China Glaze Hunger Games swatches.

morning everyone! I have a few of the China Glaze Hunger Games swatches for you today.
I have never read the books or watches the movie....i'm not really interested with it. But i  AM interested with the polishes! well....some of them. I have seen most of them now and some of the polishes are great but some of them are a bit meh..
Here are the ones i liked and brought.
first up is stone cold.
I was pleasantly surprised with this polish. it is opaque with one coat and it is matte!
what i did not like was i could not put a top coat on without it getting the shiny finish and with only 1 coat it chipped within a few hours. You will have to excuse my short nails. i chipped 2 and thought what the heck i trim them all!
*note all polishes have a sally hansen base coat on.

Here is stone cold with a essence gel ous top coat. i love this polish matte and shiny!

Next is electrify, it took only 2 coats to get a good cover with this polish and boy oh boy did it look bright! the camera does not do it justice i put a coat of SV on top.

I thought i would pop a coat of chi chi matte top coat on to see what it looked like. apart from the fact even with a thick coat the matte polish cracked it did not look too bad. i soooo need to get a better matte top coat. i really do not like the chi chi one.

Next up is lux and lush. by itself it was a bit... meh. and even with two coats of SV it still felt rough. but i did put it on some other polishes the other day and it was more of ...MAAAAAAHH!! than ...meh.

Ok the last of my CG hunger games polishes was smoke and ashes. I was not 100% sure to buy this polish as i did not really neeeeeed another dark blackish polish but i am glad i brought it. You cannot really see well on the photo but this polish has a great blueish and purpleish micro glitter in it. i just love this polish.
believe it or not i have NO top coat on this polish.

Right. This next polish i made my self. i really wanted to get riveting. it looks fantastic a bright orangey red with gold flecks through it but when i brought these polishes it was sold out :( so i tried to make a similar one myself. i used a sally hansen xtreme in crushed and then orly sugar together. it is similar but it does not have the zazz that riveting has. i will have to keep an eye out for it.

So with all these polishes i thought i would have a go at making a polish ring. i used smoke and ashes and lux and lush. i managed to get some great sterling silver ring base and cabochon on ebay and had a go.
it did not turn out too bad!

 Well what do you think?

very exciting mini haul!

Right! i have literally just got in the door from shopping in penrith today and i am so excited to share with you all!
check out what i grabbed today!

I was SO excited to see a essence display in Target!~i have been looking for blue addicted polish for ages as it is a dupe for a certain deb lip polish! and there is was staring me in the face. i almost wet myself!!!
Plus to make it even more gravy....they were all $2.55 and the clear top coat was $3.45
the colours i got were clear top coat xxxl shiny gel look,frozen queen,where is the party...which i might add reminds me so much of models own beetlejuice. make it golden,blue addicted and hard to resist.
i would have brought more but most of the colours were sold out. i was assured though that they will be getting more in !!!! Watch out target i want every colour in this range!!!

Next i stopped into blooms chemist. i was going in for some panadol for my 10 year old but they had a clearance bin and in it were mini orlys for $2.00 and full size for $5.95 they also had nail corrector pens,bonder dry drops along with a bunch of other orly stuff. this is in all blooms i was told. they have a bunch to get rid off. so the one on the left is cosmic kiss.
then off to priceline and picked up a sally hansen for $3.95 all the SH products are $3 off till the 23rd.
lastly and this was the BEST bargain of the day...... Big W they have $5.00 off all max factor so the minis came to a total 48cents each!! i kid you not! 48cents each!!!! if they had every colour left i would have brought them but they only had this colour and i use this on my tootsies so i got 2.

great haul huh!
i am promising myself i am not buying any more polishes next month. my mother in law is coming over from the UK in 2 weeks and she has got me 4 bottles of Max factor fantasy fire one which i plan to use in a bit of a giveaway soon, the new barry M croc effects and models own beetle juice trio.
