Give your feet the perfect pedicure

Standard People
Summer has been around for a while so sandals have been a staple in many a woman’s wardrobe.

In order to enhance the beauty of the sandal are needs to flaunt pretty feet. Wearing open shoes is also not easy on your feet so every so often one needs to be pampered. They take you from point A to point B, they allow you to stand and dance, the least you could do is show them some tender loving care. Even though they are at the bottom of your body they are still a part of your body.

Before you get started you will need the following tools

•    A foot spa or a small tub to soak your feet in•    Some warm water•    Bath salts, Epsom salt or foam bath•    A pumice stone and a foot file•    Nail dippers and nail file•    Nail polish remover and cotton wool•    Nail polish base coat and top coat•    Cuticle Stick•    Foot scrub and mealie meal•    Lotion and Vaseline•    3 – way foot buffer, toe separations

After you have these you can get together with your girlfriends and give each other pedicures if you cannot give yourself on your own.

The process will go as follows

•    Remove old nail polish with cotton wool and nail polish remover•    Fill your foot spa or small tub with warm water and add the bath salts or foam bath•    With a good book in hand and some soothing music soak your feet for as long as you like, but a minimum of 10 minutes.

•    Once you are ready buff (scrub your feet gently) with the small brush in order to rid your feet of dead skin cells.•    File with foot file or pumice stone especially on the heel and ball of your foot.•    Scrub your feet with the foot scrub or mealie – meal and rinse feet and dry well especially between your toes.•    Clip your toe nails in a square manner.  Rounding the corners may result in ingrown toe nails which are very painful and can cause infections on your toes particularly the big toe.•    File your nails•    Buff your toe nails•    Push back cuticles using cuticle stick. The soaking will make them supple.•    Toe separations are great for painting toe nails as each toe stands as a separate toe.•    Apply the basecoat first. This prevents staining when using a dark nail polish and strengthens the nail as well. •    Once dry apply a coat which adds shine to your color and protects against clipping.•    Massage the lotion and Vaseline into your feet.Now you may flaunt your beautiful feet that feel great as well.
