I didn't see a post like this in the archives, and I thought it might be fun! Mistresses are invited to add comments, suggestions, or likes/dislikes as they wish. For nearly a year when I was younger, I worked at a salon as an airbrush nail artist. During that time, I did almost everything including basic manicures and pedicures. So what follows here is the basic procedure I was taught to give a pedicure. Hope it helps some of the male subs who may have never done it before. Supplies and Materials: 2 large terry bath towels 2 small terry hand towels 1 tub large enough to cover two feet in water Scented liquid hand soap, or regular soap and some wonderful smelling essential oil Massage oil or a good lotion Nail polish remover Nail polish (your D's choice of color) Toe spreader (optional, but handy) Cotton balls or tissue Orangewood stick (stick for pushing back cuticles) Cuticle nippers Nail file(s) - one heavy side and one light sided file will do Buffing pad - foam pad with sandpaper coating on three sides for buffing and shining nail bed Callous pad - a paddle for removing callouses from the bottoms of the feet Soothing music & low lights if possible Very comfy chair for Her to sit in Setup: Fold one of your large terry towels in half and place it on the floor in front of the chair She will sit in. Spread the hand towel out next to it on your right or left depending on which hand is your dominant. Place your tools neatly on the small towel so everything is beautiful and easily reachable. You will need warm water handy, or already in the tub. Put your music on, dim the lights... Basic Procedure: With your Mistress in place, begin by establishing touch on her feet and legs by gently caressing and running hands over lower legs. If She is wearing pants, roll them up just above the knees so they do not get in the way. Remove any old polish on her nail beds using a cotton ball and the polish remover. Starting with the rough side of your file, gently smooth the edges of her toe nails so they are smooth across with nothing hanging off or out. You will stroke from the end to the center from each side, not back and forth - single strokes from end to center. Be sure to take the file under the lip of each nail a bit to smooth the part of the nail that curls over. Repeat with the smooth side of the file. Finally, take up your buffing block and using the softest side and the plain foam side, stroke down each nail bed to give them a surface buff. Now position your tub with the water, scented soap, and/or soap and scented oil under her feet on the towel. Gently place Her feet in the water, and allow them to soak for 5 minutes. During that time, be entertaining in conversation, or fetch her a glass of wine, or whatever else She may wish from you. After soaking, take one foot out of the water, and use the paddle to gently remove any callous skin from the ball and heel of that foot. If there is a lot, don't try to remove it all in one session, just enough to get the rough edges off and take the thickness down a bit. Place the foot back in the water and repeat with the other foot. Take the other hand towel, wet it in the water, and wring it out slightly. Wash her lower legs with the warm water. Use slow, rythmic strokes down and across the legs - sensually wash, don't scrub. Ask Her to raise Her feet, and shift the tub of water out of the way (you can dump it out later). Guide Her feet down to the towel and use your other dry towel to pat Her feet and legs dry. Use the orangewood stick to gently push back the cuticles on each toe. Don't press too hard here, or push the stick between the cuticle and the nail bed. It is butted up against the cuticle and used to push the whole thing back just a tiny bit. It is important to do this at this stage while the cuticles are soft from the soak. If there is a lot of cuticle material, you can carefully use the cuticle nippers to cut some of the excess away. This should be done with extreme care. Some prefer to also use a cuticle cream to rub into the cuticles to help soften them. I have found that a soak usually softens cuticles sufficiently, but if She prefers, you can incorporate this as well. Next, take up your massage oil or cream and give the lower legs and feet a sensual massage - 3-5 minutes per leg and foot minimum, or longer as She desires. Go slowly and don't rush this part. Use your toe spreaders at this point to gently spread Her toes for polishing. Remove any oil from the nail beds with another cotton ball and polish remover. Paint Her toenails with a clear coat first and allow to dry at least 2 minutes. This is done as a barrier from the color polish which can stain the nail (especially reds). Apply a coat(s) of color polish and allow to dry for at least 2 minutes each coat. Apply a topcoat of clear polish. If you have an 1/2 sided gems or stones, this is a great time to apply them as nail decoration. Use your orangewood stick - wet the tip, press down on the top of the gem so it sticks, and lay it down into the wet topcoat polish. Allow at least 5-10 minutes before any shoes or socks are put on. So that is the basic procedure. There are lots of ways to change it up, or incorporate it as part of a larger bathing or grooming ritual designed to delight Her. Or if they enjoy such things, Mistresses can turn the tables and give a pedicure to a slave or sub bound to the chair, taking the time while soaking & polish drying to tickle, tease, or torture as they wish. Fun for all...enjoy!
