[Ed. note - we are moving right on to the Spa Pedicure this week due to the news from Dallas that I reported yesterday about people being infected by Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria from pedicure baths. I hope you will forgive me if I stress cleanliness so much here, but this bacteria is very, very dangerous and life threatening. Please take the time and make the effort to do your own pedicures, or ensure that the work area is very clean if you must go to a salon.]
Ok, on to the intro:
The Basic Spa Pedicure is very similar to the Spa Manicure, except, naturally, it is performed on the feet. Something special to
remember about manicuring your toes is that you do not need a topcoat on toes. Just your basic basecoat, and two coats of color is all you need, as your toes do not go through the abuse that your nails do. The added thickness of the topcoat on your toes can even encourage them to chip under the pressure of wearing shoes all day. So just skip the topcoat, but be sure and allow your toes plenty of time to dry completely before you put shoes/socks/stockings on, preferably overnight!
So, lets get started!
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!
