The Central Park Peacock Just Needed a Spa Day

On Tuesday, Central Park's resident peacock decided it deserved a break from working those long zoo hours and took a mini vacay around the Upper East Side. Much to everyone's surprise and enjoyment, the peacock hung out on 5th Ave and after having enough, returned home. What a sight that must have been - could you imagine looking out your apartment or office window and seeing a peacock? Read the full account of his adventures over on the NY Times Blog!

I created peacock-inspired nails with Color Club Gossip Column (a deep teal blue), Jesse's Girl Firefly (dense golden-green shimmer), and NYX Girls Fame (royal purple glitter). It's a pretty flashy combo, I think the peacock would approve!

  11. I love this! The combination of colors really work well together. I love how they come together instead of one color overpowering the rest. I'm sure Mr.Peacock would love a pedi in this!
