Hunger Games Inspired Nails

For the midnight premiere of the Hunger Games movie, I created a special nail look to honor the series. I used the concept "the girl on fire" and I also attempted to create a suitable mockingjay on one of my nails. I took inspiration from this post here-totally in envy how her's came out. :)

By the way, my nails are much shorter now. I made a tough decision to cut them down in hopes of improving my hand position playing the flute. I hope it works. Honestly I hate having them this short, but sometimes short nails can be a nice change.

To create the look. I first applied yellow nail polish to my nails, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky. Next, I sponged a red jelly polish, Essie Lollipop, intensifying the color at the base of my nails. The flames were created by making flame outlines in black with a black striper from Sinful and filling in the other areas.

For the mockingjay, I started off by applying a coat of Wet 'n' Wild Black Creme. I then freehanded the symbol using China Glaze 2030.

Personally, I loved the film. I know some people were hoping for more romance but I liked how they portrayed Katniss and Peeta's relationship. If you have seen the movie, what did you think?

On To The Next Polish,

Happy Hunger Games....May the odds be ever in your favor!
