Chocolate Manicure & Pedicure

Chocolate Manicure & Pedicure

Basic Instructions for a Home Manicure and/or Pedicure

File/shape nails with an emery board, for the feet, use a foot file on any dry, rough spots; and remove any nail polish.

Soften cuticles by soaking hands and feet, for 5-10 minutes in a salt bath made with a combination of sea salt and Epsom salts, warm water and a couple drops of Chocolate Extract. If you have any tiny cuts or scratches you may like to use a bit of liquid soap instead of the salts for your soak.

Towel/pat dry.

Apply Chocolate Scrub (recipe below), massage into feet/hands to polish the skin.

Cleanse hands/feet - to warm water, add a couple drops of Chocolate Extract and a capful of unscented bubble bath, liquid soap, whatever you have on hand.

Rinse, towel dry.

Gently push back cuticles using a cuticle stick.

Apply polish - when polishing toe nails use toe separators and or pedicure slippers, if you wish.
