At-Home Pedicure Kit

You will need a solid arsenal for your pedi. It may look like a lot, but you can find them online. The at-home pedicure kit requires nail polish remover, nail clipper, nail file, nail buffer, cuticle pusher, nail nipper, q-tips and cotton balls, cuticle oil, eraser exfoliating scrub, foot file or pumice stone, foot lotion, toe separator, base and topcoat and nail polish.

Instructions for At-Home Pedicure

• Remove your old nail polish before soaking your feet, because once your fingers get wet, polish gets slippery and harder to remove.
• For a real pedicure, soaking your feet is a must. Soak for about five to ten minutes as it softens the rough skin, which makes it easier to scrub away the hard skin and push back cuticles.
• After your feet are nice and soft from the soak, use a foot or nail file to wick away the dead skin.
• Now, give your toenails the shape you desire and then send a nail buffer back and forth over each toenail to smooth its surface.
• Apply a cuticle eraser or remover to the skin around nails and with a metal cuticle pusher, gently push your cuticle back. If you are confident, only then go ahead and cut the loosened skin around the cuticles.
• Now that your nails are almost clean, dedicate a few minutes to get your feet in shape. Dip your feet into the water once more and run a foot file back and forth across your heels, soles and side (gently) to get rid of all the dead skin.
• Use a scrub and massage your feet, ankles and calves. Once done, rinse off with warm water, making sure there is no cuticle residue between your toes.
• Moisturize and massage your feet. After drying off your feet, use lotion or foot cream to replenish any moisture lost post scrub.
• Clean your nails and cuticles with a cotton ball soaked in nail paint remover to nix any remaining oils.
• Apply your favourite nail polish colour. First, apply thin and even layers. Once you are satisfied with the first coat, go in for a second thin coat.
