I love you…I know {Candy Heart Nail Art}

February 10, 2014

Today kicks off the start of the Week of Love nail art
challenge! It’s a five day challenge, and there is a new theme each day.  The challenge we were given for day one, was “candy
heart sayings”.
At first I was honestly a little bummed. I’ll admit it; I
was never a fan of those candies. If I’m going to have sweets, 99.9% of the
time it better have chocolate involved.
But then it occurred to me, I could make up my own candy
saying since I don’t actually know what is on them anyways. And to put a little
more “me” into them, I added my nerd flare and put in the infamous Star Wars
quote…..

I did put a matte finish on the nails with the quote, but I didn’t want to matte-ify the others. And if you are looking at these thinking, “OMG those look horrible”, well get in line. I’m still learning my freehand painting, so until I hit that level of awesome, you’re going to just have to deal with the “in progress” stages.

If you aren’t familiar with that quote (shame on you!) here
it is:

Make sure see what everyone else is sharing in today’s
challenge:


Oh, and if you want to join in tomorrow or any time during the rest of the challenge, here are the themes:

      Awww, I'm glad I'm not the only Star Wars fan in our group 🙂 Maybe there are others lurking lol. I think my original free hand is atrocious, but this is the "improved" versions lol. You'll have to keep trying your free hand, it's bound to get better 🙂

    I love that line in Star Wars. Rumour has it, it wasn't even in the script – Harrison Ford made it up, and it's been movie history ever since.

    I think this is a great take on this theme! I hate doing lettering, I'm still trying to get it to look more uniform, so I think you did a great job here! 🙂

      I borderline despise lettering, but I have to learn to do it. Or at least I think I have to learn to do it. Have you tried using the striping tape as a guide?
