Happy V-day everyone!
So I pretty much forgot about Valentine's Day.... I'm not very good at the whole Holiday themed mani thing unless it is Christmas. The funny thing is, I always tell myself that I will try to do at least one Holiday themed mani for whatever Holiday is coming up and I always forget until it's too late. SOOOOO, instead of a Valentines mani I decided to show you guys and updated look I did with
Fantasy Fire and Jordana Glitter in
Copper Blaze.
I'm currently balls- deep in "The Hunger Games" series. I really want to have them read before the movie comes out in March. This would be the first time I've read the book before seeing the movie and my inner geek is excited to sit there and play spot- the - difference haha. So for this look I was inspired by the flaming costumes Katniss and Peeta wear during the Tribute intro ceremony.
The girl with Nails on fire! I had been wearing
Fantasy Fire for a few days at this point and I had just the teensiest bit of tip wear but I was not ready to part with such a beauty so I went over to my table. My table currently has about 30 bottles of Glitters! Glitters I plan on doing a little series with, starting with this mani lol.. So anyways, I kept gravitating to the obvious choices of Blue, Purples glitters to mix with the base of
Fantasy Fire.... And then there it was like a shining beacon lol. Jordana's
Copper Blaze and I was all like OMFGYES! So I grabbed my sponge and did a gradient on my tips for a play on the Copper flashes in
Fantasy Fire. The final effect is amazing fiery nails with a twist. The combination of the copper glitter against the deep Navy- Violet- Copper blaze is just so unique and stunning. I got quite a few comments on this look.
So I was pretty much mortified to take this off. I wanted to take it off and put it right back on again.
Copper Blaze is such a fun and unique glitter that I cannot wait to use it more. It really screams Fall to me and I can see so many cute manis with this amazing glitter. I hope you guys like this "Hunger Games" inspired mani as much as I do!
Happy V-day and all that jazz!

ReplyDeleteGreat look! I finished reading the first book in the series and now I've started on the second and they're such good reads. Geeks rule!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I am a huge Hunger Games fan too! I finished the trilogy already and can't wait for the movie to come out! This totally captures the costumes that they wore!

ReplyDeleteseriously, SO gorgeous! If I get my hands on that Copper Blaze, I'm stealing this idea from you;] oh and HOW AMAZING IS THE HUNGER GAMES?! the first book is my favorite [though they're all great]. I'm reading the series again for the 4th time, and it still gives me heart palpitations hahaha
ReplyDeleteWow this is blowing my mind right now. SO beautiful!
ReplyDeletevery cute! I like the color combination!
ReplyDeleteOne of my daughter's had to read hunger games as part of her required summer reading. I ended up having to buy the book because the library had a waiting list so long, she would not have gotten the book before school started in september :O Anyway - i got started on the book - but had to mail it back to her before i got to finish!
ReplyDeleteLove Love LOve LOve this look. I'm a big fan of copper colors glitter to begin with!!
Great mani (I love The Hunger Games, too - when I ended Mockingjay I felt so sad, I didn't want to leave that world and characters)!
ReplyDeleteOmg i absolutely love this!! and i love the hunger games too!! :)
ReplyDeleteADORE this!! Such an amazing colour combo!
ReplyDeleteOoh, you are going to love the rest of the series! The books are great! :D
ReplyDeleteI love that Jordana glitter -- it's perfect!
Fantastic update. And it kills me that you used the phrase "balls-deep." Wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteOmg, these books are awesome & addicting! These nails are a perfect fit:-)Very cool!
ReplyDeleteJust love this mani
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI looks really expensive like a designer mani or something haha.
Gorgeous! I am reading the Hunger Games series as well :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the Hunger Games and nail polish-this is my two favorite things combined! Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Fantasy Fire is already awesome on its own, but with Copper Blaze... Wow!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Great combo idea!
ReplyDeleteI like the chunky glitters morphed on the tips and just mushed down the nail to nothing. Helps tons with tip wear too on the dark creams!
ReplyDeleteAaahhhhhh! I've never seen anything so fabulous! I want my nails to look like this all the time! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVinita, this look would be hard to recreate if you're not in England. Revlon Royal Top Speed is widely available in most drugstores. Jordana is available is in Kmart and at the Jordana website. However, Max Factor Fantasy Fire is only available in England, you'd have to swap or go to ebay for it.
ReplyDeleteSo creative i love this look!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the crackling flames in a fireplace. Great layering idea, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best gradients I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best gradients I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a gorgeous combination!!
ReplyDeleteJayme @ Her Late Night Cravings
I saw your tweet of this mani and I had to come back to your blog to read what it was. It's a gorgeous combination! I have Hard Candy Beetle and I think I may try that over Royal and with Jordana Copper Blaze to see what it looks like. Probably not as pretty as this...but it can't hurt to try?
