Twinkle Toes

Last night I walked out of my apartment into the soft summer heat wearing nothing but a breezy summer dress and smile. Goodbye winter layers, hello summer! It is around this time every year that magazines showcase summer tips and trends, ranging from the hottest new colors for your wardrobe to the latest technology in bronzers. There is one thing that always makes the list and in my opinion is always the perfect summer accessory; a great pedicure.

Not only do pedicured toes make any pair of heels or sandals more fabulous, the process can be a mini vacation in the middle of a stressful week. Some people get massages, I get pedicures. Fancy Nails, now at a new location inside Hilldale, is the perfect place to retreat for all your nail needs, especially the perfect pedicure.

There is nothing better than sinking into a plush leather chair and dipping your tired toes into a warm bath of soothing bubbles, not to mention the foot massage. I happen to be partial to the classic look of a "French" pedicure, but for those looking to make a color statement, choose a bright polish from OPI's new spring/summer line India.

Those looking to give their toes a little beginning-of-summer tlc, can head to Fancy Nails for a discounted pedicure. Blog readers can print this entry and bring it into Fancy Nails anytime between June 16th and 18th to receive 10 percent off their pedicure. They do take walk-ins, but to secure a spot call (608) 233-5436 and schedule an appointment. So, treat yourself to a "pedi-cation" and see how just a little bit of polish can make the summer sun seem that much brighter.
