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

So what is your favorite “love” quote of all time?
Aaaaaah! Star Wars is my favorite movie and before you even brought that up I knew what it was!!! Aaaah the good ol' freehand. Well I think it looks great for freehand! My writing would have been unintelligible LOL!! Oh and I hate those little hearts too, bleck!
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 🙂
How cute are these?!
Thanks Lisa! I love these, even if they aren't 100% perfect.
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 did not know that! That is so cool! Thanks for sharing, now I've learned a little extra something about Star Wars *whooo hoo* haha.
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?
