Fiery Frosting

I got to go see Hunger Games today!!!! Finally! I'm a big geeker so I knew I had to do something extra special with my nails...

 Thumbs up for Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire!!!  Hee hee!!!! 

Did I ever have fun with this mani!

I used a sponging technique for this.  

 First I painted the cuticle side of my nail in Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry 

Lightening yellow.

Then I got out the makeup sponges and tore a small bit off.  Instead of tweezers I wound up using my cuticle clippers.  Before the yellow could dry I put a 2 drop puddle of SH Complete Salon Manicure Kook-A-Mango orange on paper (my work surface) and dabbed the sponge, held by the clippers, in it. 

You can see how I dabbed the excess off the sponge and onto the paper so I could control how much I was applying.  After the orange was as I liked it I maaay have put some SV on.   Next was making a drop or two puddle of Revlon's Top Speed Cherry.  Sponge, sponge, sponge and SV!  After that I went back and sponged some more orange on every nail, because it got lost between the yellow and red. You couldn't see it very easily.   It was a big improvement to sponge more on.  

 The above pic was taken at the wrong light setting so you can't see the different colors as well as in the later pix when the mani is done.

So now enters the little colored dots that most people use to price their stuff at their rummage sale.  

I drew flames, and cut them out using an Xacto knife. 

Then pressed the sticker onto my nail and painted over it with SH Xtreme Wear 

Black Out.  I peeled the sticker off immediately so the polish 

didn't get a chance to dry.  Then SV.  Repeat 9 more times!

Ta Da!  One geek ready to go to the movies!

As I was taking these pix, the hubs opened the door, leaned out and said "You are such a dork". 
Yeah and your point is...?
