Nail Art (1) / 指甲上的艺术(1)

I traveled to China from 15/06/09 to 29/06/09. I found it had changed tremendously. Not only the townscape, but also the new opportunities to have lots of fun.
My friend brought me to Langxiang Street, which is a large underground shopping area. Here you can find almost everything: restaurants, clothes and shoe shops, etc. I found one manicure shop which was especially interesting. After some negotiation, the girl agreed to do it for me at RMB 100 (S$21.74) for both hands and feet.
For the toe nails, she applied a dark brown nail polish and a shiny green polish on the tips. For the big toes, it was 3-D design with an artificial diamond on top.
As for the finger nails, the color changed gradually. On top, it's pink, in the middle it's in between light pink and orange and below it was transparent highlights. On each ring finger there was a the 3-D design with 4 flower petals and an artificial diamond on top. The rest were just paint with flower petals. It made me feel rather good after finishing that.

我于6月15日至29日去中国旅行,中国近来变化很大,不仅城市面貌焕然一新,而且吃喝玩乐一应俱全。

朋友带我去朗香街走走,这是一片地下商场,在这里,你几乎可以买到任何东西,象饭馆儿啦,卖衣服鞋子的店啦等等。不过最吸引我的是一家美甲店。一番讨价还价后,小姐同意以人民币100元(新币21.74元)的价格为我做手和脚。

脚上用的是巧克力色打底,上面刷一点点带荧光的绿色,大脚趾上各雕了一朵花,四瓣花瓣,上面各镶一颗水钻。

至于手,颜色是渐进式的,最上面是粉红色,中间是介于淡粉与淡橙之间的一种颜色,最下面是带有荧光的透明甲油。无名指上各雕一朵花,图案与脚的相同,上面也各镶一颗水钻。其他的手指是画的,看起来也美极了。
