Sandal season is upon us and there's nothing worse
than
dry, cracked, fugly feet
peaking out of your
pretty summer shoes.
You don't need to head to a spa or a salon
to get your
feet looking pretty.
The
Australian Beauty
girls
have some
DIY Pedicure tips for you.
It'll take about 1/2 an hour.
You'll need:
Nail Polish Remover
Cotton Pads
Foot File
Toe Nail Clippers
Epsom Salts
Lavender Oil
Warm Water
1 cup salt or sugar
Clear Base Coat Polish
Nail Polish (optional)
Clear Top Coat
A Large Bowl
2 Towels
1. Remove your old polish using a cotton pad.
Tissues disolve and cotton balls leave fuzzies.
2. Gently file away any hard, crusty (ew) skin.
DO NOT use any foot shaving devices.
Avon has a fantastic, cheap foot file in it's
range.
3. Clip and file your nails.
Using toe nail clippers, trim your nails straight across to prevent ingrown toenails.
Avoid cutting too short or too deep.
Push cuticles back with an orange stick.
4. Soak your feet.
For best results,
add some Epsom salts and a few drops of lavender essential oil to
a bowl of warm water.
5. Exfoliate.
Grab a cup of salt or sugar and scrub all over your feet.
Rinse.
6. Moisturise.
There's a myriad of products on the market
and the cheapies work just as well as more
expensive products.
Rub it in well.
7. Polish.
Apply a clear base coat to prevent colour staining your nails.
Add 2 layers
of your favourite colour lacquer.
Apply a top coat.
8. Grab a magazine and LET THEM DRY!
Then throw on your favourite shoes
and
show off your pretty feet!
