Smoking Agro

Today's mani, using the colour "Agro" from the Hunger Games Collection by China Glaze. It got the most votes from my pals on Facebox.

 

 

So after getting the tallied up votes from yesterday, Agro came out on top, but only by one vote. After trying a couple different things (and none of them working) I came up with this magical idea. So the base is Agro, while I sponged on a black gradient using "Black Creme" from Wet N' Wild. The smoke, which looks more like cobwebs, was created by doing a watermarble. The water marble was created using "White Creme" and "Clear Top Coat" by Wet N' Wild.

Enjoy, I'll be posting more mani's using my Hunger Games polishes in anticipation of the movie.

Hunger Games by China Glaze

So I've finished reading The Hunger Games series, and I loved it, aside from the last book being depressing (was it just me who felt that?).

But, aside from that, I saw the actual collection ages ago, and fell in love, then after seeing various swatches from the other Nail Polish Blogs I decided which colours I had to make a mad dash for.

So here they are:

So after ripping open the packaging of my newest little joys, I thought maybe I had made a mistake in my choice of "Foie Gras" and "Fast Track". In the bottles they didn't look so nice. Even under better light.

Dress Me Up

Fast Track

Fast Track, different pose to show the shimmer.

I don't know, when they were in the bottles, they looked a tad off to me, but after swatching them I realized why I bought them to begin with. I'm just in love with Fast Track and Agro. I might have to go out and get a second Fast Track, I have a feeling this will be one of my go to shades like "Tempt Carnation".

So I hope you enjoyed my photos and random little comments. I pre-ordered mine from Sally's about a month ago, but as my lovely friend Carly told me (a few days back) they're in store now for a much higher price than $3.50/bottle when I ordered them. Thank you :)
