When the last Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay part II, came out, I did my nails in anticipation of going to see it. When I first discovered the book series, I remember sitting down and reading all day until I finished them. With Mockingjay in particular, I read 80% of the book by the time my mom called me for dinner. We had family visiting and I was being rather withdrawn. They were such amazing books!! The movies were even more exciting because if the hype, and this was the last time that I could go to the theater to see a Hunger Games movie, so I had to show my devotion somehow. Nail art is always a fun and inexpensive way to rep.
I started with a dark brown base coat and then sponged on red. Then I drew on some yellow squiggly lines and finished it off with golden sparkles. It's really hard to paint flames; they turned out looking more like lava than fire. Either way, they looked cool. For the coals on the accent nails, I started with my sand nail polish to give it the rough look. Then I painted over it with a silvery gray. I was worried those nails would just look sticky and I was thrilled with the metallic stone look that resulted. So there's the Catching Fire look for the Mockingjay movie.
