WARNING R-RATED: NOTD inspired by 'Fifty Shades of Grey'

Hello!

Right off the bat I want to warn you that if you are offended by the topics raised by the book 'Fifty Shades of Grey', this manicure may not be for you, and you might want to skip this post and come back tomorrow. I'm going to put a warning up front here, in the title, and put up a warning picture as my first picture here, so that any thumbnail shown in Bloglovin' or elsewhere won't give you a surprise you didn't want to get, lol. I respect that this topic might not be for everyone.

Okay, now let's get to it! Like every other red-blooded American woman out there who doesn't live under a rock, I'm aware of the controversy that has been raised by the book 'Fifty Shades of Grey', and I've been involved in a number of discussions about the type of content it contains with various people. In the course of one of those conversations, I was challenged to do a manicure that reflected that content when I mentioned I enjoyed nail art challenges because they get me to stretch my artistic legs. How can I turn down such a challenge-related challenge!

Here is what I came up with:

For my base colors, I used China Glaze Adventure Red-y on my ring finger, and Milani red sparkle on the rest. I stamped using Pure Ice's Silver Mercedes, and used Bundle Monster plate BM12 for the chains, and Red Angel plates  RA111 and RA113 for the women.

No matter whether you like the book or not, it certainly raises interesting and important questions about what should be considered acceptable in this particular realm of our lives!

Thanks for reading. :)
