China Glaze Agro - Swatches and Review

The Hunger Games inspired China Glaze's latest Collection - Capitol Colors. Once Lionsgate and China Glaze got everything sorted out, they were no longer called The Hunger Games Collection and the colors have been renamed.  If you haven't read the trilogy yet, DO IT NOW. 1) They're awesome 2) They're quick reads and 3) The movie will be out soon.

I've been pretty busy lately, so I haven't been "all over" this collection, googling early swatches, etc. like I normally do. I knew I'd end up getting most of them though.

I ended up with seven of them:  Foie Gras, Stone Cold, Riveting, Harvest Moon, Electrify, Agro and Mahogany Magic.





Tonight I'm showing you the one I was most excited about. Agro was inspired by Rue's home in District 11, the Agriculture District for the nation of Panem. Well, okay it was my first pick because it's GREEN.

It's an olive green with lots of shimmery goodness to give it interest. I'd say it's *almost* a metallic, but the formula and application are anything BUT typical metallic. I only used ONE coat of this beauty and got full opacity and zero streaks. It was a dream to apply, in spite of my swatch-weary manicure here. Any mistakes and imperfections are my fault and not the polish.

Shown here with one coat and no top coat.

  4. "Agro was inspired by Katness's home in District 11, the Agriculture District. Well, okay it was my first pick because it's GREEN."

    Katniss lived in Distric 12, the coal district. It was Rue who was from district 11. Sorry but noticed that in your post.

    Agro has looked excellent in all of the swatches I've seen and I'm definitely considering wearing it to the movie but I can't decide.
