The theme for Artsy Wednesday this week is Inspired By A Movie!
I chose The Hunger Games as the movie for this weeks theme. Effie Trinket has some amazing nails throughout the movie and this is the only mani I could get a good look at:

I started with Essie - Steel-ing The Scene as the base and then painted Ulta3 - Pearly Grape over 2/3 of the nail. I haven't swatched Pearly Grape on it's own yet. Then I created a gradient by sponging on Steel-ing The Scene and Pearly Grape where the colours met. This was really easy to do and makes me want to do more gradient mains. My boyfriend really likes this one, he gave me a high 5 haha! That's the best reaction I've got after showing him my mani so far. This is also the first Artsy Wednesday I've worn as a full mani.

The gradient works very well in this, you did well, and it's nice that your BF liked it to :)

Beautiful...I have yet to see this movie, but it seems good nails are popping up everywhere. Great execution
ReplyDeleteThanks, the movie is good. Have you read the books? :)
DeleteDef hi-5 worthy!!! These two colours go great together in this style, fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I normally wouldn't have picked these two colours to go together but they do. :)
DeleteWhat an awesome way to get inspired =) I really like these nails!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteNice job! Your nails look just like Effie's!
ReplyDeleteYay, I love this!!!! Looks exactly like Effie's mani. I wish we would have seen Katniss' nails in the movie though!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I was looking forward to seeing the flame nails. :)
DeleteThat looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGood nailspotting :) I'm going to have to try this out! And well done on the high five, the closest I've come is "That's actually pretty cool" ("I usually just pretend to care") and "Oh wow, you should start a nail blog" ("Please tell someone else")...

ReplyDeleteThanks, I wish I could claim the design as my own. Effie Trinket has style!
DeleteI haven't seen the movie yet or read the books but it looks cool! I like your mani!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Both are good, but the book is better.
Deletethis is a real clever design and identical to the one in the film by the looks of things :) xx
