The people who created the literature-inspired nail-polish art featured in this slideshow on Flavorwire clearly enjoy both A) more free time, and B) better fine-motor skills than 99% of the rest of people on the planet.

EW!
We posted the announcement for the upcoming Hunger Games nail polish line a few weeks ago, but Buzzfeed has just posted a look at the actual colors... and they include a tone called "Foie Gras". Was there a shout-out to goose liver pâté in the books that I've forgotten, or are they just upping the grossness factor for fun?

And who doesn't love free nail polish?
If you're going to be in Southern California in early June, you might want to add the various promotional events for the Go Fug Yourself ladies' upcoming YA book Spoiled to your day planner. In addition to whatever kind of undoubtedly-awesome interactions the writers have planned, there will also be free bottles of O.P.I. nail polish!Labels: Beauty, Events, other websites, Upcoming Books

The sweet scent of a horror-story victim
Behold, two limited-edition perfumes oils inspired by Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow:
Aren't they cute? I'm not sure I actually want to smell like a spicy pumpkin, but for a mere $12 apiece I'm mildly tempted to find out. You can buy these suckers via The Morbid the Merrier's Etsy shop.

Eat, Pray, Love, shop
Meg sent me this link to a limited-release line of three Eat, Pray, Love-inspired fragrances on Friday, but the maker has already sold out. The sprays are apparently still available in some stores, but if you want one, you'd better get cracking.

A prize-winning novel interpreted via nail polish
I'm not sure what's up with the sudden trend toward literature-inspired nail polish, but whatever: I like books and I like nail polish, so I'll just roll with it. I'm particularly impressed by these upcoming Rescue Beauty Lounge colors, inspired by Hilary Mantel's Man Booker Prize-winning novel Wolf Hall, a fictionalized account of the life of Thomas Cromwell. The colors are named after four of the wives of Henry the VIII: Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, and Catherine Howard. I've never cared about Katherine Parr, although I was a little bummed poor Anne of Cleves didn't get her own color (400+ years later, she's still getting stiffed on the beauty front!), but otherwise I love these colors--Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon's shades are particularly gorgeous.
