China Glaze Capitol Colors Hunger Games Riveting and Electrify

In honor of the upcoming film and the story's heroine, the girl on fire, Katniss Everdeen, I am wearing two colors from the new Hunger Games collection from China Glaze. Riveting is a fiery red-orange macroshimmer with gold flash, similar to an old China Glaze release, Orange-Pacific. Electrify is a mixture of gold glitter and chunkier red glitter in a clear base.
Have you gotten tickets for the midnight show yet?
This manicure is one coat of SpaRitual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat of CND Stickey bc, one coat of Riveting (two on the middle finger), one coat of Electrify (on all fingers except the middle), and one coat of Seche Vite.

China Glaze Glitter Skittles

All of these skittles are from the Specialty Collection of 50 glitters, shimmers, and cremes released a little more than a year ago (with the exception of 5 Golden Rings, which is from the ChG Holiday 2009 collection China Glaze Loves You Snow Much). They are all three coats over Nubar Nu Nails and topped with Nubar Diamont and a coat of Seche Vite (since glitters are bumpy more topcoat helps to smooth out the nail surface).

China Glaze Moonpool

Today's manicure is a discontinued China Glaze polish called Moonpool. I actually don't have collection information for this one; all I know is that this is a beloved green among polish collectors. This is a grass green shimmery varnish with a golden glow. It's a bit frosty, but the visible brush strokes are pretty minimal.
This mani is one coat of Nail Tek Foundation II, one coat of Creative Nail Design Stickey, two coats of polish, and one coat of Seche Vite (since this is an old formula China Glaze, and not B3F.

China Glaze Out on Safari

Today I bring you China Glaze Out on Safari. This is an old formula China Glaze from the Winter 2001 African Safari Collection. It was not the easiest to work with, but it is a very unique color. It's a soft khaki/green duochrome (really it's khaki with green sparkle).
This manicure is one coat of NailTek Foundation II (an anti-peeling treatment) with one coat of Creative Stickey (a base coat that is supposed to prevent chips). I topped this with three coats of Out on Safari (it only requires two coats to achieve opacity). The top coat is Seche Vite (which works best with older China Glaze because both are not big 3 free - in fact, as you can see from the label - it has all 3 - toluene, formaldehye, and DBP).
