DIY: At Home Pedicure
Sandal season is upon us and it’s time to reintroduce our toes to the world. No need to pay spa prices for a pedicure. Use these at-home tips to get polished in minutes!
Remove old nail polish. Strip old color with acetone polish remover on a cotton ball. (Note: Don’t use a tissue, it will fall apart and doesn’t absorb the remover well.)
Slough It Off. The first order of business is to get a pumice stone. A must-have for any DIY pedicure, a pumice stone will quickly and gently remove rough or callused skin on your feet.
Soak. Soak your feet in the bath or a pan of warm water. Lather your feet with your favorite shower gel. Gently rub pumice stone over rough areas. Use a washcloth to wash away the dead skin cells.
Shape. Start off by trimming your nails with a large, straight nail clipper. File your nails and push back your cuticles with an orangewood stick.
Smooth. After rinsing, use a rich lotion to lock in the moisture. Avoid dry, cracked cuticles by using cuticle oil regularly.
Polish. Use a basecoat to help prevent discoloring and then apply your nail polish followed by the topcoat. Wait at least half an hour to an hour before putting your shoes on.
