Default GA Ivory Blush Fans

Has anyone tried the Revolution 33 color called Peachy Keen? It's supposed to be similar to our beloved Ivory Blush.

I've used peach blush but not peachy keen - looks alot like ivory blush. I wish GA would put out more rev33 colors. They have been slacking for the last year or so. I used to get new glasstique/rev33 colors every other month. The last thing got from GA was nightshade off the cheap thrill section.

Yeah, they keep focusing on the tubing instead of nifty new shades. I was glad to see Black Ruby up on the site though and bought a pound the other day. I love that stuff.

Anyone have a picture of what the ivory blush looks like? I'm guessing this is not a normal GA color?

I've tried it. I got some of that and pink looie awhile ago. That's the color that every time I go down to visit Chrisann I take a little bit with me (OK, and some good stuff too) so I'm pretty sure she has it all now. I thought it was a nasty color. I'm lucky she still likes me.

I was pretty upset when they discontinued Ivory Blush, as that is the color
I used for my seastar pendants. I have tried pink louie, peachy keen, any color that I thought might work in it's place but nothing is like Ivory Blush, and I was told that this was a hard color to make, and they were not sucessfull at making it again, so discontinued it. The closest thing to it is coral blush. I am always willing to buy any ivory blush people want to sell, unless they want an unreasonable amount of money for it. Ivory blush was not good in implosions, but nice the way I used it, straight for the body of the starfish. You have to get it hot, really hot for it to strike to that great pink in surface work.

Well, I have the Peachy Keen, Ivory Blush, Peach Blush, and anything else they've come up with. So far, nothing is like Ivory Blush. Peachy Keen is pretty much like Peach Blush. I also wish they would come up with more Revolution 33 colors.

If anyone has any ideas how to dilute down the Peachy Blush Keen and make pink, I'd love to hear it.

More than you paid for it! I have bought Ivory blush from people who didn't like it, and just basically reimbursed them for their cost. Got some you don't want? It's not good for much other than what I use it for. Not good for implosions.

I have a stash that I use for pendants, and the color can also be very good pinwheeled on the back of marbles. I traded a pound of it a while back for a pound of red elvis, and a half pound of tag pink. I liked that deal.
