A while ago, the news broke that there was going to be a nail polish line based on “The Hunger Games,” but the deal fell through, resulting in a lawsuit. If you are one of the people disappointed that there won’t be an official nail polish line, don’t fret! The team behind the new parody book “The Hunger But Mainly Death Games” heard about the news, they took it upon themselves to create their own line of polish.
“When we at hungergamesparody.com heard that Lionsgate was releasing a Hunger Games nail polish line, we were…confused?” wrote John Bailey Owen, the co-author of the parody. “Of course, we knew that the series becoming a movie franchise would lead to a merchandise onslaught like no other. But were we the only ones who had hoped it would go a bit more in the “sick-bows-and-arrows-and-squirrel-meat-Lunchables” direction? That’s why we’ve decided to release our very own Hunger But Mainly Death Games nail polish line. The Hunger But Mainly Death Games nail polish shows what happens when you actually base a cosmetics line on The Hunger Games. As you can see, it ain’t pretty…Except for President Snow’s nail polish. That’s super pretty.”
You can take a look at the joke nail polish below, which, according to Owen, “will be available March 1 from the drifter who lives inside that big drain pipe in your town.”
