Your
mother's hands. They bathed you in a sink when you were pink and new and
scary-small. Cleaned up countless numbers of your messes. Guided you across
busy streets, spent tireless hours correcting your homework, packed you healthy
lunches. Reached out to you in times of trouble and times of joy.
What better way to show your appreciation than with the gift of a Mother's Day
manicure? The very name comes from the Latin words for "care" and "hands."
Let Mom sit back in the chair and have us take care of her hands for a
change. File and shape them to perfection. Cut back those cuticles she never
has time to deal with. Soothe her tired hands with lotion and massage.
Then let her choose a style she has pretended not to care about all these years
because she was too busy caring for you. Perhaps a classy French manicure, with clear or blush polish and white along
the nailtips would do. Or maybe a reverse French, with the upper "moons"
painted white and the rest the color of her choice.
Maybe Mom would like some long-lasting acrylic nails to accommodate her busy
lifestyle. We also can offer a relaxing paraffin manicure for her, where heated wax
moisturizes and softens-the perfect treatment for dry, overworked hands.
Perhaps Mom will want to go jazzy, with a flowery or abstract design painted on
her nails. It's her day. It's her choice.
Now, look down at your own nails. Hmmm... maybe they could use a
little loving care too. If so, a mother-daughter trip will be the
perfect excursion this Mother's Day.
