For the paraffin treatment, purchase a block of paraffin at the grocery store for next to nothing. If you have never seen it, go to the section with the canning supplies. I will tell you how to put this all together a bit later, but use the oil from your basic spa manicure, and if you wish, go to the health food store and purchase a tiny bottle of essential oil to add to your paraffin bath to scent it. Peach and lavender are used in the salon most frequently and are the safest. If you venture out beyond these oils, make sure that the oils you choose will not be irritating to the skin. Hopefully the salesperson at the health food store will be knowledgeable enough to help you here, if not, find another store or do your own research.

About Nail Tech Secrets
The Nail Tech Secrets that you see today was my first foray into writing about beauty online. The site originated in January 2005 as a good old handwritten html site, taken from the manuscripts of a book I was writing while staying at home taking care of my seriously ill husband. A few months later I put it on blog software, then in December 2005, my romance with WordPress began, and the result is the site you see now. I ebb and flow in my tending of NTS, but if you want to learn to do manicures and pedicures yourself, explore the categories and you will find lots of in depth information. And I hope you will subscribe to my email updates and get the latest and greatest nail news, tips and how to's from Nail Tech Secrets!
