Empress Ultimate Illusion Pasties are very special indeed! Designed in celebration of Manuge et Toi's 10th anniversary in 2018, this design is inspired by the hundreds of imperial brooches awarded to ruling figures throughout history.

Our Empress pasties can be made in any Swarovksi colour scheme you wish, with one exception: The fancy shape stones used in the outer rim of this design are available only in the hues listed in our drop down menu.

Empress pasties are limited to just three sizes. Each size has a slightly different design to create the best effect, using the special cut of the rhinestones used. See "About Sizing" for more information.

If you would like tassels with these pasties, please add them to your cart separately. Spinners will be embedded in your pasties and the tassels will be made to coordinate, automatically.

If you do not want tassels but do want spinners to be embedded, we're happy to do so at no additional cost! Simply add this request to the comment box at checkout.

Please note: ALL PRICES ARE IN USD.

All Manuge et Toi Pasties are made with our exclusive Ultimate Illusion Pastie Bases, and the best quality crystal rhinestones on the market. Read on for more details:
Our pastie bases are waterproof! That’s right: you can have all the champagne baths you like in these pasties, and they won’t weaken or warp. You can even swim with them, you lucky mermaids! ;)
Our Ultimate Illusion Pastie bases are semi-transparent, with a fine mesh overlay. They can be made to blend perfectly with EVERY skin tone. Some flesh/nipple tone may show through these bases (which is the beauty of their design), but we can adjust for more or less, and in different areas of the pastie, with Christina’s intricate and stunning embellishments.
Our Pastie bases work with all types of adhesives. We recommend using a tape rather than a liquid glue, for ease of cleaning. Always use adhesives designed for use on skin. Pastie tape or toupee tape peels off cleanly, saving you time and energy! However, glue will clean off of these bases beautifully, as well.
Historically, Manuge et Toi has exclusively used Swarovski Elements Crystal rhinestones. As of September 2021, however, these components are no longer available on the open market. Despite this hard fact, we will always use the absolute BEST quality rhinestones and crystal components available to us, providing that brilliant sparkle you crave!
Pastie dimensions vary, based on the design. Our pastie sizing is based off of the circular areola coverage provided by the pastie.
Manuge et Toi Ultimate Illusion Pasties are made to last a lifetime, with your help! Please read on for some simple care instructions, to keep them in good condition.
Keep your pasties in a hard container, to protect them against getting crushed.
Keep your pasties from being overheated (don’t leave them in a hot car, near a radiator, or in hot water, for instance). They are plastic, and could melt or soften, losing their gorgeous shape.
You can immerse your pasties in water, but avoid using any harsh detergents on them. Dry them throughly afterwards, to protect any metal components (ie: spinners) from getting damaged/rusting. If you swim in the ocean or pool with your pasties, it is a good idea to rinse them in clean water before drying and storing.
Cancellations are acceptable on a case by case basis, with the first 48 hours after purchase.

Returns: As every Manuge et Toi item is hand made specifically for each individual customer, we cannot offer returns, exchanges, or refunds.
Christina takes great pride in her work, and she wants you to be thrilled with any item she creates for you! If you are at all unsatisfied with your item(s), please get in touch as soon as possible, to discuss and resolve the issue.
