Peacock blue

Hello ladies,

This afternoon, I ventured out into the snow covered city. The accumulation of two storms this week left Philadelphia 40 inches deep in snow. To entertain my apartment bound self during the blizzard, I created peacock nails.

There was some amusement when I walked to the park for picture taking. A man carrying a large bag of rock salt came face to face with me while I was walking holding a single peacock feather. In storm conditions, we all have our necessary supplies. Ah, whimsy!

Color Club Gossip Column, the star of the Rebel Debutante Collection, forms the base for the feather design. This is the perfect peacock blue. I could easily rate Gossip Column in my top ten creme formula polishes. I drew the feathers with Migi nail art pens. For visual interest, I alternated how the feathers were positioned on every other nail.

As with the rest of the Rebel Debutante colors, I wore three coats of Gossip Column. Shorter nails would achieve perfect opacity in two coats. I loved the look of this color without any embellishment. I will definitely be bringing this shade back for a more subtle design.

Gossip Column was sent to me for review. This shade along with the other Rebel Debutante polishes are available for purchase at victorianailsupply.com. For a chance to win all nine shades in the Rebel Debutante Collection, please visit the contest post.

The majority of the Migi nail art pens I chose for the peacock feathers are from the gold pen kit: glitter navy, green and orange. I also used a green from the neon kit. These nail art pens were sent to me for review. You can read more detailed descriptions about use of the pens by clicking on the Migi label. These pens can be purchased at miginailart.com.

For another peacock theme manicure, please visit Glammed Up. Lisa lives in the same region I do and both of us independently decided to do peacock nails while snowed in. Talk about birds of a feather!

Happy painting, ladies.
