Even though summer is coming to an end, this doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to fabulous feet!
They take us anywhere and everywhere we want to go, but they also take a lot of abuse. One of the best ways to revive your tired toes is a pedicure. Because when your feet feel good, your whole body feels refreshed and energized.
Pampering your feet at a salon can be costly, but this doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in a spa like pedicures. You can, by taking it home! So, if you want to find out how you can have a polish to pretty pedicure at home, continue reading!
For this post, I have partnered up with The Pedi Princess. This company was founded by Laura Sipak, and she has reinvented the Pedicure flip flop into blinged-out fashion statement.
The Pedi Princess features a unique blinged out pedi flip flop with jewels that act as toe separators!
Additionally, these cute sandals are much more stable that those dangerous paper ones you get at the salon. Made with a thick cushion sole, it is friendlier to those feet, including a cut out toe shape around the edges. (Don't forget to register to win a pair at the bottom of this page).
So Without Further Ado, Our Top 10 Salon Secrets To Getting A Salon Like Pedicure At Home!
1st Step: Scrub and Soak. You want to start off with clean feet so what better way than to implement a foot scrub and a soak. A DIY approach to this is to combine some olive oil and sea salt to soothe those soles.
2. Dry Up: After soaking your feet, make sure to thoroughly rinse off the scrub or other products and pat your feet dry. Pay close attention to moisture between the toes, which can lead to athlete's foot or other fungal infections.
3. Moisturize: Apply cream all over your feet and toes. Don’t forget your heels!
4. Your Pedicure Flip Flops: No need for those toes separators as you can use a pair of the Pedi Princess. They come in many styles and sizes, plus they can be worn even after the pedicure.
5. Trim & File: You want to trim your toenails, just above the top of each toe. Snip those tips by using a straight-edge toenail clipper as it gives you more of a precision cut. You want to make sure that you cut your toenails when they are wet to avoid them from cracking and splitting. Finish by smoothing out the edges and shape your nail with a professional grade emery board.
6. Clean Nails: It seems simple, but you want to make sure that all the old nail polish is removed completely. One way to ensure this is a quick wipe over with some vinegar, as it will remove any leftover nail polish remover, moisturizer, or any other residue; ultimately enabling the polish to adhere longer.
7. Polish Up: Application is important! After all, the nail polish is the icing on the cake so to speak. Hence, you want to make sure you are patiently applying the nail polish so it will dry correctly, preventing smudges.
8. PREVENT SMUDGING: One reason your nails are smudging is because you are applying too much nail polish at once. Instead, apply multiple thin coats instead of one thick coat. Doing multiple thin coats will enable those coats to dry and not smudge. Painting is a 3 step process. You want to start with one coat down the middle and one on each side.
9. No More Messy Pedicures: A great way to keep nail polish from running onto your cuticles or toes is to apply a small bit of petroleum jelly along the sides and the base of your nails. If polish seeps off the toenail, who cares, as all you have to do is wipe off the petroleum jelly, and you now have perfectly painted nails!
10. Dry: You should give yourself about 15 mins. to dry. And don't forget you can walk around in your Pedi Princess Flip-Flops as there are not just Pedi Flip-Flops, they're a fashion statement!
So there you have it beauties, the top 10 salon secrets revealed on how to get a salon like pedicure at home!
