If you haven’t yet heard by now, you have been living under the largest rock on the planet. China Glaze Colours From The Capitol is their latest 12-piece collection for spring, and of course, is a tribute to the upcoming movie The Hunger Games, which is based on a series of best-selling books from Suzanne Collins. The movie comes out in March ( I will be there with bells on!)

Let me say, if you have not read the three books in the series (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay) RUN to the store and get them! I read them about a year ago and aside from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series, these are some of the best books I have read in years and years. Yes they are technically “young adult” but are not written in a juvenile or off-putting way for an adult. They are nothing at all like the Twilight series (which I get asked a lot). The story grabs you, sucks you in and is totally amazing. I died a little when I finished them, they were that good.

This collection of polishes includes twelve new colors with a variety of finishes. I did have a few issues with the formula of some of them, more on that below.

There seemed to be about 15 or more of these and the display I saw was picked pretty clean. I know there was a green one in there but none left for me, so I grabbed the ones that seemed interesting.

Ozotic 507 is a polish that every multi-chrome lover *must* have!

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking do I really need this though? You’re thinking that you already have every multi-chrome you will ever want or need. You are thinking, well I already have Chanel Peridot and this is basically a dupe, right? Wrong!

Ozotic 507 comes in the new more rectangular bottle, which I actually really like the shape of. It looks neat and orderly.

The color changes from a heavy warm old gold to greenish-khaki to a bright green to a greenish-blue. The finish is a shimmery metallic and brush strokes are very minimal. I got excellent coverage with just two coats. Beautiful!
