4 steps for perfect Pedicure

1

The first step to giving a pedicure is to remove old polish from your nails. Use polish remover to soak a cotton pad to rub off the polish.

Use high quality nail clippers for toenails. Cut nail straight across. Do not clip the edges of your toenails. Use a file to round the nails at the corners. Only move the file in one direction.

To soften your feet, you will need to soak them. Use a plastic tub filled with warm water. You can add bath salts or Epsom salt to the water too. Soak for about 10 minutes. For extra rough feet, soak longer. A professional tip is to add a quarter cup of milk to the water with the salts or oils.

Use cuticle remover to soften the cuticle. Leave the remover on a minute and then push the cuticle back with an orangewood stick. Use cuticle clippers to remove the loose skin being careful no to cut your flesh around you nail.

The next step to an awesome pedicure is to scrub your feet. You will want to use an exfoliating scrub or a wet pumice stone. Apply the scrub to a file if you are using that method. Scrub all the rough places on your foot.

After you scrub your feet make sure you dry them. Pay close attention to drying between your toes. Invest in a high quality foot cream, and rub it all over your feet. You can even go up your calves for a finished feeling. Take care of the cuticles by rubbing some cuticle oil in them.

Use polish remover to rid the nails of any oils on the nails. Apply a base coat. Let that thin coat dry, and then apply another coat. To seal the polish apply a clear top coat. Carefully clean up any mishaps with the polish remover. Let nails dry completely before doing any activities involving the feet.

Now you are set to show off your beautiful feet for the summer. A nice toe ring would accent the pretty polished toes. You could also add an anklet to showcase your nice soft feet.
