We’ve got your first look at the China Glaze x Hunger Games nail polish bottles! Learn more about the collab here »
Is this a joke? Having just finished reading the Hunger Games I can safely say that this is exactly what the book was railing against. Luxe and Lush? Stone Cold? Agro? My God. Did anyone at China Glaze (ugh) take a moment to peruse the books? Not even the whole series, just the first one, ten pages tops. Or, and I feel this is pretty accurate, did Hunger Games HQ call them up and just say: “Nail Polish, go!” And they were like “Yes boss! KA-CHING!” (Anime money tears)
I’m only asking because surely somebody would have noticed the anti-vanity thread that snakes through the entire novel. And yes I know that our girl Catniss gets glammed up by her stylists in the Capitol, but that whole section is meant to be majorly fucked up, and offensive to the reader because it only adds to the ugly and despicable nature of the Games in which children get slaughtered for the amusement of the creeps in the capitol (etc…)
OK. I will concede that this is nowhere near as bad as the Dragon Tattoo H&M line aka “Hey fellas check out my new Rapewear!” but this ranks pretty high for sheer idiocy.
Fine, fine. It’s just nail polish, and it’s just a book, but come on.
