CoverGirl Capitol Collection TEASER

covergirl catching fire capitol collection

CoverGirl posted this silhouette of the fabulous Effie on their Instagram yesterday. (And while you're in the neighborhood... follow me!) CoverGirl is the OFFICIAL cosmetics partner of Lionsgate for Catching Fire, the 2nd release in the Hunger Games Film Series, based on the 2nd book of the Hunger Games Trilogy. PHEW!

China Glaze was the official partner for the first film in the series. They released a collection of 12 polishes for Spring 2012, one to represent each district of the Capitol. The polish collection AND the film were both successes, so it makes sense for Lionsgate to partner with CoverGirl this time around. That way, they can release not just nail polish, but all kinds of makeup.

CoverGirl will be releasing 12 looks for each of the 12 Districts, According to this fan site, CoverGirl will be releasing 12 looks, (one for each district) and the first 2 looks will be revealed today! Wonder which lucky districts get to go first? Personally, I think I'd start with District 12 and work backwards!

If you've forgotten or are curious, here's the breakdown of the districts:

District 1: Luxury
District 2: Masonry
District 3: Technology
District 4: Fishing
District 5: Power
District 6: Transportation
District 7: Lumber
District 8: Textiles
District 9: Grain
District 10: Livestock
District 11: Agriculture
District 12: Mining

And because I'm a total geek... here's a fan-made map, in case you ever wondered which District you'd live in. AND if you missed out on the Capital Collection from China Glaze, you can read more about it here, here, or here. BUT... that's not all! For whatever reason, I have swatches of China Glaze Fast Track that I've never posted. It's a pretty nude beige with slightly green leaning gold shimmer. It's a gorgeous shade, and this post is suffering from a severe lack of sparkle and glitter, sooooooo...

SinfulColors Mauve On Seriotype

Whether you call it a seriotype or smooshy... (I prefer seriotype) there is just something about this style of manicure that I can't get enough of. Polishes Used: 1 Coat Fingerpaints Smooth Out Ridge Filler 3 Coats SinfulColors Mauve On Essie Leggy Legend Pahlish Autumn People Pure Ice Get in Line 1 Coat SinfulColors Clear Coat 1 Coat Seche Vite Hey there! It's been a little while, hasn't it? Sorry about that. Life happens, you know? Oddly enough, I didn't stop painting my nails during my hiatus. I kept taking pictures for a while, and then that just sort of stopped to. Weird how some habits die hard, while others don't change a bit. Anyhoo... I found pictures of this mani in my files and couldn't believe I didn't share it! This was one of my favorite polishes last spring, and I recreated this exact seriotype/ a few times. This mani started out with 3 fresh coats of Mauve On. I typically wrap my tips on the 2nd c

Fishbowl Friday 073 // Recreation

Every now and then, I enjoy looking back over past manicures. Creatively, it's just neat to see how far I've come since the days I started. Oddly enough, when I chose this prompt, I knew exactly which manicure I wanted to recreate. Based loosely on Fishbowl Friday 027 , today's seriotype nails are a RECREATION ... Polishes Used: 1 Coat Fingerpaints Smooth Over Ridge Filler 3 Coats China Glaze Violet Vibes Essie Leggy Legend Pahlish Autumn People Pure Ice Get in Line SinfulShine Konstellation 2 Coats SinfulColors Clear Coat 1 Coat Seche Vite Looking back, I can honestly say that my seriotype game has come far since I first learned the method. One of the things that took me a while to master was the balance of nail polish finishes. While seriotypes made exclusively with creme polishes look cool, those made with a combination of different finishes really pop. There's more depth involved when you layer a metallic over a jelly neon and

Fishbowl Friday 072 // Hard Candy

We're going to skip that whole part where we talk about how it's been a while, because well, it's been a really long while. I'm still trying to work out how to make room for blogging and juggle everything else, and it's definitely been a challenge. But know that I am working on it, and I do really, really miss it. This place has been my Quantum of Solace for a long time, and I'm not planning on letting it go anytime soon. That being said... for this week's prompt, I was happily surprised when I pulled HARD CANDY . This is probably one of the most iconic brands of nail polish, and it's certainly gone through it's own number of changes throughout the years. Who didn't want to own a bottle of Sky once they saw it on Alicia Silverstone's nails way back in the 90's? Last year, Hard Candy celebrated their 20th anniversary by bringing back some of their most iconic shades. The collection was a mix of five original shades and three new ones.
