52 Week Nail Challenge 2022: Song

This week's prompt is 'inspired by a song' here is a link to my 2012 version, as well as the image below my 2022 version;

 I was inspired by the song Black and Gold by Sam Sparrow, I also tried the French tip trick of using a jelly stamper which seems to have worked.
