Hunger Games: Agro

Hunger Games the Movie came out last week.  I have seen a lot of cool mani's inspired by the

movie.  Mine isn't inspired by the movie.  I haven't read the books nor have I seen the movie.  I 

would like to, but we shall see.  That being said, I did get some of the China Glaze polishes :)

I already posted about Stone Cold, you can take a peek if you like.  Back to Agro.  This is an awesome 

color, and opaque in just one coat.  Which means, this could be a great stamping polish, more on that later.

Here is the basic mani

Base Coat:  Seche Rebuild

Color:  China Glaze Agro (1 coat)

Top Coat:  Seche Vite

I just couldn't leave well enough alone!  I decided to add some glitter :)  I used Wet N Wild 

The Gold and the Beautiful.  This polish is jam packed with gold specks.  I used a sponge to do a 

gradient look.  Well, I tried hahahahaha, I forgot how dense this one is and so the gradient isn't perfect. 

But I still like it.  You?

Happy Friday!!

Hunger Games: Stone Cold

Seems everyone is familiar with the Hunger Games books and the movie coming out.  I however had never heard of it.  I probably wouldn't have heard of the China Glaze Hunger Games Line if it weren't for PAA
I was excited to get Stone Cold, a gray matte with a little sparkle.  I don't have any matte's so this was a biggie for me.  I was able to order a couple on sale with free shipping, YAY!!!
So here is my take on this polish.  I don't love it, and that makes me sad.  I do think that with a little more practice, I will grow to love it.
I put on my first coat and was a little surprised how uneven it went on.  I used a thicker 2nd coat and that helped a lot.  You have to be real careful when cleaning up your cuticles, if you get polish remover on your nail, it will take off a bit of the top layer and you will be left with a silver spot in your polish.  You will notice that I have a few of those.
It's totally weird not to use a top coat, if you do, you will make this a shiny finish.  Wondering if I needed to use a matte top coat.
Thoughts?  Suggestions?  All are appreciated, Thank You!!!
