Hi guys, I hope you're all doing well. Today I have another TPB mani to share with you. The book chosen for March was The Utterly Uninteresting & Unadventurous Tales of Fred, The Vampire Accountant by Drew Hayes. I was inspired by Krystal dressing up like a devil for the high school reunion. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the book like I thought I would. I'm not sure if it was because I listened to the audiobook instead of reading it myself, but my library didn't have a copy of it. Fred was a bit annoying though, lol, but that's just my opinion. Well, anyways let's get to the mani.
I started off with black as my base color on my index and pinky, a reddish-black jelly on my ring finger, and a red glitter polish on my middle finger. Afterwards, I began to paint a devil tail on my pinky, first with white acrylic paint and then with red. I did the same thing for the pitchfork, the only problem was that the middle part was supposed to be longer than the sides but I forgot and noticed after I had already top coated. So yeah, lol. With black paint I outlined my ring nail and added criss-cross lines, then added the lips charm. For my glitter nail, I just sponged on the red glitter all over the nail and added one coat of the black/gray glitter, plus a rhinestone to add a bit more to the look.

So what do you think? I wasn't happy with this mani, but I hope you guys like it.
Thanks for stopping by, until next time.

Hey everyone, I finally had the chance to do my TPB post. The book that was picked for March was Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. It was on my to read list after I heard about the movie actually. I didn't know it was a book, and when I heard the movie was good, I knew I had to read it before watching the movie. The book was pretty good, even though the ending was completely different than I thought it'd be. But it went perfectly with the story when you think about it. The day after I finished the book, I watched the movie and really enjoyed it. I thought they did a decent job and didn't change it a whole lot. I ended up picking a part of the book that shocked me. SPOILER ALERT!!! Look away now if you don't want to know: I was shocked when Amy murdered Desi. I couldn't believe she actually got to the point of killing someone. The whole making up stories and framing Nick was different, they were lies. I know they weren't little lies, but from lying to killing? That surprised me.
So, on my pinky I painted the twine Amy used to do the ligatures on her wrists and ankles. To be honest, it looks pretty weird to me, lol. On my ring finger is the bloody knife she used on Desi, and my index and middle finger have blood spatter. The knife and twine were done with acrylic paint. I used KleanColor "Blood" to do the blood splatter. This mani isn't really my favorite, but yeah.
With the book:
