Kosovo Nails

February 19th was the tenth anniversary of Kosovo's independence proclamation.  In honor of that, I got my nails done in the Kosovo flag.  Thank you, Sevdije!

Snowflake Nails

Sevdije made my nails all Christmasy for December!

Nails For The Road

Got some pretty nails done for the trip to Kosovo!

Sparkly Nails

Last time for getting nails done in India.  I miss being about to go somewhere competent where they care and pay attention - and speak English.

Nails Done

I got my nails done here at the hotel, and it was about half the price of Angola.  I let the manicurist pick out the colors and the design.  She was delighted and did an excellent job!

Nails Done

Mom and I got our nails done at the Hilton Resort in Fort Lauderdale.  Evidently blue is not a normal choice for their clientele.

Nails Done

I got my nails done at the Fort Lauderdale Hilton Resort while we were there a couple of weeks ago.  Evidently, my nails were fun to do because very few people who go there are the least bit adventurous.  I had brought my own nail polish, and it lasted right around a week.  My pedicure in the same colors is lasting a lot longer, of course!

Nailed

I now have  a manicure place to go to every time I am in the DC area.  It's Ivy Nails, and it's in Clarendon.  The polish lasted a full week before chipping - and it wasn't gel.  Yay!

Blue Nails

I went to the same nail place twice while I was in training.  It's Ivy Nail and Spa in Arlington.  They did a really good job.  This is a photo taken the day I got the manicure a week ago Saturday.  Even doing my daily stuff, the (non-gel) polish stayed on just above a week before beginning to chip.  It's a really good deal, too.

Trying To Jam

I've been trying to find time to use these new nail wraps, but I've had problems scheduling a manicure first.  It's been that kind of month.  Looks like next week isn't going to work, either.  

Polish Polish

While in Krakow we bought some nail polish.  The brand is Inglot, and, although it's supposedly an American company, I've only ever seen it in Poland.  It covers well, is bright, and resists chips.  On top of that, the colors are beautiful.

Nail Arted

 Andreas really liked  the way I did my nails, so we took photos!

Bit Of Nails

I had plain metallic pink nails when I left the manicurist, so I added some glitter dots.  Andreas thought it looked really neat, so photos ensued.

Patriotic Nails

 My mancurist, Olga, did a great job making my nails patriotic for Independence Day!

World Cup Nails

 My team is now out of the World Cup, but I got my nails painted to support them before their first game.  My Russian manicurist looked at me disbelievingly when I asked her to paint them like the flag of Uruguay.  She did a really good job with the suns, though!

Coppery Nails

I brought back a bunch of new nail polishes from Poland.  Two of them are on my fingers in this photo.  I think Olga did a great job of making a design.
