China Glaze - Dress Me Up

I still haven't finished testing out all of my polishes from China Glaze's Hunger Games inspired 'Colours From the Capitol' collection so I figured this weekend I would come back to them since it's been a couple weeks. This is two coats of Dress Me Up. 

I could have sworn this color was more of a dusty pink, but apparently my eyes were playing tricks on me. It looks much more like a light brown, with a very subtle hint of dusty pink. Even though it's not what I expected, I really like the color. It's professional and classy, but not really in season. This will make for a great autumn polish (as will some of the others from this collection, which I might hold on to until then!).  The application was surprisingly not-so-stellar. It dried really fast and was really globby, unlike most of the China Glaze polishes I have. Once it dries it looks fine, just a bit of a pain to apply. 

Was anyone else surprised this wasn't as pink as it appears in the bottle? Or am I just crazy?

China Glaze - Foie Gras & Luxe and Lush

With all the hype of the Hunger Games still fresh, I had to try out another of my Hunger Games polishes! This is two coats of China Glaze - Foie Gras, with one coat of Luxe and Lush on my ring fingers for an accent nail. Foie Gras is the "District 10" polish, which specializes in livestock... soooo, I suppose this is supposed to look like livestock poo? Ha! Either way, I love this creamy brown polish, as well as Luxe and Lush - the "District 1" (luxury) foil. I think I will use Luxe and Lush quite a bit, because I love foils about as much as I love shimmer and glitter (which is to say, I love them a lot!) I'm so glad they're all the rage this spring! 

My roommate and I went and saw the Hunger Games at midnight Thursday night and it was so well done, and so true to the book! If you haven't seen it yet, you must! I'd definitely read the book before you see it, in case you haven't already. And pick up this amazing line of China Glaze polishes while you're at it, too!
