How to DIY a Professional Pedicure at home

Your toes and feet depict a certain personality vibe of yours and it is vital that you pay attention and time to your feet to bring out the best of your personality.

Here are some tips to pamper your feet and toes all by yourself at home.

Gather the required pedicure tools:

The first and most important step for DIY pedicure is to have all the right tools at your disposal. Tools help a lot to bring out the best experience in DIYs. Some must have tools for pedicure are straight nail cutter, nail filer, foot file, cuticle pusher and nipper, cuticle oil and foot mask. For art and designs, your favorite nail polishes along with base and topcoat.

Trim and shape the toenails:

Trim your toenails with a straight (not curved) nail clipper. After clipping your nails, smooth out the rough edges with a nail filer and give the nails a proper shape according to your liking.

Take care of cuticles:

Gently push the cuticles with cuticle pusher and shape them well. Remember, while treating cuticles, think of it as the lesser the better. Don’t play around much with those because any more excitement than required can ruin all of it on this part. Cut out the dead skin with cuticle nipper.

Treat those rough heels with a foot file:

Start by soaking your feet into lukewarm water for some time. Try adding some salt in water. It will help soften the skin quickly. Now grab a foot file and buff away all the rough areas and dead skin cells. If you do this regularly then those cracks would not find a place on the heals of your feet anymore.

Apply foot mask:

Treat your feet with a foot mask to save your skin from the harsh environment and keep the skin soft and moisturized. It is very important step after all the filing and rubbing of tools on your feet to remove dirt and dead skin cells.

Paint toenails:

Now paint your toenails with your favorite nail polish as per your desire.
