Hunger Games Week! - Districts 3 & 4

Hey guys!


More Colours from the Capitol! There are quite a few pictures in this post, as the first polish is freaking amazing! Read on!!

Riveting (District 3 - Technology) is a G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. orange glassflecked polish. Two perfectly wonderful coats. You know my aversion to orange but this polish... there is no way I could stay away from this beauty. Gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous!!



I added a layer of Luxe and Lush over Riveting and holy freaking moly. My nails looked like they were on fire. I got a LOT of compliments on this manicure. Several people had me write down exactly what the colors were so they go find and buy them, lol. 






Next is Hook and Line (District 4 - Fishing). I originally passed on this color because I didn't like the frostiness I was seeing in swatches but the obsessive complusive Amanda won and had to complete the collection, lol. Hook and Line is a light gray frosty polish. Not my absolute favorite but it's not as bad as I was expecting, either. This is 3 coats, no top coat. I did two coats but because it was gorgeous outside, I was doing my nails outdoors... not the brightest bulb in the box, I know. Anyway, there were flaws from the wind so I had to do 3 coats. Not the polish's fault.







What do you guys think so far? Have you gotten any of these colors? And ARE YOU EXCITED FOR HUNGER GAMES??? LOL

May the odds be ever in your favor! 

Talk to you soon!

Hunger Games Week! Today: District 1 & 2

Hey guys! Happy Sunday and Welcome to Hunger Games week!!!

OHMYGOSH, I am so excited for Hunger Games week! I have mentioned about 1.2 billion times on Twitter that I'm pumped for this movie to come out. I am new to the Hunger Games madness but I've joined the madness full force. I've read all 3 books in 3 days, and already re-read the first book. I'm planning on reading it again before I go see the movie Friday!

Anyway, let's get to the swatches. I'm sure you've seen these before, but bear with me :-)


I'm going to go in order of Districts. Yep, I'm a nerd. Well okay, these two will be backwards.

First, Stone Cold (District 2 - Masonry)

This is a charcoal matte polish.I used two coats here. Easy application, not much cleanup needed. Actually, almost no cleanup was needed. Hurrah! 




Next, I layered Luxe and Lush (District 1 - Luxury) over Stone Cold. Luxe and Lush is a fabulous flakie with orange, blue, and green shifts in it. This is one coat of Luxe and Lush.


I like both of these polishes. I don't wear a lot of mattes usually but this is a nice one and I feel like I should have more mattes in my stash. Probably because I'm a polish hoarder :-p

Stay tuned this week for the rest of the Districts!

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Talk to you soon!
