Bolivian Nails

Never thought you´d see this, did you? When asked if I wanted to get my nails done, my first reaction was, "Oh, that´s okay". But after further consideration I figured it would be good to experience part of these girls everyday life.

As we stepped into the somewhat underground market you could immediately smell the fumes of nail polish and alcohol. In the back corner sat about 7 manicurists hard at work, rustling through the different colors and stencils. With my eyes opened wide I looked at the intricate detail of the designs and although I would never wear this fashion at home I figured here there was nothing to lose. So I picked my design and awaited my new experience. These girls were about to perform their art...
5 minutes later, I was done. 5 Bs later (60 cents), I had paid. Anticlimactic.
