31 Day Challenge Day 24: Inspired by a Book

Afternoon dears! Today's challenge theme is inspired by a book. I am an avid reader and had sketched out lots of different design ideas for this day, but I eventually settled on an old classic from my childhood. Shel Silverstein books growing up were always fabulous to me. He is all sorts of awesome so I knew that I needed to do nails inspired by him. I was originally thinking of doing Where The Sidewalk Ends, but when I went to look for all my old books I only found Falling Up, so I took that book and copied some of my favourite drawings found in the book!

All I did for these, was use Milani White on The Spot as my base and then drew the characters using It's So Easy Stripe Rite Black. Added a coat of NYC In a Minute Top Coat and I was good to go!

I really loved all the Shel Silverstein poems growing up and my favourite one of his is actually,

Draw a crazy picture,  Write a nutty poem,  Sing a mumble-gumble song,  Whistle through your comb.  Do a loony-goony dance,  'Cross the kitchen floor,  Put something silly in the world  That ain't been there before."

These nails were really fun to do because I actually went through the book and picked my favourites as well as I went back and read all of the poems that had meant so much to me as a child.

I even took pictures of my nails with the book to show you that I actually copied these straight from the book! And made it in a nice pinnable format for you lovely folks.

I hope you enjoyed my trip down memory lane as much as I enjoyed doing them!
