Lemondrop Martini Manicure
Martinis exude a certain glamour, and if you've ever had a Lemondrop Martini - you know how delicious it is.
Curiously, the same ingredients that make a Lemondrop Martini also make a great manicure! Vodka is a natural cleanser and disinfectant, lemon juice lightens nails, and sugar is perfect for
gentle exfoliating.
Finish up with Citron Leaf Lotion, scented with Lime, Bergamot and Green Tea - it's the perfect ending.

Lemondrop Martini Manicure
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Vodka
1 Tbsp Orange Liqueur
1 lemon (cut two slices and reserve) juiced
Hot water
3 Tbsp sugar
Citron Leaf Soothing Hand & Body Lotion
Instructions:
Make the Martini mix: vodka, orange liqueur and lemon juice in a bowl large enough to hold both hands. Add hot water so hands will be completely covered. Place sugar in another small bowl and lay lemon slices on top.
Remove polish, and file and shape nails. Soak hands in Martini mix for 7-8 minutes. Using an orange stick, gently push cuticles back. Take lemons and dip them into the sugar, using them to "gently" scrub hands and nails. Rinse hands in clean water, dry lightly and massage in lotion. Follow with nail polish if desired.
