Going out in style


I've been waiting to get my nails redone so I could go home with freshly-done kimono nails. I got this specific idea from a Japanese Nail Max magazine. The originals had a dark pink, almost cherry red background but I wanted more of a spring pattern.

I go to Nail Cinderelle at the Mihama shopping center right across from A&W on the inside. They always do a great job but just like everything else in Japan, be prepared to pay a hefty price for beauty. A full set of acrylics cost 6500 yen (fills are about 3500 yen) and the design cost 3450 yen so today I paid 9950 or almost $100. Lesser designs like basic French manicures are about 2000 yen.

This is the first time I've had a real design on my nails. I like to wear acrylics because my nails are too thin to grow out but I have to rest them after a couple of months.

I know one thing - when I get them filled I'm sooo getting them shorter so I can type again :P

It is beautiful. The other name for Japan is perfection according to me. I mean look at your nails they are so perfectly done without any mistakes.
