Toeing the Line

Tierra Mia Organic Nail Spa Opens

Last year, your gladiators made you feel courageous; this year, they accentuate your fugly feet.

March to Tierra Mia Organic Nail Spa to wage war on unsightly creepers.

After building a following with her mobile manicure service (no worries, she’ll still offer it) Karina Restrepo is putting down roots. Her new, street-level spa focuses on nontoxic nail products, with massage, waxing, and makeup application added to the mix.

There’s plenty of room for bridal showers or girls’ nights out. Or treat just yourself to a luxurious pedicure like Salt of the Earth, where natural ingredients are mixed with a mortar and pestle right on the spot.

Each service incorporates extra touches like cinnamon-infused water and fresh coconut to leave your tootsies in tip-top shape.

No matter where you rome.

Tierra Mia Organic Nail Spa, 328 South 17th Street (215-735-7980 or tierramiaorganicnailspa.com).
