Give Yourself A Full Pedicure
The first thing your feet need to make them look presentable is a full pedicure. You can book in for one of these at a salon, or you can do it yourself at home to save some money. Here’s what to do:- Take off any old nail polish with acetone, and clip your toenails straight across.
- Use a file to smooth the edges of your toenails, remembering to keep them straight as you can cause ingrown toenails otherwise.
- Soak your feet in a bowl of warm-hot water and relax for 15 minutes until your skin has softened.
- Push back your cuticles and clip them if necessary, then scrape off all of your dead skin with a ped egg or foot file.
- Lightly buff your toenails, separate with tissue or toe separators, and then use a base coat on them and leave to dry.
- Paint your toenails with your chosen color, using 2 coats for full coverage. Try to get as close to the edges as possible without getting it on your skin. Leave to dry.
- Apply your top coat and leave to dry.
- Apply a nice thick moisturizer and some cuticle oil – your feet will look as good as new!
