Ukrainian Nail Wraps
Hey Poopchik!
Maybe you don't know Baba is not only amazing cook, but fashion maven. One her first job in Canada was Elizabeth Arden beauty executive. She love travel from store to store with big make up case, making art on peoples' faces. She quit when she find out they test on animals.
Baba proud to introduce her line of cruelty-free Ukrainian nail wraps!
Dozens of designs, some scanned direct from vintage fabric.
These are high resolution images on very flexible MINX film foil, not toxic, cheap plastic like some wrap we don't talk about. Baba's nail wraps never tested on innocent animal, and non-toxic. You wrap on nail, heat with blow dryer, and go.
If you like science: film foil is material used in electronic capacitor, invented by Polish fellow name Karol Pollak. Revolutionary material.
MINX nail wrap last longer than salon manicure. In fact, this product is what many salon is now using instead, for around $50. But you can do at home for much less expensive, and have traditional Ukrainian art!
Please don't mistake Baba's MINX nail wraps for cheapsnake plastic/PVC line. This line support animal testing and have toxin. You know from Baba's books how much she love animal. She search long time for beauty product that don't cause harm and is also beautiful to use!
So far Baba present 200 design variations, in many different colors. Everything from floral and geometric pattern we see across Ukraina, to vintage Hutsul, Rudky and TransCarpathian.
Fashion tip: When you visit nail wrap page, be sure you click on images of whole hand. Wraps have edge, so are centred for nail. Single nail photo show entire design. You can see examples below.

It seem Ukrainian life is one long holiday. When we not working hard. Is now coming Ukrainian Mardi Gras! Maslyanitsa is celebrated week before Lent, which come early in 2016. Depend which calendar you follow. Baba leave religious debate alone.
Maslyanitsa is holiday when we stuff our face five minutes after digestion is finish from Rizdvo and Malanka. Traditional is nalysnyky and mlyntsi, crepes and pancakes.
In Ukraina, we make straw figure of butter goddess Maslyanitsa (butter is maslo) and throw mlyntsi at her, then burn her to say, "Bye bye, stupid winter, we don't need you no more."
Mardi Gras mean "Fat Tuesday", because of how much everybody eat that week. Should be "Fat Friday to Sunday."
You will find many crepes, pancakes and Ukrainian Mardi Gras detail in chapter four of Baba's Kitchen: Ukrainian Soul Food:
