Hunger Games Nail Art Series - District 12

Hello, my lovelies!
The request for today was a district manicure or a design inspired by Rue or a mutt.
Well, I really have no idea what I could paint, to represent Rue and I'm still thinking about how to do the mutts. :P Any ideas out there? I'd appreciate it!
So for the first district inspired mani, I chose to represent District 12 :)
Since Cinna, Katniss' stylist, came up with the idea to present her as "the girl on fire" I wanted to do a fire design. But after yesterday's mani I didn't had the patience to do something to difficult and this one is also easier to do for someone, who wants to wear a manicure for the Hunger games, right? :) 
It kinda looks like fire ...or at least like coals on fire :D I used: Essence - Grand-Plié in Black (Ballerina LE), Flormar Crackle G05, P2 Pearl Crackle - Red Volcano and a big fat coat of TC :D
Now let me tell you a secret about layering crackles: Do a coat of TC in between the 2 crackles, so that they can crackle differently, otherwise they will crackle the same way and the first color won't show ... or it all looks like a huge mess. Know what I mean? :D

Aaand only 3 days left ! Omg I can't wait anymore!!! :D
See ya tomorrow! ;)

      I don't know yet! Maybe some actual flames, like the manicure Katniss is wearing in the arena? :D And thanks ;)

    I've been watching the trailers over and over again too! Lovely representation of district 12! When I suggested Rue, I was thinking something with flowers because of what Katniss does (Lol I know that sounds vague but I didn't want to spoil anything for those that haven't read the books).

    It really does look like coal on fire! You did really great. I've seen other making this Katniss design, but nothing like yours.
