The Girl on Fire

Today is the official release date of The Hunger Games, but I was lucky enough to see it yesterday evening as my local cinema had an advanced screening. IT WAS AMAZING. I read the first book shortly after it came out and I've been a fan of the trilogy ever since, so it was great to see it on the big screen. It definitely lived up to my expectations.

Anyway, I thought you'd like to see what I wore on my nails to see The Hunger Games. I decided to go with the Girl on Fire theme, which will make sense to you if you've read the books/seen the film. I wanted to do something like this, but I ran out of time. Instead I painted my nails with two coats of Nails Inc Black Taxi, my favourite black creme, and then used a make-up sponge to dab China Glaze Ruby Pumps (red glitter) and Essie As Gold As It Gets (gold flakes) in a sort of gradient. It's supposed to look like fire but it's perhaps a little too red. I'm rather pleased with it anyway.

May the odds be ever in your favour!

  2. Love this manicure, Sophie! :) It's cool how it has a fiery element without literally having flames.

    I just finished reading The Hunger Games (for the first time) a few days before seeing the movie on the day it came out. Next week, I'm going to buy the 2nd and 3rd books - can't wait to find out what happens next.
