Catching Fire Nails!

It's November 22! And that means that Catching Fire is out!! I'm going to see it tonight with my friends. Sooooo exciting!

Anyways, this manicure is inspired by the Hunger Games: Catching Fire! Enjoy, and may the odds be every in your favor! 

First I will show you how to do the flames, then we will create the mockingjay at the end. 

Step1: apply a base coat. Then use a yellow nail polish and paint along the cuticle. It should cover about one-third of the nail. 

Step2: now use an orange and create a layer above the yellow. (FYI I removed the polish on my ring finger because the mockingjay will go there) 

Step3: now add a layer of red to the tip of the nail. 

Step4: For this next step, you can allow the nails to dry partially, but if you start earlier, it'll blend out the colors nicer, which is what you want! The problem is that the brush might turn a little reddish...

Anyways, just put on a coat of sparkles. 

Step5: When the nails are dry, make a basic outline of the flames using a black nail polish. 

Step7: now fill in the tip of the nail with the black. Then paint the ring finger black as well.

Step8: now we will create the mockingjay. Start by using a yellow polish to make a circle. I used a toothpick. 

Step9: to draw the head of the bird, make a small half moon on the inner left side of the circle. 

Step10: next, draw the top wing by creating an elongated half moon, or just copy the shape I've created below.

Step11: draw in the rest of the bird and wings as shown below. 

Step12: now take the toothpick and create a very thin line from the outside of the circle, through the beak, to the other side, as shown below. (This is the arrow on the mockingjay)

Step13: make the tip of the arrow with a small triangle. 

Step14: You can add some glitter like I did to make the bird stand out. The last step is to wait for it to dry, and then add a top coat! 

There's the finally design! I hope you like it! And I definitely recommend both the movies and the books! Happy Hunger Games!!!
