I only do Gel Polish but - I did just used to have my client place their foot under the table and onto my lap but it's a lot of feet up, feet down repetitively. Now, I have moved onto a tall, backed bar stool so the feet can remain in one position on a foot stool and I have a better view. No ups and downs all the time. It's much better than under the table but, hard on the back. Next level up would be place the chair on a higher block so the feet are in line with my view
I bought a pedicure footrest and stool from eBay. The height is adjustable which makes it much more comfortable. I also have a reclining chair from IKEA.
I am not from home but if I was I would have the same set up. I let my clients soak for a bit, then I move the basin and they recline for the rest of the service. I had the raised platform made so that I don't have to have my back bent too far. The chair is the most comfiest and so easy to wipe down after each service.
I have a chair from Ikea that doesn't move but it puts the client in a slightly reclined position. I then sit on a padded footstool with a pillow on my lap, this is wrapped in a towel with 10 squares of couch roll. I have a tray next to me with all my equipment and the colour they have choosen. I will try and send a pic later.
