NO MEAN FEET!! – Your Guide To The Perfect Home Pedicure

Everyone loves a pedicure – they’re one of the most pampering treatments and what’s more, our hard working feet deserve the odd treat!

FACT: Over three quarters of the bones in your body are in your feet – no wonder they feel so tired after a day’s shopping!

Recreate a professional pedicure at home with this quick step by step guide:

Step 1

Using a good quality foot scrub, gently massage each foot in turn to loosen dead skin and calluses. Soak feet in warm water to remove the scrub.

Step 2

Dry feet gently and shape toe nails straight across to help avoid in growing nails. Keep toe nails reasonably short otherwise they can feel uncomfortable in shoes.

Using a good quality foot file remove dead skin from the sole of the foot and the sides. First use the rougher side and finish with the smoother side, ready for maximum moisturising!

Gently push back cuticles.

Step 3

Massage in a rich moisturiser paying attention to cuticles with an extra drop of Cuticle Oil.

Step 4

Remove oil from the nail plate with to ensure that polish lasts as long as possible. Give each nail a coat of Base Coat to "grip" the polish.

Step 5

Allow base coat to dry and apply two thin coats of polish, allowing 60 seconds to dry between each coat. Remember that thin coats dry quicker than thick coats.

Step 6

Allow a further 60 seconds to dry before finishing with Top Coat leaving your feet ready to be strapped into summer sandals!
