Manicures And Pedicures: Secrets To A Great Salon Experience And Maintenance At Home!

By Jill Goldsberry | February 14, 2017 | Beauty

Hey Divas! It’s Valentine’s Day. If you haven’t given yourself a treat, why not start with a great manicure and pedicure?

If you haven’t ever had one, or it’s been a long time, treating yourself to professional manicures and pedicures in your favorite nail salon is something you should do ASAP!

So what are the secrets of a perfect salon manicure and pedicure experience? Here are our tips!

Take a break from your smartphone

Yes, it would be fun to crush another level of Cookie Jam. But a manicure and pedicure are meant to be a soothing experience. Allow yourself to get lost in the moment and leave emails/tweets/Shapchat alone for 60 minutes or so and allow yourself to really enjoy the experience. You can find manicures and pedicures near me on Google Maps.

Treat your feet

You’re on your tootsies all day long. If any part of the body deserves some extra pampering, it’s these babies. Most salons offer fun additions to a standard pedicure. But getting a professional pedicure is only the start of your experience. Maintain your toes and heels once you are home with a peppermint foot care scrub and lotion kit. Use it at least once a week.

Make your manicure last with longwear polish

If you want your nails to last a fortnight (that’s 14 days in British speak), then a longer wear nail polish, like essie Gel Couture in FAIRY TAILOR, is right for you. Your nail will look good through 14 days of romantic interludes. This home-care system doesn’t require a UV light and is easy to remove. Make sure to keep your nails healthy with cuticle oil and wear gloves when you have your hands in water for an extended period of time.
