The Polished Bookworm book for March was Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was pretty suspenseful and I was reading every chance I could get: while I was brushing my teeth, walking in to work, lunch break, before bed. Part of the suspense is in the format. One chapter is written from the point of view of the husband, Nick, while the next chapter is narrated by the wife, Amy. They switch back and forth throughout the whole story so I was always wondering what was going on with the other one. I don't want to give away too many spoilers in case you haven't read it yet.
As much as I enjoyed the book I had the hardest time coming up with an idea for my nails. In the end I went with the love notes Amy left for Nick with her scavenger hunt clues. I painted blue nails for Amy's signature stationary and used her bold words that comforted Nick so much at first and later taunted him when he found the last one- DONE.
The blue is two coats of Wet n Wild, I Need A Refresh-Mint. Not sure why this one has mint in the name since it's definitely blue. I hand painted the words with black acrylic paint and stamped on the blood splatter using Bundle Monster plate BM-416 and Mundo de Unas red stamping polish. I also painted on some grey squiggly lines meant to look like love notes at a distance with the bigger words jumping out. Meh. It didn't turn out how I'd pictured.
This book was so complex and full of mind games. I can't wait to see how everyone else interpreted it onto their nails.
I love your inspired mani! It's a wonderful use of Amy's words.
