Mahogany Magic is a very rich, warm brown creme representing Panem's District 7, the Lumber District. The application was fine but a bit different from others in this collection so the trick is THIN coats and be careful not to overload your brush. Two coats for full opacity. I wasn't sure how this would do with my skin-tone, being yellow based, but I LOVE it! As usual, all photos show no top coat and no clean up.

And finally, Foie Gras...
Foie Gras is what I call one of "MY" colors! It's a taupe creme with purple undertones and reminds me a lot of some of my favorites like China Glaze Below Deck and Zoya Petra and falls smack in between those two - not quite as dark as Petra and not quite as light as Below Deck. It's lovely and application was perfect. Two coats for full opacity. I believe this one represents Panem's Livestock District, District 10.
I've had a few people ask me if it's similar to Mahogany Magic. The answer is NO. Not even close. I've left Mahogany Magic on my ring finger to show just how totally different they are.

Every time I put on a polish from this collection, I find myself saying "no, THIS one is my favorite!" I really can't decide which I like the most. Just because it's my favorite nail color, I'm probably going with Foie Gras. I'm just a sucker for that shade even though I probably have 30 similar ones by now. In my opinion, each one is different though!
I didn't (yet) pick up Dress Me Up, Fast Track, Hook and Line, Luxe and Lush or Smoke and Ashes from this collection, but I'm already second-guessing that decision on a couple of them.
What do you think of these two? Which is your favorite of the whole collection?
