Quick Pedicure Tips

o Remove all old nail polish.

o Apply cuticle cream around toenails. Use an orange wood stick to gently push back the cuticles around the toenails and clean under the toenails.

o Use nail clippers to clip toenails straight across and remove any excess skin. Use a file to smooth the edges and slightly round the toenails.

o Prepare feet for nail polish application by ensuring they are clean and dry.

o Put foam toe separators in place.

o Apply four coats of nail polish to toenails. One clear base coat, two coats of color and one clear top coat. Quick dry can also be used, if needed. If quick dry is not used, then wait 3-5 minutes between each coat to ensure proper dryness level is reached. Always gently roll the nail polish bottle to prevent air bubbles, as needed, never shake.

o Reapply top coat every three days to ensure toenails remain chip free.

Pedicures can protect feet from common foot problems like calluses, fungal infections and in-grown toe nails. Luxurious pedicures also help stimulate blood flow and reduce overall stress. In addition, feet are left feeling soft, smooth and beautiful. Once at-home pedicures are complete, always ensure tools are sterilized using soap and water and rubbing alcohol.

Time and money may not allow for a professional spa visit so enjoy the at-home experience anytime and in the privacy of your own home. To ensure a smooth and relaxing pedicure gather all supplies and tools before beginning and tune out all the demands life presents for a short time.
