Capitol Autumn

It's getting closer to Christmas time, so I need to get all of my fall colors in to satisfy my deep love of autumn (that seems to be hiding from me this year).  I am really in love with the colors I got from the China Glaze Capitol Colors collection from this spring for the release of The Hunger Games.  I figured that this is a perfect time to pull some out!

Look at all that shimmery goodness!  I used 2 coats of Fast Track, an amazing nude/beige with tons of golden shimmer.  It actually covers quite well.  I knew I was going to add to the tips, so I didn't opt for a third coat (plus, they're short now because I broke some nails today between ripping into a package from Llarowe, refusing to make more than one trip into the apartment with my groceries, and lugging 7 loads of laundry to the laundry room...).  I never get tired of this beauty!

I tried the polka dot nails again that I used for my tutorial and final Go Pink manis.  I went a lot faster this time, trying to beat the fan that I just couldn't turn off (really--it's 77 in my apartment right now.  Where is fall?!).  They're not as artistic and neat as I would have liked, but the amazing colors TOTALLY make up for it!  Riveting is an amazing orange with a fiery shimmer.  This builds easily, too, if you were curious, but I just dotted it on in single coats.

Lastly, I added on Harvest Moon.  This copper is so warm and beautiful!  Again, it is packed with shimmer.  I love that these colors are gorgeous, and really do represent the Districts they were named for, and they're cohesive.  I didn't get all of the colors in this collection, but China Glaze did an amazing job making a true collection that worked together.  All of the ones I did get really belong together.

The dots almost remind me of falling leaves.  You know, when you don't live around palm trees.  Don't you just love those colors together?  Have you found some really good combos for them?  Let me know because I really don't get tired of using them!
