What color is Mexico Bowtie's Hair? (Pink, but...)
« on: June 14, 2013, 08:59:49 PM »
Recently, I got a lot of bait type ponies and in it was a Bowtie.
I looked her over, and she turns out to be the Mexico version. However, her tail is completely missing, and her mane is shaved right down to the skin. Clearly, it's supposed to be pink, but I can't tell which pink it should be since there is so little hair left. I tried looking at photos and it seems to be pretty like the regular version's.

Is this a boring question, and her hair is identical to regular Bowtie?
Does she have someone else's pink color instead?
Is it a unique to her color because she is from Mexico & there is no actual match?

I do like Bowtie, and I would like to rehair her, especially nice to restore because she's Mexican.
I don't really have any officially nirvana-nirvanas so giving her some hair seems to be the right thing to do, but I wanted to be sure to get it exactly right so I can choose a proper dollyhair match.

I'm not sure what an exact match would be, but from memory, it is definitely a different colour from normal Bowtie - I think think darker.

What a nice find it a bait lot!

I have 2 Mexican Bowtie's with different colored hair. Mexican ponies are known for having minor variations from one to the next. So Mexican Bowtie can have light pink hair very much like Hong Kong Bowtie, or she can have a darker pink hair.

My Mexi bowtie is much like Heart-throb, I ordered several hanks of pink hair to try and find a match but nothing was right so I ended up leaving mine with her spikey mane.

Oh I didn't realise there were two - all the ones I've had (3) have been the darker ones.

I found a close match today when I picked up a lovely Mommy Apple Delight.  Here's a photo I took today of the two together.  Not a match but close-ish.

it can be pretty hard to match nirvana hair, they often have unique colours and textures.

if you are using dollyhair you can go for the nearest match ;) I would have suggested dusty rose or strawberry mousse (mummy apple delight!) as the nearest match :)
