Girlin' it up!

I've now got Hunger Games nails to go with my Hunger Games hair! I was just going to peruse it in stores, but once Deanne started getting all excited about it, I of course, had to follow.

(Love that site name, btw) So glad I went last night because apparently even in our small, not-so-well-read-or-up-on-trends town, people had already been asking at Sally's about them and two colors were gone when I got there. But I managed to snag the two Deanne wanted (one of which that I also want, Stone Cold, which I will have to track down a bottle for myself) and Riveting and Smoke & Ashes for me. I've never actually worn black nail polish outside of Halloween, so I thought I'd have a go of it. I don't see as much of the green and blue sparkles in it as I had hoped, so it's something I would have passed on with a do-over. But the Riveting, I'm not even a fan of orange, but man, I am sold on this color. Lots of brightness and lovely sparkles. Now I just need to grow them out because my poor no-nails do not do them justice. Plus I want to try magnetic polish!

And I think I meant to post about the hair, because it turned into a 3-4 hour saga, but it's red with black on the ends so that it looks burned up. Girl on fire and all that. :) I'm not like a supernerd about the books, but enough of a fan that I'm jazzed up for the movie and stuff surrounding it.

Welcome to the black nail polish side. We have kitties! Man those are some pretty colors. *goes back to not looking, not wanting, not looking*

Haha, well if you do look I'd love to know which ones you like/hate. I shouldn't say, but the Harvest Moon is gorgeous in person too, I'm just not a copper person, either.

It is weird, cause I was certainly depressed enough in high school, but the black nails just never went with me. But for kitties, I'll do anything!

I was kinda liking the Harvest Moon just for the name. You could totally work a farm with those nails.

I'd wear the hell out of Harvest Moon for the name alone. I don't normally do copper (not after that one time...) but it looks so pretty!

I doubt I'll go hunt these down to buy, simply because I do not go back to our Sally's after the unfortunate orange hair mishap, but if I did, it would be in the hopes of: Possibly Agro, Hook & Line; definitely Fast Track, Stone Cold and probably Smoke & Ashes although I bought a cheapie nail polish that looks, based on the photo, a lot like S&A, and it's fantabulous in the bottle. But I never did buy a proper top coat for it, so maybe that's the problem. I'd seriously consider Riveting despite my aversion to orange.

Black polish is fun! Until it chips and people think you've gone and slammed your fingers with a hammer. ;)

Those are some pretty nail polishes. You'll have to take pictures when you complete your girl on fire look. :)

I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to the movies or not. On one hand I liked the books and am happy to have good books turned into movies. On the other hand, sometimes what those movies do to the plots/characters of the books really irk me. I know it's generally 50/50 on if they get it "right" in my opinion or not but I'm always cynical about the odds and presume they'll get it wrong.
