The Hunger Games

My 12 year old daughter is a huge fan of The Hunger Games. She read all the books last year and loved them.  She kept telling me I needed to read them and I kept saying ok, later.  When we heard a movie was coming out, she reminded me of the rule where we have to read the book before seeing the movie...don't you love it when your words come back to haunt you?? I sat down on a Friday morning to read it and by Sunday night I had read all three books! They are fabulous! My daughter insisted I have "Hunger Game" nails (I have 5 versions...she kept wanting more, lol) and here is version one.  I used the drag method, found here to accomplish this look.  The only difference is when you are dragging the polish, drag in s shapes.  Happy Polishing!

I used:
China Glaze- Liquid Leather
NYC- Times Square Tangerine Creme
Ulta- Red Carpet Red
Spoiled- Designated Driver

Nail of the Day

I love this design. There are countless varieties for this design.  Plus, it's quick, fun and easy to do.

Polishes Used:
City Color- Masquerade (Gray)
Finger Paints- Lavender Highlight
China Glaze- Turned Up Turquoise
Orly- Basket Case
Spoiled- Black Mamba
NYC- Extra Shiny Top Coat

Start with two coats of your base color, in this case the Masquerade polish. Once that has dried completely, place one drop of polish at the top left corner of your nail. I started in the middle of the design with Turned Up Turquoise.  Then using a dotting tool, toothpick, needle or even a pen, drag the color diagonally down towards your cuticle.  Repeat with each color and your done!  I'm sorry that I only have one picture...not sure how that happened.  I will do this design again soon and give y'all more detailed pictures. Happy Polishing!!
