All swatches show two coats of color. These applied nicely and evenly. I’m loving Kinetic Candy, Electric Beat, and Aquadelic. Techno can be worn over pretty much any polish so it’s very versatile. Which will you be stalking the stores for?

Come back tomorrow for Part 2!

A blackened, navy blue with silver hexagonal sequins, as well as silver and blue glitter.

Lady Sings the Blues is pigmented enough to use only one coat. If you want more sequins you can add two.

China Glaze’s “Colours from the Capitol” collection.

This collection of 12 new nail polish shades is inspired exclusively by one distinct setting in The Hunger Games – the Capitol of the nation of Panem.  Awash in lavish fashion, food, and entertainment, Capitol citizens enjoy extreme cosmetics and body modifications, bold wigs, and outlandish costumes.

Check back mid-January for more info.

I added highlights to my hair this summer, and they looked great with my tanned skin. (Shout out to Tina Figueroa at Salon TRU) However, the recent lack of swimming and being out in the sun has equaled a lack of pigmentation in my skin. I tend to go a bit darker in my hair and polish choices during fall and winter, while my skin tends to do just the opposite. I think it balances out well.

I have to admit though, choosing the cherry chocolate shade has a lot to do with seeing the newest Twilight: Breaking Dawn pt.1. While the other girls in the theater were probably envious of Bella’s love life, I was more envious of her cherry chocolate locks.

I put Feria Chocolate Cherry box color on over the crown area of my hair and covered my highlights. The cherry color is more prominent where my highlights were, which was the look I was going for. I am also currently obsessed with MAC spiced chocolate eyeshadow quad and Essie Masquerade Belle, both cherry chocolate in color.
