Thakoon for NARS Nail Collection Swatches and Review: Koliary, Ratin Jot, Lal Mirchi

As I'd mentioned in a previous entry, Thakoon for NARS is a limited edition collection comprising of six shades designed by Thakoon Panichgul, an American fashion designer of Thai descent. These new lacquers represent bold, vivid shades inspired from Thakoon's Spring 2012 collection and culled from similar hues of the Indian spice market. Here are some of the amazing shades I was able to try.

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.
