Design of the Day: Girl on Fire

In honor of the Hunger Games movie that is opening tonight I painted my nails to represent the character Katniss Everdeen, The Girl on Fire.  For this design I used China Glaze Riveting, and China Glaze Electrify.  Both of these colors are from the China Glaze Hunger Games Capitol Colours Collection.

I first started out with two coats of  Riviting, which is a bright orange color with a golden shimmer.  This color is perfect for a bright and cheery summer manicure.  In fact I ended up using it for my very first pedicure of the season!

Next I used Electrify to create a glitter gradient.  I used the brush that came in the bottle of polish.  I started by wiping as much of the glitter off the brush that I could then I painted the glitter on the top 3/4 of my nails, leaving the bottom 1/4 with no glitter on them.

Next I repeated the first step but with a little more glitter and only painting the top 1/2 of my nails.

Finally I put the final coat of glitter on the top 1/4 of my nails.

Finally I topped it off with two coats of Seche Vite top coat so that the glitter felt smooth.  I think this manicure looks pretty cool.  I love how the fire looks like it is rising.  Also the gold and red glitter in Electrify is beautiful.  It is so shimmery! I cannot stop staring at my nails!
