I'm always saving the best for last. After showing you
Zebra and
Lady Bug, the new additions to The
Nail Junkie's Animal Collection, today I would like to show you the last of them: Peacock.* Warning - A LOT of photos ahead!
Peacock is nothing less then amazing. It is made of tiny blue hexes and green and gold microglitter in a teal jelly base. It has the most beautiful shine, applies real easy and covers the nail completely in two easy coats. I feel, sadly, that I don't have enough words in the English language to express how beautiful this polish it. None of my photos do a true justice to it.

Just look at those sparks. Isn't it gorgeous? If you don't apply top coat, the look is nice and sparkly and the feel is not sandy, but it does have a light textured feel. Since I knew I wanted to free-hand draw on it, I decided to smooth it completely with one coat of Gelous and one coat of Seche Vite.
I then drew the peacock feathers using some acrylic paint in gold, green and blue. It may not be as clever as
Raggio di Luna's drawing, but I did try and I hope you will like.
Peacock is definitely my most favorite polish of the entire collection! But do make sure you check all the others too. They are all gorgeous! And while you're at it - if you haven't yet, take a look at
Adventure In Acetone's review of Peacock and her AMAZING nail art!

This is fantastic!! I'm a huge lover of peacock feathers, peacock colors. You did an amazing job and the glitter really shows the spectrum of peacock feathers :) I have really enjoyed seeing your animal theme nail art but this is my fave!
Peacock is GORGEOUS! She just nailed the thing, it's fantastic. Immediately reminded me of a peacock! ^^ And as for your nail art, I habe nothing bad to say, I actually prefer your peacock feathers because they're bigger! And the colors are perfect for it :)
This is gorgeous, the polish without top coat it's absolutely amazing. Love everything of this mani. :))
I like this one the most too!! I prefer the look without topcoat, it's so sparkly!!! I see you're costing me more money already =)))))
Beautiful nail polish! :-) And, I like the fact that one feather goes over three nails! :-)
