Happy Beautiful Thursday!
As promised, here are the swatches of the fabulous
China Glaze Hunger Games Collection, Capitol Colours.
Hello Lovelies!
I put all my swatches on nails then glue to a coffee stirrer so that I can write the name of the brand and color on the stick.
On these swatches, I put the Luxe and Lush on the tips of the nails to see what that would look like for each color. I'm so glad I did because there are a couple that have become my faves because of the addition of the flakie.
Onto the swatches:
Luxe and Lush
Inspired by: District 1 and The Capitol (Luxury)
This is not just a flakkie but a uber chunky flakie. I absolutely LOVE it! I will say that it needs a couple coats of topcoat in order to smooth it out. It does also hang over a little on the edge so I need to be careful of wrangling them in and flat.
Stone Cold
Inspired by: District 2 (Masonry)
It is the only matte in the collection which is a great surprise.
I really dig a matte but I think it looks just as awesome with a topcoat on it.
Inspired by: District 3 (Technology and Mechanics)
Very striking shimmery orange jelly.
My hubby chose for this to be the first one I wear. Of course I had to put the Luxe and Lush over it. Girl needs to have some sparkle. ;-)
**Update**
This orange stained my nails horribly! I did but a base coat on put when I removed it looked like I had just eaten cheetos! Ahhhh!!

It does the same with the creme colors in the collection. Just added a wow factor to them.
Very pretty taupe that has a slight gold shimmer

A pretty mauve/rose creme

A creme that is a grey with a hint of purple.
Its a tad darker in the shade. This pic is not showing the purple as much.
Its a rich looking color.

This is the main reason I wanted the collection.

ReplyDeleteAs an avid retro-gamer, for quite a long time I've been particularly interested in the history of video games.

The question was: Which was the first video game ever made? 코인카지노
