Hunger Games,Catching Fire Nails

My lovely friend is heading to the opening night of Catching Fire from the Hunger Games movie trilogy. She came over for Seahawks nails but mentioned she was heading to opening night of the movie. I leaped at the chance to do these nails.

My base is Sally Hansen Midnight in N.Y..

I then used the plastic wrap technique and layered my acrylic paint. 

I blobbed on red paint then the dabbed the plastic wrap on top. I went over the the red with Orange and continued the same process.

Added Seche Vite top coat.

Then I hand painted on the mocking jay pin with white,gold,yellow and black acrylic paint.

Having read all the books and seen the first movie,I am very excited to see the next installment of the Hunger Games.

I hope you like these. Its been awhile since I have done nail art. It was so enjoyable to get really into these.

Blue And Green Friday! Rain City Nail Lacquer in Seattle Team Spirit!

I am super stoked to share this swatch with you all!!!

Our city is so very proud of the job our Seattle Seahawks are doing this season. Not only on the field but off as well. They are very involved in our community. And as a result, they have gained so many fans. I'm to say I am a 12th man!

Rain City Nail Lacquer has made us Seahawks/nail art fans a really wonderful polish.

Its called Seattle Team Spirit.

For this swatch I sponged on some neon green from my NFL Seahawks duo and my Morgan Taylor in All White Now.

Then topped it off with Rain City in Seattle Team Spirit.

Love,love,love this glitter!

large neon green hex, medium holo hex and small blue hex. Along with some white rectangles and diamond holo.

What do you think guys!?

The Perfect Halloween Nail Polish?

Have you already been thinking about what will be on your nails for Halloween?

I hadn't thought about it yet until Candied Lustre posted about making this limited addition Halloween polish. Its called Spellbound. 

She did something very unique with these. Each one sent out glow a different color in the dark. And the stars glow in the black light. I couldn't wait to try mine out to see what color I got!

I received the one that glows blue. 

I must say that when I first saw her post of these on Instagram I didn't even know that they glow in the dark. Just the color and stars alone I thought were really wonderful. It wasn't until I called my mom to tell her that this was a must get, that I found out. And only because my mom read the description. I was so excited about the color!

So anyway, I received this last week and wore it for 5 days before it started to peel.

I do wish it was more bright in the dark but it wont deter me from telling you that if she ever restocks this polish,you really should purchase it! For real!

I do have on one coat of this polish from Colour Gossip. The name escapes me now. But,I will look for the polish later and post the name.

I wanted it to be more purple.

And then one coat of Spellbound on top. 

Very easy to apply and I didn't have to go fishing for the stars.

Here it is in the dark. I did place my nails under a l.e.d. light before taking the picture.
