Howdy. When Rescue Beauty Lounge had their "Would you like to see your dream color come true?" contest last spring, I was of course eager to enter. My color inspiration came from none other than my French horn.
As a French horn player, my hands hold an extraordinary instrument for many, many hours each day. The horn produces a tremendous range of tone colors; heroic fanfares, aching melodies, serene nocturnes. And the bell of the instrument, the deep cavern of sound where my hand rests, is a matching rainbow of colors; brassy yellow, rose gold, oxidized green, dark rust. It is my dream to have a polish that matches this mélange of metal, so that my fingertips can shine next to the exquisite beauty of the instrument. Please, if you could create this color, a yellow gold with darker hints, copper accents and a green shimmer, it would be a life-long dream- a shade to lend the beauty of the horn to the hands so essential to it, and a complex, unique metallic unlike anything every seen.
I didn't win the contest, but thanks to Chanel I got my wish!
Peridot is an exact match to the greenish tinted yellow brass of my French horn.
That's an awesome match & lovely pics :o)
