If you haven't read The Hunger Games trilogy yet, I'm not quite sure that we can be friends. If you haven't read it yet, it's likely because you're resisting. Fine, resist the books, but how can you resist these Katniss-inspired nails designed by butter LONDON?
If you're looking for a nail design to sport to opening weekend screenings of The Hunger Games, here's how to recreate this look:
- Start with clean, dry nails. Swipe each nail with butter LONDON’s Powder Room Acetone-Free Lacquer Remover to ensure they are completely free from product or oils of any kind.
- Apply one thin coat of butter LONDON’s Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat to each nail.
- Apply one coat of butter LONDON’s Cheeky Chops nail lacquer. If you do not get full coverage after one coat, allow them to dry and apply a second coat. Wait for nails to dry.
- Apply a “blob” of butter LONDON’s Jaffa nail lacquer to the tip of your nail. To ensure the product does not dry before the next steps, complete Steps 4 and 5 before moving onto the next nail.
- Wipe your brush thoroughly before roughly dragging it up and down across the “blob” of Jaffa until you have achieved a messy, jagged pattern on the nail tip.
- Allow nails to dry and repeat Steps 4 and 5 using butter LONDON’s Come to Bed Red, Union Jack Black and West End Wonderland nail lacquer in a slightly shallower pattern with each colour to complete your ombré look.
- Always finish using butter LONDON’s Hardwear P.D. Quick Topcoat to seal and lock your look in place. For brilliant results, one should always use butter LONDON lacquers with the corresponding butter LONDON base and topcoats.
