BFF Challenge: Book Cover

Book nail art! Today's theme was inspired by a book. And obviously I chose the Hunger Games! I think these turned out really well, and I am really happy with the result.

The base is Wet N Wild Black Creme.  The gold for the mocking jay is Orly Glitz, with accent of Kleancolor Metallic Mango.  Silver is China Glaze Jitterbug. I did all of this nail art with a set of nail art brushes.  And as always I finished off with a coat of HK Girl Topcoat.

And a photo of the book cover for reference. :)

I really love this mani!

Orly: Grave Mistake

For these nails I started out with a base of 2 coats of Orly Grave Mistake.  Then I used the shiny mirror reflective dots placed on the nail.

To achieve the mirror dots, I had a metallic gift bag that someone had given me for a birthday, and I purchased a hole punch from Hobby Lobby(in the paper art section with the other hole punches). I used the hole punch to make the dots using the smallest hole available on the punch and this is what I got! I am happy to say that the dots did not crinkle or anything when I put the topcoat on. 

To smooth it out I used 1 coat of Gelous and 2 coats of HongKong Girl Topcoat.

Don't forget about my giveaway! Enter Here!

 What do you think about the silver dots?

Orly Foul Play

Soooooo over the weekend I went with my roommates to see Rocky Horror Picture Show in Charleston, and guess what I came across at Ulta... one lonely bottle of foul play.  Of course I bought it! It was so lonely there sitting at the bottom back of the rack. :(  He sure is happy on my nails now though. :)

Foul Play is an amazing polish with a dark purple jelly base, small silver glitter, slightly larger blue glitter and flakies that are orange with a green duochrome shine.  let me just say amazing!!
In these pictures I used 3 coats of Foul Play, with one coat of Seche Vite.

This is pic heavy.  I also found that my bathroom lighting was actually able to show the duochrome!

Enjoy!

Here you can see the purple jelly base.

LOOK AT THAT AMAZING DUOCHROMENESSSSSS!!

I hope I did it justice. :)

Hopefully I will be able to post a new mani tomorrow!
