Get your Hunger Game on!!!!!!!


Sorry this post is a little belated, but that's okay!..once a fan, always a fan!!..So as you may know I am a die hard Hunger Game fan!..and this crazy obsession only started about a month ago when my sister in law introduced them to me, at first i was very skeptical to reading them, because i wasn't all for kids killing kids, not my cup of tea that's for sure, but she lent me the books on my NOOK app for my iphone and I gave it a chance anyways, because if she liked it, sure enough i probably would too, but needless to say i' am a bigger hunger game fan more then i ever was  a Twilight/Harry potter fan, i never even read those books, watched the movies but that's about it. So it took me about 2 weeks to read the first Hunger game book just because iam not a huge reader and i wanted to give it a chance, but once i started i got really hooked, and then i couldn't resist reading the 2nd and 3rd and it took me like 2 days! crazy! and then the premier was like a couple days away! i couldn't wait to watch but i wanted more then anything to watch the movie with my sister in law, so i watched it like like a couple days ago!..and i loved the movie!!..i was so hooked! and iam now sooo obsessed with Peeta! he is amazing!



So for starters I LOVE this picture!..I' am a Peeta fan all the way, but i just love how Katniss has her arm wrapped around him!..it kind of gives it a "he's mine" look!..I love Katniss to be with Peeta because in the book, i love how he's not afraid to say that he likes her and how they take care of each other and how affectionate he is towards her. Gale to me comes off as a really good friend, but he also never tells Katniss how he really feels about her either, I will admit though i hated how in the movie everytime it showed Katniss and Peeta kissing it just had to flash over to Gale, like she was betraying him...I like thinking Gale is a family friend, he will always be there for Katniss and her family, but there is no romance between the two, un like Katniss and Peeta.




I bet u didn't see this one coming! jk..I own 8 of the 12 district colors!..I really loved this collection, they make so many beautiful combinations together!.. so with in less then a month time i collected as many of my favorite colors that i could get, i would still like to get the remaining 4 just to have them, it's Hunger Games come on!!.. the good thing is i atleast have my favorite colors. I would even have to say the collection is very fall based, but then again i totally understand why they would go for the more earthy-tones!..from left to right: Riveting, Foie Gras, Stone Cold, Electrify, Argo, Smoke and Ashes, Dress me up, and Luxe and Lushe!


So here is my "Girl on Fire" Nails!! i used 4 colors out of the collection to complete this look, using Smoke and Ashes, Riveting, Electrfiy, and Luxe&Lushe!


                 Here is a color combination using Foie Gras, and Luxe&Lushe on the index finger!


 Here's another picture of the look! i really love this combinations, and at first i was kind of skeptical to buy Foie Gras, because it looked like mud in the bottle, but for some reason i just had to have it, and then come to find out after i bought it and brought it home, i found out i had it's EXACT dupee!..OPI -You don't know Jaques!..they are twins, and that being said i think Foie Gras is a bit darker, and their undertones are a tad different!..but as mentioned before on the ring finger is Luxe&Lush, i absolutely love this color, it is up there as one of my favorites!..it seriously reminds me of shards of glass, and it seems to take on the color its layered over!..love it!





Okay so here is my last color combintion, where i collected 8 of the 12 colors in less then a month, i could only paint my nails so many times, because iam not a fan of panting my nails every day, so for now i just have a couple color combinations to show!..i havent even tried a couple of the colors yet, so iam way exited for that!..but this color combination is Electrify over Stone cold!.. i really L.O.V.E electrify it is probably my favorite color of the collections, i don't think any other color screams girl on fire more then this one!.. i really like it by itself, although it looks way good on top of dark colors, in my above picture my "girl on fire nails" i have it over smoke and ashes!.. i really think layered over dark colors it gives it a burning fire on coals look! LOVE it!!!


So to show my support for Hunger Games i had def the nail department covered!..i ADORE how China glaze came out with a Hunger Games collection!..it was like a little slice of heaven because i love collecting nail polish! i now have over 30 bottles of nail polish between China Glaze and Opi..i guess u could say thats my strange addiction!..but anyway back to the movie and book!




I really loved this book series, i dont read books often, but the story line was awesome!..i really do hope they come out with a second and a third movie!..for me to be this exited, its a pretty huge thing! because i dont really read books, as mentioned, plus i dont have the endless hours to sit and read especially when i have a hyper active baby to chase around and school work that i should be doing full time! but it was SOOO worth it to treat myself to these novels!..it worked out perfect that i finished just in time to watch the movie!..but i heard now that the 2nd movie isnt coming out to next fall!..i really hope i can wait that long!!!


Got to love Effie!..i think she is so spunky and so fashionable!..granted you proably wont see me trying to attempt her make up thats for sure, but u got to admire her!.check out http://www.capitalcouture.pn/ to see more Effie Trinkett fashion!
