nails & tennis: part 2
nails! and tennis! my two favorite things 
.
you know i cannot resist a pro tennis player who wears nail polish on the courts. not to say that i only watch women’s tennis for the manicures, but to me it’s refreshing to see female athletes playing hard and caring about their nails too!
this year at the 2011 australian open i didn’t spot a lot of well-manicured players. my girl, the nail diva serena is still injured. i was kinda looking forward to see her nails–she wore a dark green nail polish during the tournament last year which really got me hyped, especially since she won the championship. another tennis player i like simply because she has killer long nails, alona bondarenko, is also injured. and most of the other great tennis players don’t bother with the nail polish.
however, there is one tennis player who has managed to make me giddy over her nails: world no. 1 caroline wozniacki.
when i saw her and her nails on tv, i just had to run the the computer and do a google search to find out up close what color she is wearing. i love this on her. a bright, bold orange-red crème that coordinates well with the matching undergarment of her tennis outfit and is perfect for the summer season down under.
i love that she wears these bold colors, i wonder if she is a nail polish addict in the making? 
another manicure sighting i liked were these minty green nails sported by the russian maria kirilenko:
ana ivanovic was bounced out of the tournament early, but she stuck around to watch the action and decided to wear a pretty taupe-brown color:
aggie radwanska, from poland, with a flattering tyrian purple color on her nails. but this picture just makes me LOL:
the face of her racket just broke clean off during a rally! surely that’s a first!
and though it is a little hard to tell, i spy venus williams wearing purple nail polish as well! she hardly ever wears nails polish on the courts:
so yea that’s my comeback post lol. i know not everyone likes tennis like i do, but surely there are some tennis fans out in the interwebs who also happen to share my “obsession” with nail polish, right? i’ve been ghost for the past week or so, but i’m trying to catch up with reading and commenting on other nail blogs as well as updating my own. i just started spring semester and had a ton of work to do. aaaaaand, i had to “nubbin-ize” my nails for clinical so that i wouldn’t cause problems by inadvertently scratching a patient or myself. well, at least that’s what my clinical instructor told me. :rollseyes: so i will be keeping it low-key for a while and probably won’t change my nail polish as often.
thanks for reading!
