Colour Palette - Unlocking Exotic Grape

Style Boutique 2 has an exciting feature of taking photos to unlock colours in the colour palette. These colours can be used for in various other parts of the game including hair and make-up colours. To unlock colours in the colour palette, you simply travel to different locations through the city and take photos of certain environments or items. Then visit Primrose Park and show Rainbow the photo you have taken to unlock the colour. This guide will detail how to unlock the colour Exotic Grape which some players have trouble triggering.

To unlock Exotic Grape, go to the train station and travel to Tropica Beach. You need to talk to Jewel in order to unlock the colour. She will appear on the far right hand side of the bottom 3DS screen. She does not always appear each time you visit. If Jewel has not appear, exit and travel to Tropica Beach until she appears. A good trick to use is to save and reload your game until she appears.

Select Jewel and she will talk to you about eating at the cafe and that they have a range of dishes on the menu. Once inside the cafe, Jewel will talk about how her dad found lots of fruits today



After this conversation, the game will show a short animation of your character looking at the fruit platter. This is when you need to take a photo to unlock the colour. The Exotic Grape colour is found on the grapes that are part of the fruit platter. The animation goes for a few seconds so you have some time to take a photo. In order to unlock the colour, you need to take a photo that looks like any of the three shown below.



After the animation has ended, Jewel will talk to you once more about the fruit platter. Once she has finished, exit Tropica Beach and head to Primrose Park. Talk to Rainbow and show her the photo to unlock Exotic Grape.

August Poll Results - Favourite Train Station Location

Another successful poll for this month has been completed! The question for August was 'What is your favourite train station location in Style Boutique 2?' and there was a 112 votes this month.

So the results are in and here are the results:
1st = Tropica Beach
2nd = The Meadows
3rd = Maple Crescent
4th = Bun-Bun Funland
5th = Bougainville
6th =  Restaurant

The results of this month poll surprised me! I totally thought the Meadows would be the winner but Tropica Beach took out the top spot. It's easy to see why Bougainville and Restaurant ranked second to last and last place because you can't talk to NPC's there and there isn't fun activities to take part in.

The new poll for the month of September is 'Who is your favourite character?' To vote, simply scroll down the side bar and the poll is under the game box images. If you cannot view the poll, please visit the blog using the web version. The blog is not available in mobile view on some devices. If you are on a mobile, select 'View web version' at the bottom of the page.

Excited to see who everyone's favourite character is and this one will be hard to guess a winner. There's a large number of characters to pick from! I can't even think of who my number favourite is and will have to think about that one.
