So where would Nicolita go to escape the city? The romantic countryside, of course. In a recent photo shoot she made a scene by selling platanos on the side of the road.Of course Nicolita always dresses the part. She wore the platanos bikini, fittingly. She attracted a few happy onlookers, while working.Remember you can find the platanos bikini at mynicolita.com !
Xtreme Lashes takes false eyelashes to a whole new level. These synthetic lashes are applied in single strands instead of one full set. The process can take anywhere from an hour to two hours. A stylist will apply the single strands to the base of your eyelid and curl it. The lashes are applied with a special adhesive, so they won't come off. Xtreme Lashes can last indefinitely. You can reapply individual lashes, as they come off.
This would be the perfect product for Nicolita! As she jet sets around the world, she will never have to worry about curling her lashes again.
Case in point: she stopped traffic to model the Cono Que Lindo bikini in the streets of Cuba. She charmed this taxi driver into being the back drop for the photo shoot. Of course he was more than happy to participate. Who wouldn't want to be photographed with Nicolita? You can find the cono que lindo bikini here at MyNicolita.com
