                                                     Terminal 15 Israel

Hello again my travelers, this is your flight attendant Fatima. As our journey comes to a close we visit Jerusalem in Israel.

 

 

 

Jerusalem is where the three main religions began so there’s many religious sites. The Dome of Rock is sacred to both Christians and Muslims. Construction for the temple started during the Byzantine era, and was modeled after Byzantine churches. The  structure is octagonal in shape, 20 m in diameter, and holds 24 columns. It was raided  by crusaders in 1099 and given to a group called the Augustinians. The Dome of Rock  became a model for rounded churches across the world.

 

 

 

Israeli flag- blue dye was used a lot by Isrealites, it was synonymous with a prayer shawl. People

were supposed to keep a tassel of this shawl at all times.  The blue dye was made from a species of

shellfish. It started becoming rare so people started keeping a white tassel.  The six point star

represents unity among the jews. I think there flag shows how holy Jews are. They are known as

god's chosen people, and have a coven with him.

Terminal 13: Polska

Welcome Back my Trendy Travelers! This is Beata and I hope that your last trip to Samoa was very exciting! For our very last trip together, I will be taking you guys to visit Poland! Absolutely one of my favorites place to visit!

There are a lot of places that Poland has to offer for tourists. But today I  have chosen the Old city of Krakow and it's Main Square Market.

Krakow's main market square, also called as the "Rynek" in Polish, serves as the city's gravitational center. It dates back to the 13th century and measures at 200 by 200 meters, the Rynek is also ranked as one of the largest medieval squares in Europe surrounded by elegant townhouses.    
Back in 1257 when the main square was first designed, the purpose of it was to attract passing merchants so that they would offer their goods in Krakow. It was also a witness to many important events in the history of Poland.
Now in present times, the ground level of the market square has risen by over 5 meters. Underneath the Rynek are large basements which have been transformed into really interesting cafes and restaurants, theaters or small archaeological museums. The square is also dominated by many small gift shops, hundreds of pubs, clubs and other interesting places worth being visited. 
The Main square is truly an amazing site, all the routes in the old city center focus on it and also lead into it.
The main square is also very popular for gatherings.. whether its family or traditional national celebrations.


Poland Inspired Design! 

 The inspirational colors are White and Red, which are the color of Poland's national flag, this is represented on the middle finger of the design. All the other fingers have a stamped design of Poland's National Flower which is the corn poppy. This is a simple, yet a very native design which captures Poland to the best! Make sure to definitely rock this nail art design out next time you visit this historical country! 

The Poland flag was formally acquired on August 1, 1919. The white stands for peace and morality while the red stands for endurance, gallantry, vigor and bravery. 

The corn poppy flower is the national flower of Poland. It is red- just like one of the two Polish national colors. Poppy became linked with Poland after a famous song entitled Red poppies at Monte Cassino. During World War II a famous battle took place at Monte Cassino, also known as the Battle for Rome. Under the command of a famous general, named Anders, the Polish attack lead to a final victory which allowed the Poles to reach the top of the hill and raise their Polish Flag. Many Polish soldiers were buried at the slope of the Monte Cassino mountain where this entire mountain was full with red poppies during the battle. Thus, the song Red poppies at Monte Cassino (Cerwone Maki na Monte Cassino), commemorates the heroism of polish soldiers and links them to the poppies saying how the poppies are nourished by Polish blood thus why they are so red. 

Welcome to Terminal 12

 

Samoa 

 

 

Hey! again my international nail diva's this is your favorite flight attendant/ tour guide Aesha here and we just landed on the beautiful island of Apia,Samoa. 

 

 

 

Samoa is a country consisting of 10 islands. Samoa is located in the Pacific Ocean,below the equator between Hawaii and New Zealand. Apia is the capital and largest city in Samoa. The population of Apia is roughly a little over 37,000. A little history about the city of Apia is that it use to be a small village but in the 1950's it officially became identified as the official capital of Samoa. Apia was a place of many non-violent standoff's when the country was going through a political power struggle. Apia has a tropical rainforest climate, which is expected due to it's geographical location. 

 

 

 

The Orange Plumeria flower also known as the Fragipanis is a flower originated in South and Central America. They arrived on the island of Samoa and Australia via the Polynesian peoples. Some fun facts about Plumeria's is that they can stand up to 500 degree temperatures. Also that in modern Polynesian culture the Fragipanis is worn by women to indicate there relationship status. The name Plumeria came from Charles Plumier, a 17th century French botanist who was first to describe the Plumeria. The Fragipanis originated by a nobleman,Marquis Fragipani, who created perfume used to scent gloves in the 16th century. This is a beautiful tropical flower that looks wonderful as a nail design that is shown above.

 

I Hoped You enjoyed Samoa!!!

Welcome back my Trendy Nail Travelers. This is Beata, the last destination was a blast, so now be prepared to fly to Eastern Europe!

WELCOME TO RUSSIA!!

This spectacular castle is St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow! Who would of thought such a colorful and odd looking building would be a popular know cathedral. St. Basil's cathedral was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century. St. Basil's Cathedral was named after St. Basil the blessed, upon his death, Basil was buried where this cathedral now stands. He can be visited in his chapel on the lower floor, where he lies in a silver casket.

The cathedral is located at one end of the Red Square. It consists of nine chapels. The riot of colors and shapes that make up St. Basil's Cathedral is unmatched anywhere else in this world. It is said that  this building is combined with the images from the "scales of a golden fish, the enameled skin of a serpent, the changing hues of the lizard, a glossy rose and the azure of the pigeons neck." Although the towers and domes appear chaotic, there is symmetry and symbolism in this design. Inside St. Basil's Cathedral is a maze of galleries winding from chapel to chapel and level to level.

 The walls are painted in very exquisite and intricate floral and geometric patterns.

Terminal 10: Deutsch

                                      

Welcome back, this is Fatima again! Hope your last trip was great because today we are traveling to a Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany! 

 This beautiful castle  was  built  as  a  hideaway  for  their  King  Ludwig.  Ludwig  wanted  to  commission  a  castle  to  restore  glory  of  a  medieval  times  castle.  It actually turned  out  to  look  like  a  fairy-tale castle surrounded by the woods.  King Ludwig  didn't live to see it completed, but in 1886 it was opened to the  public. It was a model for Cinderella's castle in Disneyland. The  interior decors and art pieces are actually inspired by fairy-tales and  legends.

 German Flag Nail Design 

The colors  that are associated with Germany are black, red, and gold. During the Napoleonic wars  these were the colors of the soldiers uniforms

  

You can achieve this German Flag nail ombre with a simple nail sponge. Just use a rectangle nail sponge and starting from the top of the sponge,swipe a color of the black, then the red and lastly the yellow nail polish. Then you just apply it to your nail, you might have to apply it twice to one nail to get a deeper color. And then you repeat this with each and everyone of your nails. Lastly just apply a layer of top coat to give it that hi-gloss look.

  As they say in Germany ... Bis später!!

Terminal 9 

 

Italy!!!!  

Ciao once again to my travelers, this is your favorite flight attendant/ tour guide Fatima here and we just landed in Rome, Italy. We will be visiting the famous Coliseum.

 



One of the most notable structures in Roman architecture is the Coliseum. The Coliseum can be seen as a monument that was built in the Roman tradition of celebrating great victories. This is because it was built after Rome conquered another culture. It was used for gladiator antics and animal slaughtering. In the 16th-17th centuries the coliseum was used for religious reasons. Today it's the most visited attraction although a lot of it is ruined. A restoration campaign was carried out from 1993 to 2000.

 

 

 

 

 

Roman numeral nail designs- Roman numerals was the numeric system of ancient Rome. Numbers are formed by combining symbols and adding the values. The symbols are written from left to right, and greatest to least. In ancient times this was used to tell time. Now in present societies it can denote preface or volumes of a book. Roman numerals can represent a grand event like the Winter Olympics XXI. In some places of Europe numerals are still used to record dates, and to number floors. 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed Rome, Italy and learned some great historical facts and trendy nail design ideas

This nail design is inspired by South Africa's Flag. This flag was adopted on April 27, 1994 and was designed by State Herald Frederick Brownwell to represent the new democracy. A little history about this flag is that it came into thought in the 1990's when Nelson Mandela was freed from prison.

Terminal 7: Giza, Egypt

Salaam alaikum  once  again,  this  is  Fatima!  Prepare  to  fly  to  the  far  East!

Egyptian  pyramids  are  one  of  the  most  magnificent  landmarks  in  history.  They reflected  the role  of  pharaohs  in  society.  The  most  notable  pyramid  was  the  Great  Pyramid  of  Giza.  It's one  of  the  remaining  seven  wonders.  It  was  built  for  Pharaoh  Khufu,  was  the  tallest  man  made  structure  for  over  3,000  years.  It  apparently  took  20  years  and  100,00  men  to complete  the  structure.  Not  much  is  known  about  Pharaoh  Khufu's  reign  besides  his pyramid's  grandeur.  Egyptians  believed  pyramids  lead  to  prosperity  in  their  afterlife. They were  often  left  in  tombs.

Eye  of  Horus  nail  designs

This  symbol  looks  like  a  smoky  eye  with  a  teardrop  coming  down. Horus  was  the  Egyptian  god  of  protection,  sacrifice,  and  healing.  He  was  depicted  as  a  falcon,  who  was  associated  with  the  sun.  His  left  eye  was  associated  with  the  moon (Thoth).  There's  a  myth  his  eye  was  gouged  out  and  the  moon  God  Thoth  healed  him.  Horus  gave  the  healed  eye  to  his  father  to  restore  his  life.  The  eye  in  hieroglyphics  could  represent  protection  or  wrath.
