Effie Trinket inspired nails.

As you guys can probably tell, i've been absent from blogging for a long time. I won't go into detail but I've had a few family troubles, but it's all evening out now and while I've been gone i've actually built up a big bank of nail art pictures to share with you!

The first, as you can tell by the title, are my Effie Trinket inpired nails. I'm still on a Hunger Games kick and ever since I saw the film i've been wanting to re-create the nails she wore during the reaping in District Twelve - so here we go! :D

The base colour is a bright pink that's actually so cheap it doesn't have a name.
The gradient colour is Designer De Better from the OPI Muppets collection

I've also been thinking about starting my own Youtube channel to do nail and make-up videos - would any of you watch/subscribe if I did? :)

The Hunger Games 'Girl on Fire' Katniss Everdeen inspired nails!

I recently took one of the big steps to becoming a beauty blogger by purchasing my first entire nail polish collection. The collection of choice? The new China Glaze 'Capitol Colours' collection, inspired by The Hunger Games!

I've been completely obsessed with The Hunger Games for about a year now. I read all three books in just over a week and I'm really excited for the film! (I'm going to an advanced screening with a friend which is hella exciting!)

For this look I decided to take inspiration from the book and create my own 'Girl on Fire' nails, inspired by the nail art that Katniss wears for her tribute interview before the Games. I managed to create this look with three polish's all from the 'Capitol Colours' collection - I used 'Smoke and Ashes' for the entire nail base coat, then I mapped out the shape of the flames with 'Riveting' then I added a bit of sparkle using 'Electrify'.

I love this nail art look, it's one of my favourites!
