Title: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: toralei on February 12, 2012, 11:33:44 AM: Which finish do you prefer on ponies?

Personally, I'm a matte gal.

Post by: bladed on February 12, 2012, 11:34:21 AM: Matte, but pearl is nice too.

Post by: 01mlplover on February 12, 2012, 11:36:13 AM: I think it just depends on the pony. I dont really have a preference but i know there are some ponies that just wouldnt look right with the pearl finish.

Post by: Elisto on February 12, 2012, 11:43:40 AM: Matte. I have a few pearlized baby sea ponies, and they're OK, I like them, but I like the matte finish better.

Post by: cesprins on February 12, 2012, 12:09:53 PM: I prefer matte, but it's nice to have some variation within a herd! So pearl is still awesome to me. :)

Post by: DoctorMowinckel on February 12, 2012, 01:01:35 PM: Matte, easier to photograph. Not as many light reflections to worry about.

Post by: Lon-san on February 12, 2012, 01:25:43 PM: Matte. I don't like how the vintage ones went right over the eyes. I think the G4s should do it, eyes MASKED, once though. It would be a way to shake things up and it's not like they haven't pearlized the prototypes.

Any pony that isn't pearly or glittery is considered matte finish. Star Swirl is matte.

Post by: VanillaBean on February 12, 2012, 03:28:59 PM: Definitely matte for me. :)
I think purple pearl G3s are a definite no-go, they look un-attractive in certain lighting. :<

Post by: SheRa-dude on February 12, 2012, 04:06:47 PM: Matte definitely.

Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: mlp4me on February 13, 2012, 10:21:56 AM: Pearlized!
Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: hathorcat on February 13, 2012, 12:17:24 PM: Depends on the pony! I would love "pearlised" Mountain Boys but I cant picture Big Brothers as being cute with a pearly coating!

I do love the look of the new G4 babies with the pearly coating...very cute!
Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: Brightglowpony on February 13, 2012, 12:57:05 PM: matte, but I do like the occasional pearlized pony. I had pearly Baby Glory as a kid as she was always mystical and special to me :lovey:

Post by: DazzleKitty on February 13, 2012, 07:12:59 PM: I love pearly the most! I love how the G3s have a lot of ponies like this.
Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: Mermaid on February 13, 2012, 10:53:19 PM: I like both! I like Matte slightly more though. But Pearly is nice every now and then!
Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: creedence on February 13, 2012, 11:00:31 PM: Matte
Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: oddish on February 14, 2012, 04:25:22 AM: Matte. Though pearl is very pretty too.
Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: Uninu on February 14, 2012, 04:45:29 AM: Matte :) I like pearl, too, but I highly prefer matte.
Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: naylastar on February 14, 2012, 08:27:12 AM: I adore pearly ponies, the shimmer is to die for:)
Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: Dragonflitter on February 14, 2012, 10:04:50 AM: for G1's: matte

for G3's: pearl

I think something like 75% of non-white G3's are pearl, or something like that. They just look so weird to me matte! I mean I do love Pepperberry but when you put matte Skywishes and pearly Skywishes side-by-side it's just sooo weird looking at the matte one... o.o
Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: SaraMari on February 14, 2012, 10:39:12 AM: I think both are nice! I don't have any pearly ponies as of now so I'd really like to get one! I remember when I was a kid I had an advert for the pearly baby ponies and I was always pining over pearly baby Firefly XD
Title: Re: Pearl or Matte?
Post by: BabyRainbou on February 14, 2012, 10:59:08 AM: Hmmm..

I suppose it's ll about the ponies. If the majority of the line is pearly (G3), then I'd prefer pearly. But mostly I like Matte.
