Red and Black Book Binding Nail Art

I have just about zero time for a post today (I'm running late for work as I write this!), but I still wanted to put up this red & black stamping/tape manicure before the weekend. I'm not really sure how or why I came up with the idea, other than I was just in a red & black mood (as I often am), but my husband said it reminded him of a fancy book binding. I thought that seemed strange at first, but after scrolling through these image search results, I think I see where he's coming from! So now I can't help but think of this as the book binding manicure.

Polishes and supplies used:

• Zoya ZsaZsa
• Essie Licorice
• Pueen plate 73 from the Stamping Buffet collection
• Striping tape

I'm not sure why I love this sideways angle for pictures so much, but I think it's becoming one of my favorites!

Thanks for looking!
