We have had a hint of summer to know it is not far away and now Its the time to take off the shoes and slip your feet into a pair of thongs or a pair of sexy sandals. However, you realise that your cuticles are unkempt and the heels are rough and unattractive. Well, here are a few inexpensive tips in getting amazing feet this summer.
- Soak your feet in warm water for about 7 to 10 minutes – even nicer if you use a foot soak.
- Pat your feet dry with a clean towel. Don’t forget to dry between the toes also. – Cut the nails straight across.
. – Use a pumice stone to remove the rough ‘material’ from your heels.
- Massage the cuticle area with moisturizer. – Gently push the cuticles back.
- Apply some lotion and massage into each foot. Remove any excess.
To get the finished look, apply some nail polish if you wish.
- Put some polish on your brush but just enough to paint one or two strokes down the centre of the nail. Stroke the sides of the nail.. (Remember to use the protective base basecoat before applying any colour to your nails.
- Wait until the polish is dry then apply the topcoat. It is imperative that you do not forget this step as it not only gives the desired sheen but it also adds life to your pedicure and protects the nail as well
. Have fun and be proud in showing off those fabulous, ‘home-done’ nails this summer.
