Embellished Nails (Singaporean Style)

During the weeks I spent in Singapore over Christmas, I couldn't help but become really aware of the fact that a lot of women seem to spend an incredible amount of effort over their nails! Singapore is literally FILLED with shopping malls, with almost every shopping mall housing at least one nail salon! Amazingly to me, whenever I walked past one it would be filled with women having manicures and pedicures. Personally, I would never even think to have a pedicure because firstly, I hate having my feet touched, and secondly, (as far as I'm aware...) nobody sees and judges the attractiveness of my feet on a regular basis?! So when speaking to my wise old Granny, she told me it's probably because women always have their feet on show in sandals and flip-flops because of the heat! I'm all for good grooming, but there is a limit I will reach as to how much I really care about my feet. There also seemed to be a big market for embellished/jewelled nails and so I thought it'd be rude not to join in the fun! So here is the result!

I had these done on Christmas eve and they only cost $19 (about £10!) They're Swarovski crystals stuck onto a multi-coloured glitter base, so not too difficult to re-create at home. I loved them, but I'd probably never wear them here in England because they were pretty impractical and mainly more of a bit of Christmas Day fun than anything else, but you know what they say... When in Rome!
