A great pedicure will have you feeling confident about baring your feet this summer, or wearing your favourite sandals.Everyone knows that a good pedicure involves giving your feet a soak. But before that don’t forget to file your nails. Start by removing old nail polish with an acetone-free formula (keeps nails from getting dry and brittle). Follow the natural curve of your nails when filing.After soaking, apply a soothing lotion to your feet before bedtime, slip on the socks, and go to sleep. They work much the same way as the heated mitts for your hands. The overnight therapy works extra magic. In the morning, your feet will be as soft as silk!
It's time to take off the sneakers and socks and slip your feet into a sexy pair of sandals. Here's how to make sure that your feet look terrific.
1. Soak your feet for about ten minutes.
2. Pat feet dry.
3. Clip toenails straight across. Or, if you would rather, use an emery board (but wait until toenails are completely dry).
4. Using pumice stone, remove any rough areas.
5. Massage cuticle area with a little oil or moisturizer.
6. Gently push back cuticles.
7. Apply foot lotion and massage into each foot.
8. Remove any excess lotion.
9. If you wish to apply polish follow the procedure below.
10. Put a small amount of polish on your brush; paint one stroke down the center of your nail. Your brush should hold just enough color to accomplish this. Stroke the sides of the nail and you are done.
11. Wait until polish is set (dry to the touch) and then apply the top coat. Don't skip this step as it not only adds life to your pedicure, it will protect your nails as well. 12. Sanitize all of your equipment with alcohol and when they are dry, store them away until the next manicure or pedicure.
