The Hunger Games

Hunger Games Nails

Today's nail idea came from a YouTube video I saw posted by vlogger "ihaveacupcake". I love this design, it really captures the books cover art!

For this design I used:

-"Beauty Secrets" Base Coat
-"Orly" Nail Polish in Liquid Vinyl
- Acrylic Paint in Black, Ivory, Yellow and Gold
-"Beauty Secrets" Top Coat

I used a thin paint brush to paint the targets and the mockingjay logo, you can also use a dotting tool/toothpicks to do many of the lines and small details. Also, when using an acrylic paint over a dark colored nail polish it's a good idea to add white to make it more opaque (in this case I added a little ivory to the yellow to make it stand out then painted gold over this color to define  the symbol).

If you haven't already read the Hunger Games, check it out, it's a great read! I just saw the movie yesterday and loved it! Hope you all enjoy this fun nail design. E-Mail your requests to nailsbyvalentine@gmail.com.

Happy Hunger Games!

May the odds be ever in your favor...
