peachy keen!

I love China Glaze's "Peachy Keen".  I decided to mattify them for a different effect.  I also cut up some tape to do the bandage effect and used Revlon's "Gold Coin".  Perfect spring mani!!

P.S. it may look more orange cuz of my weird lighting, but it's really very peach-y

Hunger Games nail series - District 12 theme

For this one, I actually used a polish from the China Glaze Hunger Games line.  I decided to do a District 12 theme from the book/movie, which is a coal mining town.  The main grayish base color is Hook & Line from the Hunger Games nail polish line.  For the thumb, I used Nails Inc Magnetic Polish in Trafalgar Square and used the China Glaze magnetix magnet.  For the index and ring finger,  I stamped a design that is similar to the design on the book cover.  I used the BM19 nail stamping plate.  For the thumb and pinky I added OPI's black shatter to represent the coal.  My shatter is kinda thick now so it looks really chunky but it fit the theme.

Hunger Games Effie Trinket Reaping nails

For this Hunger Games inspired mani, I decided to do Effie Trinket's nails during the reaping.  Unfortunately it's hard to get the colors exact because of lighting issues, and cuz I didn't have the exact colors but I tried to find something close.  I used China Glaze's "Traffic Jam" for the magenta base color and then using a makeup sponge I applied Revlon's "Gold Coin" using the gradient effect application for the tips of the nails.  For added glitter effect, I used China Glaze's "Fairy Dust" as a top coat.

Connect The Dots!!

Soo...... I am so excited because I finally own the infamous Connect The Dots nail polish, especially hand-made by Lynnderella!! This thing is so hard to get your hands on.  Thanks to Llarowe I finally have it! Check out Leah Ann's shop at shop.llarowe.com.  Her shop is where I previously won a bunch of nail polishes from her shop and they are all so amazing.  I swatched "Connect the Dots" on my sister's nails because she had a very pastel purple (China Glaze "Light as Air") painted on her nails and I wanted to see what it looked like on it. I LOVE THIS STUFF!! probably going to do some swatches with some other colors later on.
