The Girl on Fire

I have another Hunger Games themed mani for you lovelies today.

This one I'm sure you've seen plenty of already, but I felt I should try my own slightly

altered take on it. Keep reading for more details.

So for the base I used "Foie Gras" by China Glaze (The Hunger Games Collection). I painted on flames, and did the Mockingjay pin on my ring and thumb finger nails. I topped the flames off with a custom mix of glitter to make it look like ashes.

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.

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 :)
