DIY Pedicure at Home
Here’s how to pamper your feet and show off beautiful toes this winter:
What you’ll need:
- Nail clippers
- Nail file
- Base coat
- Top coat
- Your favorite nail polish color (or a fun, funky one!)
Optional for the ultimate pedicure:
- Foot bath
- Cuticle oil
- Foot file or pumice stone
Step 1: Remove Old Polish
Start with a clean slate! Use nail polish remover to wipe away any existing polish.
Step 2: Soak Your Feet (Relaxation Time!)
Fill a foot bath with warm water or better yet, use a basin with Goat’s Milk Bath. Soak your feet for 5-10 minutes to soften the skin. You can use cuticle remover after drying them, focusing on areas like heels.
Step 3: Trim, File, and Buff
Clip your toenails straight across to avoid ingrown nails. Then, use a nail file to shape them and smooth any rough edges. Gently remove calluses from heels and toes with a foot file or pumice stone.
Step 4: Foot Massage (Ahh…)
Treat yourself to a relaxing foot massage! Pay attention to your arches and indulge in some “me time.”
Step 5: Prep for Polish
Separate your toes with cotton balls or toe separators (or a twisted paper towel in a pinch).
Step 6: Base Coat for a Lasting Finish
Apply a thin layer of base coat to create a barrier between your nails’ natural oils and the polish color.
Step 7: Time for Color!
Once the base coat dries completely, paint your toes with your chosen color. Feeling adventurous? Go for a vibrant shade! Prefer something more subtle? There’s a perfect hue for you too. We recommend a purple colour, like lavender. 🙂
Step 8: Seal it Up with a Top Coat
Let the color coat dry completely before applying a top coat. This final layer protects your pedicure and adds shine. Wait at least 10-20 minutes for complete drying before applying the top coat.
Oops! Don’t Worry
Made a mistake? No problem! Take a moment to fix any small imperfections before the top coat. You’ve got this!
