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

See you soon!!

Robben Island



Entrance to Robenn Island Prison



 

Prison Precinct 
Robben Island Is an island in Table Bay. The name is Dutch in origin and means "Seal Island" and is roughly oval shaped. Robben Island is most populary known for its use as an isolation prison for political prisoners. Some of the islands most popular prisoners were the past president Nelson Mandela and current president Jacob Zuma. Currently Robben Island is a tourist destination and has been declared a "World Heritage Site" in 1999. There are tours of the island and prison that are led by former prisoners of the island as your guide. Many South Africans call Robben Island Robbeneiland.     

 

 

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. The Three colours black, yellow, and green are also found in the  banner of the African National Congress. The other three colours blue, red, and white are part of the dutch tricolours and on the modern flag of the United Kingdom. This nail design is a beautiful piece of art and shows history at the same time with it's stylish geometric lines proves it to be a fantastic acessory with most outfits. I hope you enjoyed this journey to South Africa see you soon.

 



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.

Terminal 6: Australia

Welcome back my Trendy Nail Travelers, your flight attendant Beata here, buckle up for we are ready to fly off into a very exotic trip!  

Welcome To Darwin, Australia! 

Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory, Australia. It is the most cosmopolitan city which boasts a population made up of from more than 60 nationalities and 70 different ethnic backgrounds. This multicultural mix of a city is highlighted by its many exciting, ethnic cultural festivals, food and craft markets. Darwin is closer to Indonesia than to both Sydney or Melbourne. It has evolved from its old days of being a laid back frontier town to a still relaxed and charming yet sophisticated city!

One of the most visited landmarks found in the Northern Territory is the Kakadu National Park. 

Kakadu is a timeless place, a beautiful and diverse location beyond belief. It is one of the largest National Parks in Australia, covering almost 13 miles (which is almost half the size of Switzerland!). Kakadu is inhabited by the Aborginal People and some still live in towns or settlements in Kakadu. Kakadu National Park is the home for 2,000 plant species, most in which have been used locally by the Aboriginal tribe for medicinal, food and weaving purposes. Kakadu is also the home to the most astonishing array of animals in which can be found nowhere else in this world!! 

Australia is known for many things: its heritage, wildlife, nature and of course its city-life.

 So here are TWO designs which you can rock out Aussie style. 

Design Number 1, what better way then to represent Australia then creating this super easy and very simple Australian Flag nail design! The Australian flag was first flown in 1901 and it is the expression of Australian identity and pride. 

Design Number 2 is super cute and very fun! I just love it! What else screams Australia than Australia's very own native Kangaroos!? This nail design you just need a base coat (any color of your choice) and just a set of animal decals which are super easy to use and are very easy to apply. 

Australia was a blast! I hope you guys enjoyed this very exotic trip!! 

Like the Aussie's say " Hooroo Mate, See ya Tomorrow!"

Καλώς ήρθατε στο Terminal 5

(Welcome To)       

We Have Reached Greece!!!            

 

Γεια σας!(Hello) again my trendy nail diva's this is your favorite flight attendant/tour guide Aesha here and we have officially just landed in Athens, Greece. 

 

 

There are many historical land marks here in Greece like the Parthenon and the Acropolis. But today we will be visiting Mount Lycabettus. Mount Lycabettus is a 908 foot mountain made up of cretaceous limestone. Mount Lycabettus hill is the highest point of the city that surrounds it. The bottom of the hill is covered with pine trees and at the top of the two peaks of Mount Lycabettus there is a 19th century chapel, a restaurant and a theater. The theater on the top of the hill is open-aired and has held many Greek and international performers like Ray Charles and Bob Dylan. Mount Lycabettus is a popular tourist destination and has a train that leaves every 30 minutes to bring you to the top of the hill.   

 

  

 

This nail design would be a beautiful addition while your visiting one of the many beaches in Greece.

The country of Greece has many islands that are located in the Mediteranean Sea like the Argo-Saronic islands and the North Aegean islands. To give you a little information about the Mediterranean Sea; it is connected to the Atlantic ocean and is almost completely enclosed by water. The name Mediteranea is originated from the latin word mediterraneus, meaning between lands. This sea was an important trade route during ancient times and is averaged to be about 4900ft deep. The typical Mediterranean climate is hot and dry during the summer and mildly rainy in the winters. This nail design is reminiscent of the beautiful blue-green shades of the Mediterranean and would be a beautiful accent while you enjoy this countries beautiful landscapes.
