China Glaze Capitol Colours (The Hunger Games Collection)

Hey Everyone!

I have a couple of new polishes from the China Glaze Capitol Colours collection to share with you today. As of right now, I only own 7 out of the 12 colors in this collection. There are some I still want to get, and some I had high hopes for, but was let down. I have yet to see the movie or the books. I'm extremely interested in doing so, altho I'm not one for jumping on bandwagons. I'll start off by listing all of the colors for you, including the district and what it specializes in according to the book:

1. *District 1-Luxe and Lush (this district specializes in luxuries, such as jewelry)
2. *District 2-Stone Cold (specializes in masonry)
3. *District 3-Riveting (spcializes in electronics)
4. District 4-Hook and Line (specializes in Fishing)
5. District 5-Electrify (specializes in generating electricity)
6. District 6-Fast Track (specializes in transportation)
7. District 7-Mahogany Magic (specializes in lumber/paper)

Ok so I'll start from the top, describing the colors i actually have from the collection. Luxe and Lush is a beautiful flakie topcoat which is nice over almost anything. This polish does have more texture than other flakie polishes tho, so for those of you who are big fans of smooth nails, this might irk you a little, unless you use multiple layers of topcoat. Stone Cold which i forgot to photograph in the bottle lol)is a beautiful gunmetal grey, opaque in one coat, with a matte finish. I didnt know it was a matte before purchasing because it isnt mentioned on the bottle that it is, so beware non-matte fans. But if you like this color, just throw some top coat on and you're good to go. it looks awesome either way. Riveting is such a bold  and bright orange. It's not as opaque so you would need more than one coat to get good color payoff. This is probably the most bright color in the collection. Dress Me Up is a beautiful dusty pink creme color, very opaque in one coat. its a very beautiful twist on a neutral. Foie Gras was one I was dissappointed in. In the bottle it appears to be a darker dusty purple/taupe color. when applied, it looks like a cool toned brown. It's not a very flattering shade. Agro is hard to discribe. It's a bright, but dark color if that makes sense lol. its a bright lime/olive green, almost like a foil finish, with what seems like darker undertones. It's absolutely gorgeous. And finally, Smoke and Ashes. its a black base, with green and teal and blue glitter in it. The glitter is really subtle but the polish itself is very opaque.

  So over all, I think there are some pretty awesome and unique shades in this collection, but I feel like it is more of a fall collection lol. I would say its definitley worth a look!

  As always, questions, comments, concerns, requests are always welcome! hope everyone is well!
