Relax! Give Yourself a Pedicure
You worked all week, made dinner and cleaned the house. Ladies, I think it’s time to pamper yourself and what better way than to give yourself a pedicure at home!
So, put on some comfy PJs and get to chillaxing. The steps for how to give yourself a pedicure are easy and very soothing.
Give yourself a pedicure with these easy-to-follow steps and get those feet pretty, polished and smooth!
1. Remove Polish
Remove the nail polish, if any, off of your toes before you begin your at-home
pedicure.
Use a cotton swab and soak it with acetone or non-acetone nail polish
remover and completely remove the polish.
2. Clip
Clip your toe nails and file them until they are smooth.
3. Soak
Soak your feet in the tub or in a large bowl or basin filled with warm water.
Pour some relaxing bubble bath, bath salts or any other type of foot soak into the
water.
You pick how long you’d like to soak; it’s your pedicure treatment! Pick
a yummy smelling one!
Lavender scent has been shown to be one of the most
soothing scents. It even assists in falling asleep.
4. Cuticles
Use a little cuticle moisturizer on your toes and push back your cuticles using an orangewood stick.
Make sure to do this step after your soak. It will loosen up your cuticles.
5. Scrub Your Feet
Use a body or foot scrub and a foot file and scrub your feet and get rid of the dead skin.
Be sure to get the back of your toes, heel and ball of your foot. Rinse if needed to get rid of excess gunk.
6. Moisturize
Moisturize and massage your feet. Better yet, get your husband in there and have him give you the massage!
Don’t forget to moisturize and massage your ankles and legs too.
Pick a delicious smelling lotion to really heighten the pedicure experience. Peppermint scented lotion is a favorite.
7. Polish
Use toe separators to make sure you don’t smear your freshly painted toes. If you don’t have toe separators, you can use cotton balls in between each toe or put on a pair of flip-flop sandals to make sure you don’t ruin the polish.
Use a base coat first. Then apply the color nail polish you’d like and wait for it to dry. Apply a second coat if desired.
Then apply a non-chip, extra glossy topcoat for the ultimate finish. Wait until totally dried before removing the toe separators or going out.
Extra Tips
Keep the lights dim during your at-home pedicure. Maybe play some low, soothing music in the background while you give yourself a pedicure.
Go the extra distance and pour yourself a glass of wine.
