Riveting

This is the last of the Capitol Colours Collection that I bought. Sad I know, I really wanted to get Agro but just felt like it wasn't worth it. The first 2 pictures were no flash and under fluorescent lights so they are not the actual color. The third picture is the true color of Riveting it has a nice rich orange with gold shimmer. I was trying to emphasize the shimmer that's why I tried under the fluorescent lights. This was 2 thick coats, and of course I added a top coat of Seche Vite.

Electrify

Electrify is a gorgeous red and gold glitter combo. I honestly wish they would have put some of this glitter in with the Smoke and Ashes to create a burning coal effect. I was going to layer them but decided to show the glitter by itself to showcase it's beauty. It was very easy to work with and I had no problems keeping the glitter flat. This has to be my favorite in the collection just because I love the color combo.

Harvest Moon

This second swatch is Harvest Moon it has beautiful copper look to it. The second picture really shows it's beauty.The third picture was with no flash so not the best picture quality.


Smoke and Ashes

This first swatch is District 12 Smoke and Ashes. This is Katnisss Everdeen's district. Yes I read all three books within a matter of 4 days. What can I say it was very exciting books that were only under 300 pages long. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you read the books! Especially since the movie is coming out on March 23. This color is a black base with a green shimmer to it. I was a little disappointed to find the color was a little on the blah side I thought there would be some orange or red to go with it (because of her costume in the book) but unfortunately nothing. It is a beautiful green shimmer, so if that's what you are looking for you should definatelt get this!!
