**Note. This polish was nearly impossible to capture on camera. I’m still not happy with how the pictures came out. This is a duo-chrome like you’ve never seen before. For those of you who were all head over heels for Essie’s The Twill Of It, this is like that but better.
You guys? I’m going mad. I spent the last few days manically searching for a song that I knew none of the lyrics to. The only word out of the entire song that I could remember was “hideaway” which is only slightly unfortunate since there are two songs out at the moment devoted to that word.
Do you have any freaking idea how hard it is to find a song when you can’t google a sound in your head? Yeah, it’s next to impossible. The song is nice and all, but there’s an instrumental bit in it that I just love. I did everything from search full albums of artists I thought the song might belong to, to stalking the radio station playlists like it would save my life.
Finally, last night at nearly 11PM, I found the song. I don’t know why it was so important to me, it was just a song I liked. But there you have an inside look into my brain where apparently music is really, really important. For what it’s worth, the song was Roses by The Chainsmokers.
Speaking of music being really important, I have a strange relationship with it. It 100% fuels my writing. So for weeks on end, I’ll listen to songs that make me feel a certain way, trying to capture that emotion from every angle so when I sit down to write, it pours out of me. Like a strange masochist, I’ll dive deep into the hardest and saddest moment of my life, the memories I’ve pushed outside of my head, sometimes ending in a puddle of tears in a coffee shop corner, all for the sake of a good scene.
Currently, songs on repeat:
Army, Ellie Goulding
Afire Love, Ed Sheeran
Wild Things, Alessia Cara
Sweetest Devotion, Adele
Happy Friday, friends!
You'll probably read this comment and wonder how we can be friends: I've not been listening to music for months now, so I have no idea what you're talking about. Also, my nails haven't been painted in months. But I have been using cuticle cream every night!
Happy Friday! 🙂
You are so funny! Did you try shazamming it? It's an app where you play a song and it tells you the artist name and song name. Works 100% every time for me. You just have to be able to Shazam it when the song comes on. Try it next time and see if it works! 😍
Thats such a pretty nail polish color! I love the glitter!!
Hmmm… as soon as I read your musical clue, the first song that came to mind was Daya's "Hide Away" which has been on the radio a ton lately. If that's it, I'll be forever proud of myself.

Love that polish, so pretty!! And it is so annoying when you don't know the name of a song or even who sings it and you're trying to google random bits of the song you do remember and nothing comes up.-haha Have a great weekend!
That polish is so pretty!! Perfect for the holiday season. 🙂 I will have to check out those songs too. I hope that you have a lovely weekend too friend! 🙂
If those pictures don't do that polish justice, then I can't even imagine it in person. Lucky that it also has a good name! 😉 Don't know how I missed that one!
Oh I hate when I only know a few pieces of a song and cant place it to search! Drives me mad!!!! Ellie is wonderful and I love everything she touches! Same with Ed too! That polish color is so pretty!! Have a great weekend!
That has happened to me too! I knew the song had the word "radio" in it…because that did me a ton of good. :/. When I'm feeling a certain emotion in life, I binge-listen to certain songs or artists (is that a thing? Binge-listening?) so it makes complete sense to hear you say it helps create a scene like that.
I have not listened to any current music in such a long time haha. I'm so behind.
LOLOLOL Google a sound in your head. Girl, I know that frustration allll too well! lol
I love that you listen to a sad song so much you can write that emotion from every angle. Poetic!
You have to enjoy your writing experience so do what works for you, every time, absolutely.
Oh my gosh…did you see Big Bang Theory this week?! That's exactly what happens to Sheldon and he spends the entire episode trying to figure out what the song is. Too funny!
