District Two: Masonry
8:15 AM |
"Our nation would be nothing without District 2's superb stonework. It builds and fortifies our cities and its citizens are known individually for their strength." |
District Two's industry is mining. It is also the location of the Capitol's military base known as "The Nut". The Nut is actually carved out of a stone mountain and it plays a key role in the unfolding of the Hunger Games and the uprising of the districts. Known tributes include: Enobaria, Brutus, and Lyme. Since so much of the basis of this district plays on their industry of rock and stone and strength I wanted to do something that would reflect that. These aren't the prettiest nails per say but I think they look very stone/metal like. It took me forever to come up with an idea for this and as I was perusing the web I came across these nails which seemed to fit the theme perfectly for me. I know that stone obviously doesn't rust but I think the rawness and the texture of it were all too fitting. I hope you all enjoy them!!
Base coat on all nails is China Glaze Stone Cold. I used a mixture of China Glaze Cross Iron 360, Riveting and OPI Pros and Bronze to sponge the top and then sponged on Essie Matte About You topcoat.

ReplyDeleteThat's cool! But when I think of District 2, I think of the Peacekeepers in their white outfits
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of these depend on whether you read the books, saw the movies, or both! It's something I'll cover in my Capitol mani!
