Nail Stamp Art: China Glaze Capitol Colours The Hunger Games Polish in Riveting With Red Angel Image

I am just loving this polish called Riveting from the China Glaze Hunger Games Collection, otherwise known as Capitol Colours. It's the most vibrant out of the 12 polishes from that collection, but I think it's also the prettiest and most coveted. It's this fiery orange-coral with shimmer that looks spectacular on any skintone, I believe. I never used to wear oranges and corals because I thought that the shade looked dirty against my skintone, but Riveting is just one of the prettiest corals I own, and it looks great on my warm olive-toned skin.



I also used my Red Angel plate in RA-121 for this nail look with Konad Special Polish in White. I really like the end result. Very vibrant yet feminine.

China Glaze Capitol Colours: The Hunger Games Collection Swatches Part 1

"What will you be wearing to the opening ceremonies?"

The release of the collection follows the debut of the China Glaze® Capitol Colours consumer and beauty trade advertising campaign featuring the story’s Effie Trinket, who is assigned by the Capitol to escort and prepare the Tributes from District 12 for the 74th Annual Hunger Games. The ad features the above-quoted tagline, encouraging fans of The Hunger Games to support their favorite tribute and district by wearing a corresponding shade. Full-page ads will run in the March issues of teenVOGUE, People Style Watch and InStyle.

China Glaze's Capitol Colours is inspired by the most anticipated movie release of the year, The Hunger Games which opens March 23rd. I cannot wait for this movie! I am loving the book and I am bent on reading the entire trilogy. I've never been a Twilight fan so I know that I am not reading The Hunger Games just because of any hype; I really like these kinds of stories.

Anyhow, back to Capitol Colours. I think each one of the 12 shades represents the 12 districts of Panem, the imaginary country in the book that is supposed to be North America in the distant future. I will show the first six shades in this entry, then I will post the last six in a separate blog post.
