Callus in the Morning

Sports Pedicures at Eden Nails by Indigo

In the garden of earthly delights, there are luxuries unknown to modern feet.

Thanks to Eden Nails by Indigo, little piggies are free to run, dribble, or dance without worries of blisters, smashed nails, or other eyesores.

The clever establishment’s sports pedicure keeps feet ready for marathons or a pair of slinky sandals. First expert nail technician and massage therapist Indigo Smith examines your soles for shape and places of roughness and determines how your toes lie.

She then files nails to suit your gait, smoothes calluses (leaving them intact to prevent new blisters), and soothes muscles using Flora and Fauna butter rubs.

As one would expect in Eden, bright colors abound. There are even wildlife sightings on account of Minx.

Who could resist?
