The Crackling Girl On Fire!

All this week, running up to Friday when the much awaited Hunger Games movie is released, I will be posting a HG inspired mani and my China Glaze Capitol Colors which I got in the mail last week!

I actually did this mani a couple of weeks ago, my nails are much longer now! I was toying with the idea of doing a water marble with red, orange and yellow but I really suck and those and, well... I'm really lazy!!! So I went for the much quicker and easier option!

Cinna would totally approve of Katniss wearing crackle right? Especially matte c'mon!!! Lol!

    That mani looks crazyyy! Your suckyness at marble nails and your lazyness for fixing it turned out to become a very gorgeous mani! If you didn't tell us that, I'd never guess, looks so professional :D

      Haha! Thanks Bia! Crackle always makes things look a little crazy but I'm surprised this one turned out quite cool :)

    I think Crackle is the worst, but I really like this. Reminds me of a little burning piece of back covered in ashes!

      Crackle was one of those trends that at the beginning was just *meh* but after a while I really started hating it! But in a style like this, it looks quite messy and cool!

    Like everyone else has said, I'm not a huge crackle fan but this is really striking, well done!

    OMG I am totally going to wear this when I to the premier on Thursday! :D This is so perfect! I have been wracking my brain for ideas for the Katniss manicure and this is perfect! How did you achieve this?

      Yay! You should!! This is very simple: I just randomly put blobs and lines of red, orange and yellow all over my nails (you don't have to be neat or anything), put crackle on top and them mattified it because I didn't like the way it looked shiny :)

      Haha! I can only take crackle in very small doses! Lol! But for some reason, with all these vibrant colours, it works!

    I've just finished reading the books and I'm so excited for the film! I love this, it reminds me of the description of a dress she wears in the second book and I think it's a jumpsuit she wears in the 3rd, very Katniss appropriate x
