This is a foot footof my friend.
She enjoysnotes nail art routinely.

Because in this blog, I get a comment like this sometimes.
KONOYOUNA KOMENTO WO TOKIDOKI ITADAKIMASU.
"I want you to introduce Japanese nail art."

They say, "Japanese nail art is Japanese splendid art!!"

However, I do not do nail art.

Therefore, (DAKARA) I asked my friend,
to show me her finger and a tool of the nail art.
For a man, it may be a trifling thing, but,
let's just take a look at shinethe world of the nail artshine together.

As it goes to the tip of the nail,
the gradation that comes to have dark color.upwardrightart
It is called gradation nail.
She drew the red heartheart01
by hand.
Because it is considerably careful work,
and it is hard to repaint it,
so it is like a gambling.

This is the nail art that put beautiful
lameshine and beads decoration on pink manicure.
To paint different design for each finger nail is popular, too.

By the way, (TOKORODE)
she is not a professional nail artist.
She is a common office worker.

In Japan, many of the japanese  woman can do the  nail art like this.
There seem to be many Japanese women skillful with their hands.paper

Nail art such as the photographcamera downis possible when you use nail
tips which I introduced a while ago.
But, she likes to draw on her nail directly better,
it seems more natural for her. YORI SHIZEN NA KANJI GA IINODESU.

20090330-06.jpgBy the way, (TOKORODE) in Japan, there is a nail salon at the most of big stationtrain and airport.airplane
Salon of any place is very cleanshine.
There are many woman visitors entering such a nail salon,
before getting on a train or while waiting for airplane at the airport.
Certainly, (TASHIKANI) this is convenient, and it's good for the women
like me who do not usually go to the nail salon, too.
It makes me think that I want to enter the salon for the quick
nail change and for the time killingsandclock.
An artist of the Japanese nail salon is very good.
From a simple practical nail to the decorations of the showy flamboyance nail, they can do your nail, anyway you want. Various requests are answered.

You've got to try Japanese nail salon, if you have a chance to visit Japan.
