Manicure Monday (25): The Mistress

MM-arrow-volupte

Hi and welcome to Manicure Monday, a weekly feature that combines my love of nail polish and reading. Each Monday, I’ll showcase one of my current reads along with a matching book manicure.

Hi, everyone! I hope you all had an awesome weekend. I got my X-Men on and saw Wolverine (fun and way better than the last one) and ate a lot of tasty food. Unfortunately it’s Monday which means work, but it also means Manicure Monday. This week I have a fun manicure inspired by The Mistress by Tiffany Reiz.

As you can see, I don’t have a physical copy of the book. I have an e-galley which doesn’t have a cover. I had to pull up this cover on its own on my phone an take a pic.

While I love this series, the cover to this one wasn’t particularly inspiring. So decided to go a manicure that I think embodies The Mistress herself, Miss Nora Sutherlin. I did a black base on fingers and stamped them with Cheeky plate CH11 with a fishnet pattern in silver. I figure that Nora is the type of Dom who would wear sexy fishnets to work. On my ring finger I made a corset using some tape and a dotting tool. The red is a color by Bondi NY called Horny Mistress. How could I not use that color for this manicure?  Finally, for the thumb I used a pure white, taped off a stripe, and then overlaid it with a matte black polish called Fetish. Aren’t these polish names perfect?
Colors used in this manicure:
  • Wet N Wild Black Creme
  • CND Silver Chrome (silver)
  • Bondi NY Horny Miistress (red)
  • Wet N Wild French White Creme
  • Cult Nails Fetish (matte black)

I also want to point out that the thumb has double meaning. Looking at it one way, it can represent Nora’s collar. Looking at it another way, it can represent Søren’s collar. Whoa – mind blown. :) I know, it’s kind of cheesy but I try. Sorry for the bad cleanup job on my thumb as well. Did not notice that until after I started editing the pics.
