This summer, why not get your clients’ feet ready for sandal season by giving them a perfect set of pink-and-whites? Whether you use acrylic or gel, your clients will be certain that pretty French toenails will withstand the tough summer season.
Pedique plus by LCN is a one-component, light-cured resin that can be used to cosmetically restore damage toenails or simply create a permanent French look. It was created with high flexibility to follow the natural movement of the feet. A variety of color options makes it easy to achieve individualized color for each client, so Pedique Plus looks and feels natural. As an added benefit, Pedique plus is enhanced with an antimicrobial component.
