Hello ladies,
Today I bring you the famed Nubar Pasadena Purple accented with a white peacock. I found Pasadena Purple matches the ring of color outside the eye of a peacock feather. I have seen a white peacock wandering about a sculpture garden. They are incomparably beautiful.
I once had an amusing encounter with one of the resident peacocks at the sculpture grounds. As I roamed by on the lawn, he stood up from resting and raised his tail feathers. I was wearing a long and full circle skirt in blue and purple. I lifted the hems and fanned it out at the sides. The peacock and I stood facing, with opposite semi-circles of color. My skirt was forming a bell shape and his feathers were a perfect arch. We stared at each other for a long time. He seemed to admire my display.
I am rather besotted with the peacock image from Bundle Monster plate BM15. I used white Konad special polish for the stamping. Three nail pens from the Bejeweled Collection were chosen to color the feathers: Royal Amethyst, Emeralds and Sapphires. I then positioned three coordinating rhinestones per nail and placed them in varying formations within the tail feathers.
I painted three coats of Pasadena Purple for full opacity. Those with shorter nails will likely be happy with two coats. The application was great. The pearl finish is a little less noticeable with Pasadena Purple because of the the deep amethyst jewel tone. It could be mistaken for a shimmer in different lights.
What do you ladies think? Will you be adding this much talked about purple to your collection?
