China Glaze Capitol Colours Preview & Bottle Pics

Here's a little collage I made with the bottle pics. :)

From top left corner, clockwise in format -> District number, official name ( district specialty)
1 Luxe and Lush (luxury); 2 Stone Cold (masonry); 3 Riveting (technology); 4 Hook and Line (fishing); 5 Electrify (power); 6 Fast Track (transportation; 7 Mahogany Magic (lumber); 8 Dress Me Up (textiles); 9 Harvest Moon (grain); 10 Foie Gras (livestock); 11 Agro (agriculture; 12 Smoke and Ashes (mining)

I'm a fan of  the Hunger Games series, so I'm pretty excited for both this collection and the movie.  The first book was my favorite, so I can't wait.  So far I have my eyes on Luxe and Lush, Riveting, Electrify, and Harvest Moon.  My only disappointment with this collection is that not all the names really match up with the color.  Take Hook and Line (fishing), you would think it would be some sort of blue?  Well the reason for this is that the original names and colors were prematurely leaked.  Those names actually make sense to those who read the book. :(  I think I'll re label my bottles when I get mine. :P  In case you're wondering, here's the leaked version.
