They're bright *pink*

I went and got my nails done. O_O
This is a first for me. I have never gone anywhere to get my nails done before. I think a roommate may once have painted them for me, but I'm iffy on the truth of that statement.

Who'd'a thunk my first manicure would be in Ethiopia?

One of the programs we support is vocational training for young adults, and one of the vocations is beauty salon skills, like hairdressing and manicures.

So, we all went and saw the training center and enjoyed chatting with the Director, and then got our nails done. Handy that all the volunteers this trip are female, no?
^_^

Anyways. They had no such demure colours as I usually permit my nails to be if they are painted at all, so I had bright pink chosen for me. And it is BRIGHT. PINK.

I always think my fingers look strangely deformed when the nails are a substantially different colour from natural.  I mean, I'll get used to it I suppose. But usually I try it, take one look, and wipe the whole mess off.

And go back to nude cream colours that basically only make my nails shinier.

*heh*

And this picture makes my hand look like a disembodied apparition, but whatever.
