CoverGirl Limited Edition Capitol Collection Glosstinis Part 1

We've gotten a lot of teasers and previews of this collection...

A clock! Just like the arena!

But over at Fashionista... they've got the scoop on the ENTIRE Hunger Games Capitol Collection from CoverGirl!

So... I wondered when I first saw the Flamed Out collection, if that was actually going to be the Hunger Games Collection, and from what I've seen, there's a LOT of crossover between the two. Makes sense, I guess. If it bombs, they can just pretend it was going to be limited edition all along, and if it succeeds... well, the Flamed Out collection is a way for our favorites to live on!

After seeing a couple of the featured District Looks on CoverGirl's site, I had also been wondering if they were going to branch into nail art stickers, and it turns out, I was right. Flamed Out, Tawny Flame, Crimson Blaze, Inferno, Seared Bronze, and Red Hot Rebellion are the names of the stickers, and with the exception of the last two, feature a flame design of some kind. Don't get me wrong... I get it... Catching Fire, Flamed Out... I just wish they would've gone a little further outside of the box. Is it too much to ask for Mockingjay nail art? (Maybe for the next movie?!?)

Either way... on to the actual polishes!

CoverGirl posted this on their Instagram yesterday...

CoverGirl Capitol Collection Black & White

And the polishes are listed on their site...

CoverGirl Limited Edition Capitol Collection Glosstinis

You can add the new shades to your cart, but as far as I can tell, they're not yet available for purchase. Fashionista posted a pic of the bottles, so I made it into a fun collage and tried my best to match up the shades with the appropriate names. Please keep in mind that as of right now, these are my best guesses and may not be 100% correct.

CoverGirl Black Heart, Flamed Out, Inferno, Pyro Pink, Rogue Red, Scalding Emerald, Seared Bronze, Sulfur Bronze, Violet Flicker

I'm not entirely sure which polishes I'll be picking up. I think this collection is one of those that I'm going to need to see in person before I rule out any colors. Swatches would probably help, too... Metallic finishes can be sooooo hit or miss. I'll be stalking this collection closely!

What do you think of the Capitol Collection Glosstinis?

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.

Do you know if the nail stickers are for sale yet? I have seen the display in several stores and purchased a few things, but none of them had nail stickers. I haven't seen anyone post real photos online yet either.

I've been wondering the same thing. I've seen 2 displays, and neither had the nail stickers. No one has spotted them "in the wild" yet to my knowledge...
