Pedicures and the practice of foot care where thought to have originated in Ancient Egypt, in the royal palaces of the Pharaohs, and a depiction of early manicures and pedicures was found on a carving from a Pharaoh's tomb. It is believed that nobles in Ancient Babylon created solid gold tools specifically for Manicures and Pedicures. The use of fingernail polish can be traced back to China in 3000 BC, where nail colour indicated one’s social status. According to a Ming Dynasty manuscript, the Royal family painted their nails black and red. The word pedicure stems from the Latin word ‘Pedis’, which means foot, and ‘cura’ which means care.
Gel’s is a gel-based polish that uses a UV or LED light to cure the polish onto the nail. The polish can last from 10-14 days, depending on the growth of the nail and the client’s day to day care of their hands and feet. It is perfect for those who are wanting to go on holiday or have an event to attend and not wanting to chip the polish by day-to-day chores, such as gardening and housework.
