Gobsmacked

Lately I've gotten back into sewing, a pastime that I neglected for over a decade, (if you don't include needlepoint) and I've found SO many amazing fabrics and fabric patterns, and they are super inspiring!! Today's nails are, like yesterday's nails, based on a piece of fabric that I bought! (I'm thinking I might do fabric week this week! :-P) I loved the colors, and the geometric pattern, and I had to have it- even if it was $10 a yard. (I bought an 1/8th, lol...what? I'm cheap!) Plus, I totally think it looks like a cross-section of a Gobstopper candy, hence the post title. Anyway, to the nails...

The fabric that inspired it all...

The nails:

I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with Zoya Jancyn for the inner ring, CND Electric Orange for the next ring, MAC Damone Roberts 1968, and Orly Snowcone for the outer ring. Topped everything off with two coats Seche Vite top coat.

Hold the Phone!

A couple of days ago, I posted a picture of an iPhone case that I made for my phone...well, today's nails are inspired by the fabric I used to make that case! I swear, I have a ton of manicures in mind right now- all inspired by fabric prints! How awesome is that?

I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with China Glaze Flyin' High for the teal paisley, China Glaze Salsa for the red paisley, L.A. Girl Army Green for the olive paisley, and Pure Ice Wild Thing for the chartreuse paisley. Outlined all of them with Nubar Milk Chocolate Creme and topped them all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

I hope all of you had a great long holiday weekend!! :) (and here's to Tuesday not feeling like a Monday *crosses fingers*)
