So... It has been a few months since I have posted anything but I assure you that my collection continues to grow. I just don't think I have it in me to mass swatch regularly with my schedule. I do paint my nails about twice a week and I've been trying to keep up by taking pictures as I go. My new goal is to post something new at least once a week. I think I can do it! Since my last post was about China Glaze's Hunger Games Collection, I found it only fitting to pick up where we left off. Since I last posted I have bought 4 more polishes.
Left to right: Smoke and Ashes, Dress Me Up, Fast Track, Luxe and Lush
First up.... Dress Me Up! The formula on this one was ah-mazing! So creamy and wonderful. I used two coats but you could easily get away with one thicker coat.The color itself is pretty great too. It is like a mauve-y blush. This is the perfect subdued nail for when you want a neutral that isn't beige and boring. The finish was super shiny so I didn't bother with a topcoat for the pics.

Next up is Fast Track. Now, I know I just said that beige is boring but this one is definitely NOT boring. This one had a pretty fabulous formula too, but at least two coats is necessary to reach opacity. Fast Track is a really pretty yellow leaning beige with a beautiful gold glitter/shimmer. As much as I love this polish, I'm not sure this yellow fellow loves me back.

Next, Smoke and Ashes. I don't even know where to start with this beauty. This color is. SO. PRETTY! It is a deep forest, blackish green with stunning green glitter throughout. It just gets prettier and prettier the more you stare at it. The formula was pretty thick, but very easy to work with. The clean up kind of sucked though (as you can tell from my pics)

Last but not least Luxe and Lush! I love, love, love this shard glitter revolution that is going on right now. This one goes on very easily and gives every polish a different look. I personally like it over dark colors better. Here it is over the three polishes above.

Overall, I think China Glaze did an unbelievable job with this collection. All of the polishes that I own have perfect formulas and I think the colors fit together very nicely. There is pretty much a color for everyone. My favorite out of these four is probably Dress Me Up. I think the color is adorable and that formula!!! Which is your favorite from the Hunger Games Collection?
