Yes, I too was sucked into the world of Ms. Anastasia Steele and Mr. Christian Grey. I came across the Fifty Shades series by accident actually. I was on my iphone in the ibooks store and was in search for a new book to read. I looked in the Top Charts section and saw the Fifty Shades trilogy in the top three slots. I decided to read Fifty Shades of Grey and was hooked.
For the mani, I used Maybelline Onyx Rush, Essie Size Matters, Revlon Metallic, and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. For the thumb I tried to portray Anastasia's infamous lip biting. The pointer, middle and pinky loosely showcase the three book covers. The ring finger represents the "red room of pain" and my attempt at painting the end of a flogger.
