday, week 3: Aerosmith - Pink

I'm so sorry for the delay on this post, but I have hardly been home the last 3 days.

Anyway, this weeks song is Pink by Aerosmith and of coarse there was only one way to go with this mani for me: PINK!

So I put on Appeal4 - Honeysuckle Chok as base for the mani.

Appeal4 is a danish brand that is 3free and animal cruelty free. Honeysuckle chok is a pink creme from their core collection that came out spring last year. The formula was great and it was almost opaque at 2 coats, but I put on 1 more to be safe. Drying time was average.

I used 1 layer of top coat for the photos.

For the challenge I really wanted to do some hand painted nail art since it's been a while since I did that, so I mostly used the lyrics as inspiration for my design. Here are the lyrics:

Pink it's my new obsession 

Pink it's not even a question, 

Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause 

Pink is the love you discover 

Pink as the bing on your cherry 

Pink 'cause you are so very 

Pink it's the color of passion 

'Cause today it just goes with the fashion 

Pink it was love at first sight 

Pink when I turn out the light, and 

Pink gets me high as a kite 

And I think everything is going to be all right 

No matter what we do tonight 

You could be my flamingo 

'Coz pink is the new kinda lingo 

Pink like a deco umbrella 

It's kink - but you don't ever tell her 

Pink it was love at first sight, and 

Pink when I turn out the light 

Pink gets me high as a kite 

And I think everything is going to be all right 

No matter what we do tonight 

I want to be your lover 

I wanna wrap you in rubber 

As pink as the sheets that we lay on 

Pink it's my favorite crayon, yeah 

Pink it was love at first sight 

Pink when I turn out the light 

Pink it's like red but not quite 

And I think everything is going to be all right 

No matter what we do tonight

I figured I could paint some of the items Steven Tyler mentions in the song so I went for the spots I have highlighted. 

Index finger is supposed to be a crayon, on the middle finger there's a flamingo, on the ring finger some kites and on the little finger cherries. The crayon didn't turn out as planned, but I'm pretty happy with the rest of them.

For the thump I got a little inspired by the music video. There's a lot of different people appearing in the video and one of them is a skeleton (with Steven Tyler's head):

So I panted a skeleton on my thumb.

And here is a photo of the whole mani.

What do you think?

Here is the music video if you feel like watching it:
