Catching Fire Inspired Nails

Hi friends! I was trying to go to sleep right now, but I can't. Partially because I took a caffeine pill this morning to stay awake to do homework and partially because I'm too excited to share this mani with you. I finished reading Catching Fire about a week ago so I could finish it before the movie comes out. If I could do freehand nail art, I would've drawn a mockingjay pin, but since I can't I got creative. I decided to do a mani inspired by Katniss's wedding dress she wore in her interview before the Hunger Games. I used so many polishes for this mani I don't think you want to know, but I'll go ahead and tell you anyways.

For my index and middle I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and stamped using MoYou London Pro 06 XL in Essie No Place like Chrome. On my ring finger I did a gradient first using creme polishes and then with some shimmery polishes. The colors I used are: OPI All I Want for Christmas is OPI, OPI My Paprika is Hotter than Yours, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, China Glaze Bend over Backwards, China Glaze Riveting, and OPI Oy Another Polish Joke. I stamped using MoYou London Pro 05 XL in Konad Black. My pinky has OPI Liquid Sand Emotions.

Whew that was a lot of polish! That might be a record for me for most polishes used in one manicure lol. I'm going to watch the movie on my birthday this Sunday. Can't wait! Who else is going to watch Catching Fire this weekend?

Effie Trinket Inspired Nails

Happy Hunger Games! So I'm sure tons of people have read the book and/or watched the Hunger Games this weekend. Honestly, I hate reading, but after hearing about the China Glaze Capitol Colours Collection and all the bloggers talking about how excited they were, I decided to read the book. I'm so happy I did because I loved it! I also watched the movie this weekend and I really enjoyed it. Anyways, with all the Hunger Games in the air, I decided to do my nails inspired by the mani Effie Trinket wore during The Reaping. I used China Glaze Traffic Jam as my base and then sponged on O.P.I. Bling Dynasty and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Golden-I.
