Sweetest Party

These days, many people wouldn’t dream of going a week without enjoying a pampering professional manicure or pedicure. Salons and spas need people who can do a top-quality job—and that’s exactly what this manual teaches: the skills to give an expert manicure and pedicure, whether for pay or just for yourself. It’s filled with expert advice, including an introduction to nail structure, equipment lists, and detailed, visual demonstrations of soaking, filing, trimming, and polishing. Massage routines, exfoliation, buffing, and general nail care are all covered, along with information on artificial nails and the standard three-tiered system for applying them. You’ll even learn about the wonderful world of nail art, with inspirational ideas for adorning painted nails with gems, rhinestones, foil leaf, stick-ons, and transfers.
