After taking each foot out of the water, you should use a towel to dry them very well and then move on to clean and trim your nails. Remember to remove any nail polish from your toes.

If you wish to attain soften and touchable feet, this is a very important part of the home-made process. Exfoliating your feet, results in having soft feet.

When the softening step is over, remove again your feet from the water and dry them with a clean and dry towel. Massage each feet with a foot lotion that can sooth and smoothen your feet and apply the lotion to the whole foot, from top to bottom, toes to ankle. End this massage experience with light strokes going from your toes to your ankles.

Now it is time to trim your toenails. Remember that you should always cut them in a square shape, which will prevent problems of ingrown nails. Using an orange stick or a cuticle stick gently push back cuticles. Do not attempt to cut your cuticles or rub them away, as they are necessary for keeping bacteria away from your inner skin. Doing this step right, will allow you to paint the entire nail by guiding the supple cuticle out of the way.

Then it is time to let the artist inside you take over. Pick the nail polish shade of your choice and apply the first coat slowly. The last coat should be applied once the previous coat is completely dry.

Finally, after letting your nails dry for at least half an hour, rub a dab of olive oil into your cuticles and nail beds in order to moisturize them.

Pay attention to the atmosphere you create and experience in the comfort of your own home a pedicure that could only be offered in a salon. Listen to some relaxing music and enjoy the process.
